As a UA-based I-Corps team, you will be eligible for funding provided by the National Science Foundation for your work in I-Corps. For completing the 21 required customer interviews of the 7-week I-Corps program, your team will be eligible for a $2,000 grant to further commercialization activity on your project. This account will be set up by the University of Akron's Office of Research Administration after your team has submitted all 21 interviews to Basecamp and completed your final presentation on November 22nd.
In order to receive this funding, your team must complete and submit the attached Budget Form and a Client Engagement Letter to Basecamp. You can upload completed documents to your team Basecamp page in the "Funding Documents" folder. Both documents must be submitted before we can initiate processing your funding.
