The Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) and the Connecticut Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation (CCEI) are pleased to announce that UConn has been selected as a National Science Foundation I-Corps Site. The primary goal of the NSF I-Corps program is to foster entrepreneurship that will lead to the commercialization of technology that has been supported previously by NSF-funded research. UConn has been awarded a grant from NSF of $300,000 for three years that will support student and faculty commercialization endeavors.
