NSF I-Corps Aspire

Turn your research into real-world impact by joining the NSF I-Corps Aspire Cohort, a fast-paced virtual program designed to help academic innovators move ideas from lab to market through hands-on customer discovery and problem-solution validation.

With multiple cohort dates available, participants learn the fundamentals needed to take the first steps toward SBIR eligibility and a potential $50,000 National I-Corps grant through four engaging Zoom sessions.

To learn more, join Hub Director Ji Mi Choi for an informal Ask Me Anything session on April 9, 2026, from 11:00–11:30 a.m. MST (Phoenix) to discuss advancing research impact and navigating the I-Corps ecosystem.
