Application and Timing
The student-resources page calls Next Great Startup a yearly competition. The next deadline was not captured.
Participants
The accelerator cohort description emphasizes faculty, postdocs, graduate students, and community founders. Undergraduates are explicitly included in the student-resources page through internships, InnovationX programming, and Next Great Startup.

Research gaps & things to verify
