I-Corps at UMaine
About the program · 1 linked sources
I-Corps at UMaine helps faculty, staff, and students identify the market opportunity for STEM-based research and is described as a first step in exploring commercialization. The program has Spark and Fusion tracks. Fusion teams need at least two members, an Entrepreneurial Lead and a Technical Lead, a University of Maine affiliation, and a technology-based innovation. Fusion teams have access to a modest stipend for interview travel and expenses. Projects can originate from student work, funded or unfunded research, or institutional or industrial projects. The topical focus must be in NSF-supported STEM fields, and the page also says humanities, business, social science, and interdisciplinary innovations are eligible if there is a technology application.
