UGA NSF I-Corps Application

Projects supported by UGA I-Corps can be from any discipline of research and can originate from faculty research, student work, or industry projects. You can come in with your own existing technology, at any stage, that you or your team want to commercialize. Don’t have an idea or technology but want to learn how the customer discovery process works? Great! Fill out the application and indicate that you do not have a technology but would like to be placed with a team. 

Please complete the application to the best of your ability. You may apply as an individual or as a team. If you’re applying with a team, list each team member and select the role that best describes them from the three options below. (Teams may include more than one person in the same role — for example, two entrepreneurs or two mentors.) Only fill out information for the team members you actually have.

• Entrepreneur: Motivated team member that will take the most active part in the customer discovery process, usually a student
• Academic: Technical expert for the product or technology that understands its possibilities and applications, usually a professor or scientist
• Mentor: an experienced or emerging business person with ties to the target industry, or a person with contacts within the target industry
