This project is from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and extends and expands their existing I-Corps Site for another three years. NSF Innovation Corps (I-Corps) Sites are NSF-funded entities established at universities whose purpose is to nurture and support multiple, local teams to transition their technology concepts into the marketplace. Sites provide infrastructure, advice, resources, networking opportunities, training and modest funding to enable groups to transition their work into the marketplace or into becoming I-Corps Team applicants. There are two types of I-Corps Site proposals: Type I - Type I proposals are submitted by institutions that have not had prior funding as an I-Corps Site. These proposals may request funding for up to five years. Type II - Type II proposals are submitted by institutions that have had prior funding as an I-Corps Site. These proposals may request funding for up to three years. UIUC's first Site award, funded in 2014, was highly successful. Many of their teams went on to the national I-Corps Program and many teams launched startups from their local Site. The PI and Co-PI have been not only been active in the National Innovation Network, they serve as catalysts for national activities and assist other Sites during their startups. The University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign previous site has been exemplary. Their proposal documents their successes and includes additional features that did not exist in their original Site.

该项目来自伊利诺伊大学Urbana-Champaign（UIUC），并将其现有的I-Corps网站扩展并延长了三年。 NSF创新军（I-Corps）站点是在大学建立的NSF资助的实体，其目的是培育和支持多个本地团队，以将其技术概念过渡到市场。网站提供基础架构，建议，资源，网络机会，培训和适度的资金，以使团体能够将其工作转变为市场或成为I-Corps团队申请人。 I-Corps网站提案有两种类型：I型 - I类型提案是由没有作为I-Corps网站资金的机构提交的。这些建议可能要求最多五年的资金。 II型 - II型建议是由先前作为I -Corps网站资金的机构提交的。这些建议最多可能需要三年的资金。 UIUC于2014年资助的第一个网站奖非常成功。他们的许多团队都参加了国家I-Corps计划，许多团队从本地网站开设了初创公司。 PI和Co-Pi不仅活跃在国家创新网络中，而且还可以作为国家活动的催化剂，并在初创企业期间为其他网站提供帮助。伊利诺伊大学在乌尔巴纳香槟分校的上一个网站是典范。他们的提案记录了他们的成功，其中包括其原始站点中不存在的其他功能。
