This project from American University in Washington DC creates an NSF I-Corps Site that will have a close affiliation with the Washington DC I-Corps Node. 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. I-Corps Sites also strengthen innovation locally and regionally and contribute to the National Innovation Network of mentors, researchers, entrepreneurs and investors.The Tenleytown I-Corps Site for Science and Innovation creates a culture of innovation through student led technology entrepreneurship. Internal collaborations between the College of Arts and Sciences, the Kogod School of Business and other American University entities as well as external collaborations with the University of the District of Columbia's Community College (UDC-CC) will promote a venture landscape in Washington, DC and beyond. The College of Arts and Sciences hosts a maker space (STEAMworks) for prototype development and the Kogod School of Business hosts a business incubator. Each of these assets are now housed in a single interdisciplinary technology building, the Don Myers Technology and Innovation Building, fostering innovative technology ventures. The Tenleytown iCorps Site will open unprecedented technology entrepreneurship training for underrepresented students by sponsoring pitch competitions, customer discovery workshops, and prototype fabrication sessions within the new building. Student teams will join the AU Incubator, perform customer discovery under the Lean Launchpad model, and continue to work within the Innovation Center to prepare for I-Corps regional and national programs, and/or to obtain further funding from innovation competitions, grants, and venture capitalists. The Tenleytown I-Corps Site will (1) develop creative and interdisciplinary ventures with students from a liberal arts university and a community college; (2) develop the innovators' entrepreneurial skills; (3) diversify the profile of venture founders; (4) increase commercialization success of student led technology ventures; (5) prepare students for success in I-Corps regional and national programs; and (6) adequately prepare students and faculty to pursue SBIR/STTR funding.The Tenleytown I-Corps Site's program broader impacts are realized through the creation of a network of strategic partnerships between two diverse institutions and the neighboring technology community. Specifically, each of these institutions have the capacity to increase minority and female representation among business leaders. Activities will include multi-campus, interdisciplinary collaborations; industry mentorship; participation of 5-10 teams (annually) in the I-Corps Node Program; and an overall culture of change (innovation, entrepreneurship and collaboration) at American University and the University of the District of Columbia Community College.

华盛顿特区美国大学的该项目创建了一个NSF I-Corps网站，该网站将与华盛顿特区I-Corps节点密切相关。 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网站还在本地和地区加强了创新，并为国家指导者，研究人员，企业家和投资者的创新网络做出了贡献。Tenleytown I-Corps I-Corps网站科学与创新网站通过学生LED技术的技术企业创造了创新文化。 艺术与科学学院，科戈德商学院和其他美国大学实体以及与哥伦比亚大学社区学院（UDC-CC）的外部合作之间的内部合作将促进华盛顿特区及其他地区的风险景观。 艺术与科学学院拥有一个用于原型开发的制造商空间（Steamworks），而Kogod商学院则设有商业孵化器。 现在，这些资产中的每一个都位于单个跨学科技术大楼，Don Myers技术和创新建筑中，从而促进了创新技术。 Tenleytown ICORPS网站将通过赞助推销比赛，客户发现研讨会和新建筑中的原型制造会议，为代表性不足的学生开放前所未有的技术企业家培训。学生团队将加入AU孵化器，在精益发射台模型下进行客户发现，并继续在创新中心工作，为I-Corps地区和国家计划做准备，并/或/或从创新竞赛，赠款和风险投资家中获得进一步的资金。 Tenleytown I-Corps网站将（1）与来自文科大学和社区学院的学生一起发展创意和跨学科的企业； （2）发展创新者的企业家技能； （3）多元化风险创始人的概况； （4）增加学生LED技术企业的商业化成功； （5）为学生在I-Corps地区和国家计划中的成功做好准备； （6）充分的学生和教职员工为寻求SBIR/STTR资金做好准备。通过建立两个不同机构与邻近技术社区之间建立建立战略合作伙伴关系网络，Tenleytown I-Corps网站的计划更广泛的影响。具体而言，这些机构中的每个机构都有能力增加商业领袖之间的少数群体和女性代表。 活动将包括多校园，跨学科合作；行业指导； 5-10个团队（每年）参加I-Corps节点程序；以及美国大学和哥伦比亚特区社区学院大学的整体变革文化（创新，企业家和合作）。
