项目摘要

This project, from Texas State University's (TSU) aims to further entrepreneurial excellence by creating an NSF I-Corps Site through the Materials Science, Engineering and Commercialization (MSEC) Program. 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.MSEC accomplishes cross-campus synergy by bringing various entrepreneurial units' efforts together on common projects. With the assistance of this Site grant, MSEC strengthens the innovation ecosystem across the university, grows the commercialization culture at TSU and increases diversity. MSEC will use the five-year I-Corps Site funding to firmly embed an I-Corps environment across TSU, coalescing the efforts of various units across campus into a cohesive entrepreneurial resource for the university. MSEC is an integrated effort based on the university's College of Science and Engineering (COSE) and McCoy College of Business Administration (MCBA), bringing scientists and engineers together with experts in entrepreneurship to ensure success of the I-Corps Site. With an emphasis on under-represented students, staff, and faculty, the I-Corps Site provides resources to individuals and teams in the form of entrepreneurial mentoring, curriculum, and intellectual property guidance needed to transition technology into the marketplace.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

来自德克萨斯州立大学（TSU）的该项目旨在通过材料科学，工程和商业化（MSEC）计划创建NSF I-Corps网站，以进一步创业。 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。MSEC通过将各种企业家单位的努力汇总在共同项目上，从而实现了跨校园的协同作用。在本网站赠款的协助下，MSEC加强了整个大学的创新生态系统，增长了TSU的商业化文化并增加了多样性。 MSEC将使用五年的I-Corps网站资金牢固地嵌入TSU的I-Corps环境，将各个校园各个单位的努力融合为大学的凝聚力企业家资源。 MSEC是一项基于该大学科学与工程学院（COSE）和麦考伊工商管理学院（MCBA）的综合努力，将科学家和工程师与企业家精神专家一起确保I-Corps网站的成功。 I-Corps站点强调了代表性不足的学生，教职员工和教职员工，以企业家指导，课程和知识产权指导的形式为个人和团队提供资源，以将其转变为市场上。该奖项通过评估NSF的法规审查，反映了NSF的法定任务，并已被评估范围构成了构想的范围。
