This project, from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM), extends their initial I-Corps Site award for scale up to their next phase of support for innovation and entrepreneurship. 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. This is a proposal for a Type II I-Corps Site - Type II proposals are submitted by institutions that have already received a Type I award.The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM), in partnership with the UWM Research Foundation (UWMRF), currently operates the NSF I-Corps Site of Southeastern Wisconsin ("Milwaukee I-Corps Site"), which is the only NSF I-Corps site in Wisconsin. The site draws academic teams from five Milwaukee-area academic institutions: UWM, the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW), Marquette University (MU), Concordia University of Wisconsin (CUW), and the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE). This has been an exemplary I-Corps Site that: reached out across the state; launched a Healthcare initiative; succeeded in inclusiveness, particularly among women; experimented with a variety of curricular offerings; and engaged in entrepreneurship research and published outcomes of their studies.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.

该项目由威斯康星大学密尔沃基分校 (UWM) 提供，将其最初的 I-Corps Site 奖项扩大到下一阶段对创新和创业的支持。创新军团 (I-Corps) 站点是由 NSF 资助的在大学建立的实体，其目的是培养和支持多个本地团队，将其技术概念转化为市场。网站提供基础设施、建议、资源、交流机会、培训和适度的资金，使团体能够将他们的工作转移到市场或成为 I-Corps 团队申请人。 I-Corps 站点还加强本地和区域创新，并为导师、研究人员、企业家和投资者组成的国家创新网络做出贡献。这是针对 II 类 I-Corps 站点的提案 - II 类提案由已获得 I 类奖项的机构提交。威斯康星大学密尔沃基分校 (UWM) 与 UWM 研究基金会 (UWMRF) 合作，目前运营着威斯康星州东南部的 NSF I-Corps 站点（“密尔沃基 I-Corps 站点”），这是威斯康星州唯一的 NSF I-Corps 站点。该网站吸引了来自密尔沃基地区五个学术机构的学术团队：威斯康星大学、威斯康星医学院 (MCW)、马凯特大学 (MU)、威斯康星康科迪亚大学 (CUW) 和密尔沃基工程学院 (MSOE)。这是一个典型的 I-Corps 站点： 覆盖全州；发起了一项医疗保健计划；成功实现了包容性，特别是对妇女的包容性；尝试各种课程设置；该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
