NSF has transitioned the I-Corps program to a hub model where leading institutions coordinate and deliver programming virtually to partner institutions across the region. MIT has been designated as the lead for the New England I-Corps Hub.

We encourage Brandeis researchers and innovators interested in advancing their entrepreneurial journey to participate in the I-Corps program through the MIT's Spark initiative. MIT Spark provides exceptional resources, mentoring, and funding opportunities to support groundbreaking research and commercialization efforts. We suggest you check their website often as they run programs throughout the year.
