InnovateGW I-Corps Site Program

The InnovateGW I-Corps Site Program, funded by the National Science Foundation, awards grants of up to $3,000 to GW students and faculty who wish to explore the prospects for applications of their research or technology to solve problems that could lead to a broader impact in society.

The grant money can be used for travel and related expenses to conduct customer interviews. It can also be used for some limited development of prototypes or a minimum viable product.
