Do you want to learn how to accelerate, scale and sustain the translation of your social science research, biomedical discoveries and health innovations into viable products, impactful services and programs? Enroll today in the I-Corps@NCATS (National Center for Advancing Translational Science) training program.

Launched in Fall 2021 by Loyola University Chicago and Chicago’s Institute for Translational Medicine, this course is based on the National Science Foundation (NSF) I-Corps and I-Corps at National Institutes for Health (NIH) Entrepreneurial Training Program. Utilizing the Business Model Canvas tool, the program encourages team science and experiential learning. Instructors take teams through the early stages of customer discovery where they can test the business model hypotheses of their innovations.

We are now accepting applications for the Spring 2024 I-Corps@NCATS training. Hybrid classes will be held both virtually on Zoom PLUS some in-person meeting opportunities. Sessions will be led by specialized instructors passionate about helping teams refine value propositions and deliver maximum impact to their target populations.

Register here.
