Dr. Zin led his postdoc team: Vibhor and Munan to win 2022 NSF I-Corp Northeast Regional Program.

In the NSF I-Corp Northeast Regional program, scientists and engineers take the first step in assessing if their research has the feasibility to become a product or service of benefit to society.

Participants join the program in small teams organized around the development and commercialization of a particular discovery.

Teams engage in customer discovery research aimed at investigating the commercial viability and societal impact of a novel discovery or process in science, technology or engineering.

The program provides grants of up to $3,000 and training to support customer discovery and technology investigation.

Each training program consists of 4 sessions (online) provided by instructors at our Hub institutions.
