Congress makes the following findings: The National Science Foundation Innovation Corps (referred to in this section as the I-Corps ) was established to foster a national innovation ecosystem by encouraging institutions, scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs to identify and explore the potential of Foundation-funded research well beyond the laboratory. Through I-Corps, the Foundation invests in entrepreneurship and commercialization education, training, and mentoring that can ultimately lead to the practical deployment of technologies, products, processes, and services that improve the Nation’s competitiveness and benefit society.
It is the sense of Congress that, in order to promote a strong, lasting foundation for the American innovation ecosystem, I-Corps should continue to build a network of entrepreneurs, educators, mentors, and institutions and support specialized education and training. The Director shall encourage the development and expansion of I-Corps and of other training programs that focus on graduate student professional development, including education in product commercialization and entrepreneurship.
To facilitate this development and expansion, the Director may establish agreements with other Federal agencies that fund scientific research and development to allow researchers funded by those agencies to participate in the I-Corps program. Sections 527(b) of the America COMPETES Reauthorization Act of 2010 ( 42 U.S.C. 1862p–15(b) ) is amended— by striking paragraphs
