Abstract: 

Proposed Project 

The National Science Foundation 

(NSF) Innovation Corps (I-CorpsTM), 

herein known as I-Corps program, was 

established at NSF in Fiscal Year (FY) 

2012 to equip scientists with the 

entrepreneurial tools needed to 

transform discoveries with commercial 

realization potential into innovative 

technologies. The goal of the I-Corps 

Program is to use experiential education 

to help researchers reduce the time 

necessary to translate a promising idea 

from the laboratory to the marketplace. 

In addition to accelerating technology 

translation, NSF seeks to reduce the risk 

associated with technology 

development conducted without insight 

into industry requirements and 

challenges. The I-Corps Program uses a 

lean startup approach to encourage 

scientists to think like entrepreneurs 

through intensive workshop training 

and ongoing support. 

In FY 2017, the American Innovation 

and Competitiveness Act (AICA), Public 

Law 114–329, Sec. 601, formally 

authorized and directed the expansion 

of NSF I-Corps Program to increase the 

economic competitiveness of the United 

States, enhance partnerships between 

academia and industry, develop an 

American STEM workforce that is 

globally competitive, and support 

female entrepreneurs and individuals 

from historically underrepresented 

groups in STEM through mentorship, 

education, and training. 

Under AICA, NSF has built and 

expanded the I-Corps Program through 

the National Innovation Network (NIN) 

model. NIN is a collection of NSF ICorps Nodes and Sites that, together 

with NSF, implement the I-Corps 

program to grow and sustain the 

national innovation ecosystem. I-Corps 

Nodes are typically large, multiinstitutional collaborations that deliver 

the NSF National I-Corps Teams 

training curriculum and recruit and 

train the National I-Corps instructors. ICorps Sites are entrepreneurial centers 

located at individual colleges and 

universities that catalyze potential ICorps teams within their local 

institutions. Together, the Nodes and 

Sites have served as the backbone of the 

NIN. 

In 2020, NSF published the Program 

Solicitation, NSF 20–529, to formalize 

the launching of the NSF I-Corps Hubs 

Program, which further expands and 

strengthens the NIN. The I-Corps Hubs 

are designed to support inclusive, 

regional communities of innovators, in 

that teams are encouraged to recruit 

diverse members at all levels. In 

addition, the I-Corps Hubs Program also 

provides new pathways for teams to 

qualify for the participation in the 

National I-Corps M Teams program. 

Through the I-Corps Hubs solicitation, 

NSF seeks to evolve the current NIN 

structure, into a more integrated model 

capable of sustained operation at the 

scope and scale required to support the 

expansion of the NSF I-Corps Program 

as directed by AICA. 

Under AICA, NSF is directed to 

collect data and information pertaining 

to the characteristics, outputs, and 

outcomes from the teams as well as 

individuals funded by the NSF ICorpsTM Program. The collection of this 

information will enable the evaluation 

of and reporting on the four themes as 

outlined in the FY 2021 NSF I-Corps 

Biennial Report to Congress: 

1. Technology Translation 

2. Entrepreneurial Training and 

Workforce Development 

3. Economic Impact 

4. Collaboration and Inclusion 

Recently, NSF published a new ICorps Hubs Solicitation, NSF 22–566, 

that supplants the now archived NSF 

20–529. The new solicitation contains a 

set of modified grantee reporting 

requirements. In response to these 

modifications, NSF requests the revision 

of the previously cleared grantee 

reporting requirements under 3145– 

0258 to reflect the updates in NSF 22– 

566. NSF will modify the awards made 

under NSF 20–529 to comply with the 

new reporting requirements outlined in 

NSF 22–566 once this Paperwork 

Reduction Act request is approved by 

the OMB. 

Under the new reporting requirements 

outlined in NSF 22–566, each Hub is 

required to provide data and

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 96 / Wednesday, May 18, 2022 / Notices 30283 

documentation to demonstrate the 

progress of the six (6) required 

activities: 

1. Team Expansion 

2. I-Corps Training 

3. Institutional Expansion of the Hub 

4. Evaluation of Hubs 

5. Entrepreneurial Research 

6. Broadening Participation 

More concretely, each Hub is asked to 

report on the following: 

1. Results from surveys that were 

designed to track the 

entrepreneurial progress of Program 

Participants 

2. Results from a survey gauging the 

level of Participants’ satisfaction 

with the Program (customer 

feedback) 

3. Records on the Hub: 

a. Institution name 

b. Role (Lead or Partner) 

c. Year joined the Hub 

4. Records on the personnel working at 

the Lead and Partner institutions 

within the Hub: 

a. Name 

b. Role (Director, Coordinator, 

Evaluation Lead, etc) 

c. Contact Information for each 

individual in 4.a 

5. Records on cohorts of teams trained 

during a FY: 

a. Date 

b. Location 

6. Records on the instructors by cohort: 

a. Instructor’s name 

b. Instructor’s affiliation 

c. A brief bio of the instructor 

d. Contact information 

7. Records of all the teams and 

individuals participating in the 

Program 

a. Teams— 

i. Name of the Team 

ii. Participation Date 

iii. Mentor Assigned 

iv. Contact Information of the Mentor 

b. Participants— 

i. Team Name 

ii. Current occupation (faculty 

member, student, post-doc, or 

others) 

iii. Institution Affiliation

v. Gender, Demographics, Disability, 

and Veteran Status 

8. Outcomes of the team: 

a. I-Corps National Teams Program 

Pathway 

i. Whether the team has applied and/ 

or been accepted into the NSF 

National I-Corps Program 

1. If applicable, the Team Number in 

the National Program 

b. Funding/Investment records, 

obtained from third-party 

subscription data, for the teams or 

startups that have participated in 

the Program 

The reporting requirements listed 

above are in addition to the data 

collected by the agency’s annual report 

and final report requirements for the 

grantees. The information will help NSF 

report on NIN activities in the Biennial 

Report to Congress (as mandated by the 

AICA), and will provide managing 

Program Directors a means to monitor 

the progresses of these I-Corps Hubs. 

Finally, in compliance with the 

Evidence Act of 2019, information 

collected will be used to satisfy other 

Congressional requests, support the 

agency’s policymaking and internal 

evaluation and assessment needs, and 

respond to inquiries from the public, 

NSF’s external merit reviewers who 

serve as advisors, and NSF’s Office of 

the Inspector General. 

Information collected will include the 

names of the participants, their 

affiliated organizations, email addresses, 

and home states. These personal 

identifiable information (PII) are 

collected primarily to track recipients in 

their roles in the I-Corps Teams, and to 

allow NSF to perform due diligence and 

quality control on the data provided by 

the grantees. In addition, other 

requested information includes the 

participants’ self-reporting of: 

occupation, gender, demographics, 

disability status, and veteran status. 

This information is collected primarily 

for Congressional reporting purposes. 

These PII data will be accessed only by 

the I-Corps Hubs, the managing I-Corps 

Program Directors, NSF senior 

management, and supporting staff 

conducting analyses using the data as 

authorized by NSF. Any public 

reporting of data will be in aggregate 

form, and any personal identifiers will 

be removed. 

Use of the information: The 

information collected is primarily for 

the agency’s AICA Reporting 

requirements, and other Congressional 

requests. 

Estimate burden on the public: 

Estimated to be no more than 240 hours 

per award, per year, for the life of the 

award. 

Respondents: I-Corps Hubs Grantees 

(Each Hub reports one set of data on 

behalf of the Lead and partner 

institutions of that Hub). 

Estimated number of respondents: 5– 

9. 

Frequency: Twice per year for the first 

year, then once per year thereafter.
