John Inserra will provide an I-Corps introduction and a taste of the NSF I-Corps Hub program curriculum.
Join us for this virtual seminar featuring John Inserra, Program Manager of the NSF I-Corps Hub at the Innovation Institute. He’ll take you on a journey into the world of I-Corps and offer a sneak peek into the transformative Pitt Ventures I-Corps Short Course curriculum. The Pitt Ventures I-Corps Short Course is a dynamic innovation commercialization training program designed to propel Pitt’s cutting-edge research innovations into market-ready products and services, positively impacting lives.
We will also be discussing the 2024 SHRS Innovation Challenge which is an opportunity for faculty to move early-stage discoveries from the University of Pittsburgh’s School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences towards the market in tandem with the Regional NSF I-Corps. A total of $100,000 is available to the winners of the SHRS Innovation Challenge! Cross-campus collaboration is encouraged!
The SHRS Innovation Seminar Series is an opportunity for our community to gather together to learn about commercialization as an impactful rehabilitation research translation strategy. The open discussions included during each seminar are a networking opportunity and facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration on specific commercialization projects. The series is co-sponsored by the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences and the Office of Innovation and Entrepreneurship’s Innovation Institute.
