(As I expect you are aware, Kevin Wood has transitioned through both, and has some exciting commercialization opportunities on the docket.) In addition, there is data showing that participants in I-Corps programs have 3x greater success rate in obtaining federal grants for any type of research, from basic to applied — a nice secondary perk of participation in I-Corps. </div><div><br></div><div>Although the deadline is Friday, we’ll accept applications on Monday (and potentially later if the faculty contacts me asking for an extension). There is an expectation that teams will have an industry mentor, but we can help with that if the team needs it. </div><div><br></div><div>Information on the application follows.</div><div><br></div><div>—> Stanley</div><div>______________</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">This is a reminder that the deadline to apply for <b>Fall 2021 CSU I-Corps </b>is next <u>Friday, September 3, 2021</u>. </span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;font-size:12pt">CSUPERB is excited to offer a hybrid workshop with two
