Such organizations also are referred to as academic institutions.

Such units are typically called: innovation centers, entrepreneurial centers, technology incubators, etc.

Their mission is to provide resources to individuals and teams in the form of space, seed funding, entrepreneurial mentoring, curriculum, or other assets needed to transition technology into the marketplace.

Collaborative proposals from multiple institutions are discouraged.

Exceptions can be made, with the approval of the NSF I-Corps Management Team, for institutions that have collaborative entrepreneurial centers already in place.

I-Corps Sites are awarded to single institutions and Sites fund teams from their own institution.

In exceptional cases, a Site may also fund teams from branch campuses or other institutions in the Site's geographical region.

However, a Site must obtain permission from a cognizant program officer before proposing this model.
