Tech Scouting Intake Assessment:
Commercialization Pathway Roadmap

This questionnaire helps the New York NSF I-Corps Hub Tech Scouting team understand the current stage of your technology and identify the most useful next steps for commercialization. Based on your responses, we will build a 12-18 month roadmap with suggested opportunities such as regional translational funding, agency specific SBIR/STTR proposal deadlines, industry partnerships, or additional ecosystem programs. 

 

This form should take less than 10 minutes to complete.

 

Our goal is to develop a deep technology innovator focused commercialization roadmap tailored to your specific technology. You can expect to receive your roadmap within two-three weeks of submitting this form.
