I-Corps@Ohio announces the 2017 Request for Proposals. Applications will be accepted Dec. 12 through Jan. 10.
The selection process consists of two rounds of review by an expert committee. The first round is a simple online executive summary questionnaire that will determine which teams are selected to move to the full proposal round. Applicants will be able to enter registration contact information now, and submissions will be accepted beginning Dec. 12. The deadline to submit an executive summary is Jan. 10.
In 2017, there are two tracks included in the RFP; (1) Medtech and (2) Science & Engineering. Participants will be asked to select which track fits their technology and make their submissions in that area. See the RFP for details on the criteria for each track.
