on thephase of the innovation process under consideration. For example, if we are studying anentrepreneurial team engaged in concept generation, then the same metrics can be used as with adesign team engaged in the same phase of the process; if the entrepreneurial team is focused onbusiness model development, however, then the outcome metrics will need to be chosenaccordingly. One aim of this study is to gather evidence to support this claim, so we can expandour investigation of I-Corps™ teams to a large scale effort.3.0 Research Methods3.1 Research Context and Research AimsThe primary objective of the NSF I-Corps™ program is to help university-based researchersdiscover markets for their technologies and determine whether they are ready to
