Participants will have a chance to attend the UAS Summit taking place in Grand Forks during the cohort as well as the Bioscience Summit in Fargo. \nThe Regional I-Corps training at the University of North Dakota spans five weeks\, offering a blended approach to assess the market potential of your technology. This program welcomes both researchers and entrepreneurs\, the curriculum explores the commercial potential of deep technology solutions across any industry sector. It prepares researchers to extend their focus beyond the lab and consider the economic and societal impact of their work. \nParticipants in an I-Corps team should allocate roughly 8-10 hours weekly throughout the duration of the five-week VIRTUAL program. Each team should include\, at the very least\, an entrepreneurial lead (EL) and a technical lead (TL). \n \nSession Dates\n \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nOrientation: Tuesday\, September 29\, 6pm – 7:30pm CT\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSession 1: Wednesday\, September 30\, 6pm – 9pm CT\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSession 2: Wednesday\, October 7\, 6pm – 9pm CT\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSession 3: Friday\, October 1\, 6pm – 9pm CT\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSession 4: Wednesday\, October 21\, 6pm – 9pm CT\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSession 5: Wednesday\, October 28\, 6pm – 9pm CT\n\n\n\n \n \nApplication Deadline: Sunday\, September 13\, 2026 \n 								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Click here\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n							\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n									MEET THE INSTRUCTORS								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n					Heidi Bell				\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n									Heidi Bell\, Ph.D.\, is Chair and Associate Professor in the Department of Human Performance Studies\, and Manager of the Human Performance Laboratory at Wichita State University.
