Event Description: 

Participate in a free, month-long I-Corps Regional Course to receive expert guidance as you evaluate the market potential of your deep technology innovation. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of your field and learn valuable professional skills in the process. 

In this conference course (May 11 - June 5), a select group of researchers working on oncology technology will "get out of their comfort zone" and talk to customers at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting to identify the best product-market fit. The course begins online and culminates with a trip to Chicago, IL for the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting. Up to $5,000 (depending on team size) in travel reimbursement funding will be available for accepted teams*.   

You may apply with a team of 1-3 people. Teams may not split attendance between members. Please only include the members of your team that will be fully participating in the course. All team members are required to attend and participate fully in every course session and complete all coursework.
