EXPLANATION OF
SUGGESTION & NOTES

KEEP

What was your role on your I-Corps team?

REMOVE

At the end of your I-Corps Course (fill},which of the following
categories best described your project's area of research or technology?

REMOVE

How confident are you in your categorization of your project's
area of
research or technology in the question above?

REMOVE

With
Salesforce we
have the assigned
role directly from
NSF
Related
to the
confidence about
their
categorization of
their tech cluster,
about 25%
of
participants who
responded to this
question are just
"not at
all,"
"slightly," or
"somehwat"
confident.
At
one point NSF
thought that the
NIN would be a way
for teams with
common
interests or
needs to connect.
We originally set
up a series of
questions as
an
experiment:
Figuring we'd be

THROUGH THE YEARS WE HAVE ASKED VARIOUS QUESTIONS RELATED TO
WHAT TYPES
OF RESOURCES TEAMS CURRENTLY PERCEIVE NEEDING TO WHAT TYPES OF
ADDITIONAL
TRAINING OR SUPPORT HAVE THEY RECEIVED

REMOVE

At the end of your I-Corps Course, which of the following best
described
the status of your project in terms of its commercialization
readiness?

REMOVE

Please describe the status of your project at that time in your
own
words.

REMOVE

collecting data on
those same teams
again in
2 or so
years, we thought
we'd do a simple
pre-post comparison
(with the
hypothesis that
after the NIN
developed teams
would perceive
themselves to be
more connected and
supported). In
2015, there was a
desire to ask some
questions about
what type of
educational support
they were receiving
after
the class
(with the idea that
NSF may create a
new "after I-Corps"
program). We then
added a series of
questions related
to that topic. 
There
is no need to
ask these 2
questions.
Originally, we
intended to only
ask it
for the
2011-early 2012
cohorts as we did
not have that
information
collected
at that
time (i.e., the
"go-no go"
decision).

After the I-Corps course ended, did you continue to be involved
with the
I-Corps project? (If you continued involvement, please describe how
you
were involved in the comment box.)

KEEP

[Comment] After the I-Corps course ended, did you continue to be
involved
with the I-Corps project? (If you continued involvement, please
describe
how you were involved in the comment box.)

KEEP

Who is the most knowledgeable person to contact about the
project right
now? [PI/El/M/Other]

KEEP

Is this project still active?

KEEP

We
have a drop down
(PI, M, EL other).
We don't need the
rest of these
related
questions
anymore. This
question was an
artifact of the
first admnistration
of the I-Corps
longitudinal
survey. We were
concerned that we
would get a low
response rate and
need to reach out
to individuals.
Fundamental
question

Why are you uncertain if this project is still active? Select
any of the
reasons listed below that apply.

KEEP

Why is this project no longer active? Select any of the reasons
listed
below that apply.

After the I-Corps course ended, did you . . .? [Dissolve a

KEEP

To your knowledge, has a company been incorporated based on this
I-Corps
project?

KEEP

Who is the CEO of your company?

KEEP

KEEP

Who is the CEO of your company? If you would like to explain
your answer
further, please use the comment box. [Comment] 

Who is the majority or principal shareholder of the company?

KEEP-NEW

We
ask this
question in Time 2.
It is another way
to deal with the
confusion
that some
teams feel in
answering the CEO
question above.

When was the company incorporated? (mm/dd/yyyy)

KEEP

Which of the following best describes how the business was
started:

KEEP

Changed
this
question to "Which
Since the start of your I-Corps course (date), which form of
legal status KEEP
- AMEND form of legal
status does your
did your business have?
business currently
have?"

Thinking back before you participated in the I-Corps program
(before
{fill), were the business operations being conducted under one of the
other legal forms listed above?

REMOVE

Change
in legal
status can be a
reflection of
readiness to seek
investment.
However,
measuring
the behavior (i.e.,
if a team actually
did seek or receive
private
investment)
is a better metric.
Also, there is some
respondent
confusion
around
these questions. 

Which form of legal status did the business have before your
I-Corps
Course (before {fill)?

KEEP

KEEP

why?

REMOVE

competitors?

This
question was
added as an
interest of a
particular NSF PO.
NSF is  no longer
interested in these
data.

Since your participation in I-Corps (since {Fill}), how many
individuals
or entities owned shares in this business?

KEEP

Of the owner or owners since your participation in I-Corps
(since
{Fill}), how many owners actively helped to run the business?

KEEP

[Full time employees***] Not counting owner(s), how many people
currently
work for the business?

KEEP

[Part time employees] Not counting owner(s), how many people
currently
work for the business?

KEEP

After the I-Corps course ended, did you engage in any licensing
activities?

KEEP

Given
that most
companies on
average, have at
most 1.2 employees
(not counting
owners), this
question seems a
little premature.

If your business has licensing activities, how many employees
work in
areas related to product development or other activity arising from
your
I-Corps participation?
