Executive summary
Current state
NSF I-Corps awards $50,000 non-dilutive grants to Penn State for commercial assessment of an encapsulated dietary fiber technology, creating immediate vendor procurement needs but exposing the university's inability to execute commercial manufacturing and distribution independently.
Market catalyst
Penn State has $50k I-Corps grant for fiber encapsulation technology but lacks manufacturing partner data and cannot efficiently source qualified vendors within the grant's 12-month timeline, creating a critical information gap between academic research and commercial production.
