SPARK Global

We created a network of like-minded scientists in academia that can be recruited quickly to address global health challenges

SPARK Global - SPARKing Everywhere

The idea of SPARK has already been adopted by 60 academic institutions worldwide and has established the SPARK Global network of like-minded institutions, each adapting the approach to its local environment.

With SPARK Global, we have also created a network of like-minded scientists in academia who can be quickly recruited to address global health challenges as they arise.

SPARK's Partnerships with Academic Institutions

The SPARK model for translational research has proven to be a successful program that can be replicated at other academic institutions as a cost-effective way to facilitate the development of research discoveries into novel therapeutics or diagnostics.

Several academic institutions have successfully developed their own SPARK programs based upon the SPARK at Stanford model.
