Thank you for your interest in the SPARKGlobal. Like you, we strongly believe that academia has an important role to play in the discovery of new therapeutics and diagnostics and in decreasing the time and costs of development. We think the SPARK approach can serve as a general model for other academic institutions.
Institutions interested in forming a new SPARK program may contact one of the Stanford directors (Daria Mochly-Rosen or Kevin Grimes) or a designated regional director, who will discuss the necessary elements for a successful SPARK program and provide the materials, advice and expertise required for start-up. Directors of new SPARK programs are invited to visit Stanford and attend a regular SPARK meeting.
Volunteer industry advisors are vital to the success of SPARKGlobal. Their wealth of knowledge and assistance with projects helps push academic discoveries to the commercial and clinical centers. If interested in volunteering, please contact your regional SPARKGlobal director.
Fiscal gifts provide a major impact on the entire SPARKGlobal program and enables it to expand to countries throughout the globe. If interested supported our translational work, please contact the President of SPARKGlobal.
