Driving Scientific Progress through Strategic Partnership

SPARC provides end-to-end partnership for science and health funders working to accelerate meaningful change in people’s lives. Every partnership is unique, but our work typically includes:

Strategic Funding Guidance

We help shape effective biomedical research strategies 
through rigorous due diligence, building key relationships and synthesizing insights to inform impactful investments.

Program Design & Launch

We design and build customized funding programs from 
the ground up. Our programs are built with an understanding of the evolving needs of the communities and are grounded in SPARC’s scientific focus areas.

Organizational Strategy Development

We work with funders to build strategic and operational roadmaps with actionable insights across governance, leadership, budget, fundraising, and staffing and offer tailored, ongoing support every step of the way.

Building Collaborative Communities

We connect funders with scientists, clinicians, thought leaders, people with lived experience, and critical stakeholders to spark collaboration and drive collective impact.

Monitoring & Evaluation for Impact

We provide independent, data driven evaluation of programs – offering strategic insights and recommendations to refine direction, enhance impact, and maximize long-term outcomes.

Across all of our work, we infuse principles focused on accelerating science that drives meaningful change. These principles include:

  • Community: We intentionally bring together diverse and motivated partners to understand, support, and solve.
  • Rigor: We research thoroughly, following the data to cultivate credibility and set a stage for action.
  • Transformation: We uncover where progress has stalled and unlock potential to make a meaningful difference.
  • Learning: We eagerly seek and share knowledge with open minds and humility.
  • Equity: We pursue a world that is fair, just, and works for everyone.

Across our partnerships, we have lessons learned on how to support various types of science across the ecosystem. Some guides with relevant best practices can be found here:
