SPARK Program

The UMass Center for Clinical and Translational Science (UMCCTS) SPARK (Small Pilot and Research Knowledge) Program provides support for hypothesis-driven clinical and translational research, by providing access to the Clinical Research Center and other UMCCTS cores. The UMCCTS’s priorities are to support studies focused on developing new clinical care and research methodologies to generate preliminary data for external grant submissions, and to support early stage investigators and trainees.
