SPARK Successes
GOAL: Education
SPARK meetings host an average of 60-80 attendees weekly.
GOAL: Translational Research
Currently, 26 projects have completed two years of SPARK funding and support.
From that group:
- 15 products are in clinical testing or commercially licensed (> 50% development rate)
- 8 new companies have formed
Many researchers have secured substantial outside funding based on SPARK-funded work
