Description
The Seed Pathway to Advance Research Collaboration (SPARC) Grants, offered by New Hampshire EPSCoR under the NH-LIFT initiative, are designed to facilitate early-stage interactions and idea development among faculty at NH-LIFT partner institutions. These grants provide flexible, short-term funding to support events, meetings, or other activities that bring together researchers across institutions, with the goal of building relationships and laying the foundation for future collaborative research proposals. SPARC grants are intended as a precursor to larger Collaboration or Catalyst Seed Fund projects, ultimately aiming to generate competitive proposals for external funding and strengthen New Hampshire’s collaborative research ecosystem.
