Make a Gift - Support SPARK
A gift to SPARK will further our mission to educate, inspire, and support students and faculty in translating their research discoveries into diagnostics and therapeutics to improve human health.
Support our Program — Make a Gift
The Stanford SPARK program was established ten years ago, with the goal of advancing new biomedical research discoveries into promising new treatments for patients. Since its founding, SPARK has advanced scores of new diagnostics and drugs to the clinic and commercial sectors and educated hundreds of faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and students on the translational process. The majority of the SPARK projects address the neglected areas of child and maternal health, global health, and orphan diseases.
A gift to SPARK will support our mission to educate, inspire, and support students and faculty in translating their research discoveries into diagnostics and therapeutics to improve human health.
