Supporting Progress and Research Knowledge (SPARK) is a collection of workshops, trainings, and webinars designed to equip UMass Lowell researchers with the intel, strategies, tools, and resources they need to succeed in today’s competitive funding landscape. Built around the principles of research development (RD), these learning opportunities provide researchers with practical knowledge and hands-on guidance to move ideas forward from concept to competitive proposal.
Opportunities vary in topic and format, and the schedule is typically posted a semester in advance. To recommend future topics or volunteer to lead a presentation, please email̀ưRD@uml.edu.
Below are the upcoming SPARK opportunities. Please register for each workshop individually.
