Learn about the SPARC Portal and the SPARC Program
Facilitate enhanced understanding of the peripheral nervous system to support the development of safe and effective bioelectronic therapies by driving collaborative neurosciences and providing online resources for accessing and submitting curated data and models, as well as dynamic knowledge-management and visualization tools.
To ensure that the knowledge and data generated by the NIH SPARC initiative is FAIR, to lay the foundation for sustainable growth of that knowledge beyond SPARC, and to foster a surrounding community.
To meet the Vision and Mission the SPARC Portal has a roadmap of future functionality to provide an open, sustainable online resource and infrastructure for autonomic neurosciences and bioelectronic medicine to the global scientific community, and to foster collaboration.
ZMT's research partner, the IT'IS Foundation, was co-funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health’s SPARC initiative to develop the o2S2PARC platform, which contributed key technologies to the Sim4Life.web

The overall vision of the SPARC Portal is to provide a resource for the global scientific community to explore and leverage the scientific discoveries of the SPARC program (and eventually other related research from the field of autonomic neuroscience/bioelectronic medicine). The SPARC program is designed to generate high quality datasets, simulation models, and technical resources that enable interaction and collaboration around these assets.
