The Office of the Vice President for Research is pleased to announce the application period for the 2015-2016 SPARC graduate research grant program. We will accept SPARC grant applications through Wednesday, November 18 at 5:00 p.m.

All graduate students who apply for a SPARC grant must attend an application workshop prior to submitting their proposals. The workshop schedule and registration form are included below. The Office of Research encourages students to register ahead for the session of their choice to assure a speedy sign-in experience, but registration is not required to attend any session. Students who register for a SPARC workshop session, but are later unable to attend, are not required to provide notice that they will not be attending the session as planned.

SPARC grant application materials for 2015-2016, and complete information about the application process, are available on the SPARC program webpage. Please contact Dr. Lauren Clark with any questions about the SPARC program at 803-777-3929 or Lauren.Clark@sc.edu.
