Project Summary This project will organize and host a two-day meeting for the NIH Stimulating Peripheral Activity to Relieve Conditions (SPARC) Phase 2 program from March 12-13, 2025. The meeting will bring together approximately 100 scientists who are working on active programs funded by SPARC to 1) present recent findings and 2) forge new collaborations between each other to develop future translational goals for their projects. The meeting agenda will begin on day 1 with research presentations from SPARC Phase 2 project teams to showcase their latest activities and discoveries. This will be followed by a series of workshops that enable different teams to form collaborations. Day 1 will also include a research poster session that is open to all attendees and end with research demonstrations. Day 2 will open with presentations from NIH officials about programs that are aligned with the future work of current SPARC investigators. Trainee travel award winners will also present their work. Day 2 will also feature rotating roundtable discussions on key issues suggested by SPARC investigators and report-outs to SPARC program officers.
