Dear Colleagues,
As of July 1, 2025, SPARC and the Research Advancement team have officially joined to form a new Research Development (RD) Office in the University of Minnesota Research and Innovation Office (UMN RIO).
Our team is excited to build out this new office. While we will continue offering valuable services that support our research community, we will also be enhancing our work to align with the University’s research strategy. The RD Office will develop a new, integrated suite of services that will allow us to better support all of you as we work to grow the University’s research enterprise. We hope you will continue to engage with us in our new home.
As part of this transition, SPARC is sunsetting its current website on SPARC.umn.edu and department email sparc@umn.edu. We ask that you remove any references to SPARC on your websites or other public facing materials.
We have set up a new department email RDO@umn.edu and a service request form where you can request assistance from the RD team.
The (former) SPARC Team
