The Stimulating Peripheral Activity to Relieve Conditions, or SPARC, program employs an active program management strategy using primarily Other Transactions (OTs), which are not a contract, grant or cooperative agreement.

Additional information regarding SPARC OT funding opportunity announcement  (FOA) application, review, and post-award management is available on the SPARC Other Transactions - General Information page and the SPARC Material Sharing Policy page.
