The Sponsored Programs and Research Council (SPARC) data system is the central repository of sponsored programs proposal and award data (fiscal year 1976 to the current fiscal year) for the 16 constituent institutions of the University of North Carolina and the UNC General Administration. Sponsored programs are scholarly, professional, and creative activities (e.g., research, instruction, and public service) that University personnel conduct with support from external funding such as grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements. Sponsored programs help fulfill the University's diverse mission and provide important benefits to the state, nation, and world. The SPARC data system is designed to facilitate the exchange of key sponsored programs data within UNC and to make the data easily accessible to the public via summary and customized reports.
