About SPARC Request
You can now request a LA CaTS service or consultation through our new online SPARC Request System (Services, Pricing, & Application for Research Centers). SPARC is a web-based research management system that provides a central portal (one-stop shop) to researchers and their study teams to browse for research services and resources, as well as submit service and pricing requests with a focus on billing compliance and proposal/budget development. SPARC was developed by the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), a collaborator with the LA CATS Center, and is now being utilized by multiple research institutes across the country.
Why use SPARC?
- Manage your study information and requests in one central location
- Easy-to-use search features
- Request or obtain research pricing for research services across the LA CaTS Center institutions
- Communicate directly with your service providers
