SPARK
NSERC's SPARK (Students Promoting Awareness of Research Knowledge) program was launched in 1999 at ten universities across Canada. Through SPARK, which is based on the University of Guelph's highly successful program, students with an aptitude for communications are recruited, trained and paid to write stories based on the NSERC-supported research at participating universities.
The NSERC SPARK Program Description and accompanying SPARK Guide provide comprehensive information for universities on how to apply for and manage a SPARK program.
