SPARC's Plans for the Future
The overall vision for the SPARC Portal is to accelerate autonomic neuroscience research and device development by providing access to digital resources that can be shared, cited, visualized, computed, and used for virtual experimentation. The SPARC Portal is freely available to the global scientific community, including biological scientists, computational scientists, medical interests (device manufacturers, etc.), and funders interested in autonomic neuroscience and bioelectronic medicine. A growing collection of resources are available, including datasets, maps, and computational studies focusing on the role of the autonomic nervous system in controlling organ function.

SPARC Roadmap
The overall vision and primary goals of the SPARC Portal are to provide an open, sustainable online resource and infrastructure for autonomic neurosciences and bioelectronic medicine to the global scientific community and to foster collaboration. This broadening of scope represents a natural evolution from the first four years, when the SPARC Portal focused on facilitating the exploration and use of the NIH SPARC Program’s scientific outputs, which include data, computational models, analysis pipelines, maps, standards, knowledge management, methodologies, and tools.
