SPARCRequest is a research management system designed for institutions service providers to catalog and track research services, where study teams request and create proposal pricing estimates for research projects and protocols.  SPARCRequest is intended to streamline and remove barriers to study activation and conduct as well as to reduce administrative burden of service centers and core facilities.

SPARCRequest is composed of modules, each module providing specific functionality: 


  • SPARCCatalog - where services and pricing are entered and managed for selection in the SPARCRequest service catalog and where service provider access & securities are granted

  • SPARCRequest - where study teams identify services to support their protocols/projects, create pricing to inform their proposal budget, and submit requests to start services

  • SPARCDashboard - where study teams access, edit, and update previously created protocols/projects.

    • SPARC Admin Edit – accessible through SPARCDashboard;where service providers and administrators receive, access, and manage service requests received from study teams.

  • SPARCFulfillment - where service providers track the non-clinical services performed for protocols/projects as well as the clinical services (per-patient per-visit assessments) by fulfillment date, time and quantity.

  • SPARCReport - where service providers and system administrators can run reports related to service requests and fulfillment performed for managing workload, invoicing or evaluation.

  • SPARCForms - where providers and administrators can create and manage forms and surveys.

  • SPARCAdmin - where site administrators can control application-level configuration.

  • SPARCFunding - (optional) where funding administrators can view existing funding opportunities and its documents submitted as a SPARC service request.

SPARCRequest has been released as open source on Github for other CTSA Hubs and other institutions and entities to adopt at no charge under a generous BSD3 license.  It is an ever growing system; all updates are easily accessible through Github.
