SPARC is a research council funded initiative created to attract more academic researchers into the field of ageing research through pump-priming their research and offering other support. Whilst covering a wide range of engineering and biological research topics, design and especially inclusive design figure strongly. SPARC has provided award holders and their teams with funding, mentoring, editorial assistance, platforms for dissemination both nationally and internationally and access to many other opportunities for fast-tracking their development. In addition it has run research workshops for a wide range of audiences across the UK and abroad. As a result it has engaged with many different stakeholders. Further, it has actively and successfully lobbied policy makers and decision takers on the value of ageing-related research, not least inclusive design, older people, society and the public purse. As a result, SPARC enjoys strong support from, for example, government ministers, professionals and older people.
