Spark & Sprint begins with an in-person event on Wednesday, January 6, 2027, from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET in the Lee T. Todd Jr. Building. We’ll kick things off with coffee and donuts at 8:30 a.m., dive into interactive grant development activities and collaborative planning time and wrap up with lunch provided.
Interested in collaborating? Save the date! Collaborators will be identified and invited throughout the preparation stage. Sparker ideas will be available to review before the retreat, and collaborators can join a project after the lightning round.
