What's on The Horizon


SPARK Logo

Students Pursuing Action, Research, and Knowledge (SPARK) is a journal club under the Center of Health at Northeastern Illinois University. The primary goal of SPARK is to provide undergraduate and graduate students with hands-on experience in understanding research journals, various types of research papers, fundamental research methodologies, and writing grants. In SPARK, students can present and discuss their research findings, share thoughts, and receive constructive feedback from peers and mentors. This provides a collaborative atmosphere where students can improve their research abilities and knowledge with other students.
