Real-World Research for Neuroimmune Psychiatry

Mental health research is hard. Not because the science isn’t there — but because the systems are stacked against you:

• Recruitment stalls when you can’t reach beyond clinic walls.
   
• Retention drops when study demands clash with patients’ daily lives.
   
• Data stays shallow when trauma, symptoms, or social factors go untracked over time.
   
• Regulatory pathways stall without real-world evidence.
   

We’ve lived these frustrations. We know that finding and enrolling participants is often the biggest bottleneck — and that without representative data, even the best-designed study can’t move forward.

That’s where Sparks comes in. We help you:

• Break bottlenecks with recruitment strategies that extend into schools, communities, and underrepresented groups.
   
• Keep participants engaged with designs built around their realities, not just protocols.
   
• Strengthen evidence with longitudinal data that regulators and payers actually care about.
   
• Translate science into care by embedding research in the very systems where mental illness is diagnosed, treated, and lived.
   

At Sparks, our mission is simple: to bridge the gap between discovery and care — so your science doesn’t just publish, it matters in people’s lives.
