About

Stanford SPARQ is a behavioral science “do tank” at Stanford University. We build research-driven partnerships with industry leaders and changemakers to combat bias, reduce disparities, and drive culture change. We work in criminal justice, economic mobility, education, health, and media.

In 2018, SPARQ launched SPARQtools, a suite of digital toolkits that translate cutting-edge research into instructions and materials that practitioners and educators can use to sparq psychological, behavioral, and societal change.
