The National Strategic Planning & Analysis Research Center seeks to align university, industry, and government expertise and resources to maintain and increase economic competitiveness. nSPARC answers specific questions related to economic, workforce, and community development by conducting high-quality scientific research, including but not limited to statistical analysis, place-based analysis, survey design, and computer-assisted focus groups.
Using the latest computer technology, the multidisciplinary staff of the center manages multiple sources of data to transmit information that public and private entities can use to properly allocate resources and identify viable strategic plans. Through science and information management, nSPARC seeks to improve the economic opportunities of all Mississippians, whether they are business owners needing access to skills and technology to remain competitive or everyday citizens looking for steady jobs that pay living wages.
The center's strategies for Mississippi can be adapted to fit other economic contexts throughout the nation and the world. |
