Research

The BGS Foundation will dedicate approximately 25% of its resources to supporting and conducting research on cognitive and neuro-diversity. This research will be led by experts in educational psychology and neuro-diverse sciences. The goal is to deepen the scientific understanding of the unique strengths, challenges, and needs of cognitively and neuro-diverse individuals. Planned research activities include:

• Funded Studies: The initiative will provide grants to researchers at colleges and universities and research institutions to conduct studies on topics such as:

  • The neurobiological basis of different cognitive and neuro-diverse conditions.

  • Effective educational and interventions.

  • The long-term social and professional outcomes of neuro-diverse individuals.

  • The impact of different educational settings and teaching methodologies.

• Original Research: Prism will also conduct its own in-house research projects, collaborating with academic partners. This may include longitudinal studies, survey-based research, and the development of new assessment tools.

• Publication and Dissemination: Research findings will be published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and shared through conferences, white papers, and public-facing reports to ensure the knowledge is accessible to educators, policymakers, and the general public.
