Unfortunately, the NSF grant that supports our work has been terminated. This is a setback, but our mission has not changed. We will continue to work hard on making cognitive science a more inclusive field. Stay tuned for upcoming events.

It's great to see the SPARK Society growing on this platform. Many are interested in supporting the principles upheld by SPARK but are not members. Consider membership. Membership is for ALL SCIENTISTS who are allied in supporting scholars from diverse backgrounds in Cognitive Psychology.
