Graphic with a dark teal background featuring the title “Broadening Participation in Cognitive Science” in large white text. Below it, in bright lime green text, the tagline reads: “Supporting diverse voices to build a more inclusive and representative field.” Decorative lime green horizontal lines appear on the left, and curved, parallel lime green lines frame the right side of the image.

Cognitive Science is stronger when more voices are included.
The Broadening Participation initiative funds projects that engage underrepresented communities, bridge disciplines, and create lasting outreach impact.
