The foundation has supported research in cognitive psychology, including its applications to education and rehabilitation, helped establish cognitive neuroscience to link psychology with systems neuroscience, and funded international programs in child health, such as the Task Force on Hepatitis-B Immunization and field studies of how chronic parasitic diseases might affect children’s cognitive development. In 1998, the foundation also collaborated with the MacArthur Foundation in funding the Research Network on Early Experience and Brain Development. The core of scientists in this network are now associated with the Harvard Center on the Developing Child.
