Professor Alejandro Lleras, along with a team of researchers from around the country, receives a grant from the NSF to fund the activities of the SPARK society. The SPARK Society’s mission is to establish a society of Cognitive Scientists of color that improves the visibility of its membership and creates mentorship opportunities for junior cognitive psychologists of color. The NSF award will help us fund our panels and mentoring activities at the Annual Meeting of the Psychonomic Society.
