Est. 2025 Scientific Progress Foundation 501(c)(3) Nonprofit

Advancing science
across human disciplines.

Scientific Progress is an independent foundation incorporated on February 10, 2025, dedicated to conducting and supporting rigorous research across biology, epidemiology, psychology, anthropology, and sociology — and to disseminating that knowledge widely.

Why we exist

Scientific Progress exists to conduct and support research in biology, epidemiology, psychology, anthropology, and sociology — including research on the phenotypic and genetic basis of traits and trait differences.

Alongside that research mission, we are committed to advancing knowledge and disseminating findings to the broader scientific community and the public.

What we support

Our work spans five core scientific disciplines, with an emphasis on empirical research into human traits and their biological and social underpinnings.

Biology Phenotypic and genetic bases of human traits
Epidemiology Population-level patterns of health and traits
Psychology Behavioral and cognitive trait research
Anthropology Human variation across populations and time
Sociology Social dimensions of trait differences
