- What are the key factors regarding public trust on autonomous systems?
- How will the use of generative AI to create ‘deepfakes’ that manipulate people’s likeness (face, body, voice) evolve? What is the psychological impact of being deepfaked, and what harmful uses (e.g. intimate image abuse, fraud, reputational damage) will develop and increase?
- What are the influences on young people’s decision making at key education transition points, including subject and qualification choice at key stage 4 and 5? How do these choices influence their later economic outcomes?
- How is trait dominance related to the Big 5 personality dimensions?
- What is the prevalence of different pedagogical approaches in different early years settings, including maintained nurseries and nursery provision in primary schools? How does this vary across the workforce? Which of these approaches have the greatest impact on development?
- A Scoping Review Protocol to Identify Strategies to Recruit Underserved Populations to Clinical Trials
- How can we better quantify and measure the benefits of social work assessment, training and development in terms of child outcomes such as wellbeing and educational achievement?

- Which harmful online uses of AI are likely to increase? What could be the impact of AI-generated content on attitudes, beliefs, behaviours or psychological wellbeing?
- What teaching approaches are most effective in helping pupils to pay attention, grasp new ideas, develop skill (such as writing), retain knowledge, transfer knowledge, and be motivated to learn? Why are these approaches most effective? Applied research might include, for example: how various forms of retrieval practice can help pupils retain knowledge for longer periods, or how teacher instruction, teacher questioning, and in-class reading can be used to enhance understanding, and how these effects vary across different phases or subjects.
- What can cognitive science and neuroscientific developments tell us about effective teaching approaches?
- What does evidence from the natural and cognitive sciences suggest about how schools might influence pupil motivation, behaviour, and learning? How can this be translated into teaching practices that reliably improve pupil attainment?
