There are a number of lessons learned and insights generated by this process of moving from basic research to education. A number of aspects of our research are relevant for basic and applied research, including a focus on research across literacy and resource barriers, research methods, treatment of human participants, the iterative process between basic research and the development of an application for societal welfare, and synergies between research, teaching, and social initiatives. This chapter explores these implications for basic and applied research in the social sciences. The discussion is intended to be illustrative rather than exhaustive.
