The NEST Initiative

The NEST Initiative (National Evaluation of Student Talent) is a research program focused on identifying and nurturing exceptional student abilities through targeted education strategies. It aims to understand how high-performing students learn best and to develop effective interventions that help these students reach their full potential. By analyzing educational practices and student outcomes, NEST seeks to improve personalized learning experiences, inform policy, and support gifted and talented education. Ultimately, it strives to ensure that talented students receive the resources and opportunities necessary to excel academically and contribute meaningfully to society.
