They probably can't lead the project but they can definitely contribute.

I'm not quite sure what "intelligence" is - some people have strange personalities that make them hard to classify - but you don't need to be exceptionally good at anything to contribute to research (or R&D).

This has been the case all throughout humanity.

For example, I imagine humanity learned a lot things from people of all different intelligences like:

"Is this snake venomous?"

"Are these mushrooms poisonous?"

"Are these animals friendly?"

etc..
