Guide

New to research? Start here.

  1. 1 Pick a topic you're curious about — use the sidebar. Don't overthink it.
  2. 2 Toggle “Beginner-friendly” to narrow to labs that welcome students with no prior research experience.
  3. 3 Open 3–5 cards that look interesting. Click “Lab website” and skim one recent paper.
  4. 4 Use “Draft email” to generate a starting template — then rewrite it in your own voice and mention a specific paper.
  5. 5 Send 3–5 emails per week. Follow up once after 10 days.

Tip: mentioning a specific experiment or result from the lab's recent work is the single best thing you can do. PIs notice immediately.

About

Yale Research Match indexes labs from YURA, the YSM Lab Index, and FAS/SEAS/YSPH department directories. Data is curated for undergrad usability: recruiting status, working style, beginner-friendliness, and direct contact info where available.

Lab info may change — always verify recruiting status directly with the PI before reaching out.
