Faculty
and Departmental Research Programs
With
more than 800 science and engineering faculty in over 40 degree-granting
programs, Yale University offers a remarkably diverse array
of research opportunities. In addition to the many opportunities
in Yale College, undergraduates enjoy access to the research
laboratories of faculty in Yale's graduate and professional
degree-granting programs in the Yale School of Medicine and
Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies.
Departmental
Research Programs in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences
Many
Yale science and engineering departments include research
as an integral part of the course of study, and students will
find departmental faculty research programs an invaluable
resource. While students will often pursue research within
the department of their major, either summer or academic year
research may also be conducted in the laboratories of faculty
in other Faculty of Arts and Sciences departments or in departments
of Yale Professional Schools. The links below provide access
to descriptions of research opportunities in departments and
programs of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences
and Professional Schools; either the linked
undergraduate program description or the departmental home
page will normally provide links to faculty research descriptions.

Undergraduate
Research in Yale University Professional Schools
While
Yale University Professional Schools do not offer undergraduate
majors, many undergraduates find appropriate research opportunities
with any of the hundreds of professional school faculty performing
basic scientific research.

Faculty
Research Grants and Support for Undergraduate Research
A
substantial proportion of undergraduate research at Yale University
is supported by faculty research grants. Each year, external
faculty research grants contribute to the support of the research
of more than three hundred Yale undergraduates. Depending
on the nature of the research project and availability of
funds, a faculty mentor may also be able to provide a stipend
from grant funds. Undergraduates and faculty are reminded
that many granting agencies provide supplements specifically
for the support of undergraduate research projects. Instructions
on obtaining supplements may be found on the web sites of
the National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation
(NIH supplements for underrepresented
minorities and students with disabilities;
NSF
REU Supplements).
