Every scientific breakthrough at Yale begins with an idea and the strategy to make it fundable. Behind each major research success lies a challenge: how to transform a bold vision into a winning proposal in an increasingly competitive funding landscape.
That’s where the Yale Office of Research Development (YRD) comes in.
Established in November 2023, YRD partners with faculty to pursue the university’s most ambitious, high-impact awards — those that can reshape disciplines, build research infrastructure, and accelerate discovery across campus.
This Information Session will provide an overview of Yale’s limited submissions process for federal and non-federal funding opportunities.
