Student Testimonial

Omkar A. Katta, Yale SURF Participant, Summer 2019

“It has been a couple of days since I’ve returned home, and I am already missing my time at Yale University. Thank you all for an incredible summer. The friends I have made, the experiences I have had, and the moments we have shared will be near and dear to my heart. You are a huge part of why this summer has been one of the greatest summers in my life. From writing proposals and manuscripts to giving presentations, I have learned the skills necessary to conduct quality research, and I will carry these skills with me for the rest of my research career. Perhaps more uniquely to this program, you created an environment that mirrored the real world experience of conducting research. From exchanging business cards to networking with strangers, I learned what it means to be a polite and productive citizen of academia. I know that in future iterations of the program, you will continue to deliver the same experience to aspiring researchers like me. Thank you for what you have done.”

Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology

Research opportunities.

There are many opportunities for students to carry out research in the laboratory of a faculty member in MCDB. A broad spectrum of state-of-the-art research activities is performed at Yale in the MCDB department and in related departments including the Yale School Medicine. This research is in molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, cell biology, neurobiology, physiology, computational plant sciences biology, and evolution. All interested students are encouraged to participate in research. Students may work in laboratories for academic credit and/or experience. Financial support may be available in some cases, but students being paid may not receive course credit.

The Yale Undergraduate Research Association (YURA) has just launched a new version of the Research Database (RDB), an integrated, searchable database of the research work of 1400+ Yale professors across 60+ undergraduate fields of study. It is an invaluable resource for undergraduates to find research opportunities at Yale in all disciplines. The RDB can be found at https://yura.yale.edu/database .

The choice of a research laboratory should be made in consultation with faculty members and the director of undergraduate studies. See descriptions of research programs in MCDB.

Research Courses

During the academic year, students with DUS approval may take either of three research courses, MCDB 475a or b, MCDB 485a and 486b or MCDB 495a and 496b. These courses are primarily for students who are culminating their undergraduate experience by doing independent research to fulfill the senior requirement. It is possible for students who wish to do research earlier in their course of study to take MCDB 474 a or b before their senior year, but it does not substitute for other course requirements. There is a limit of three terms of 475 that can count towards the major (MCDB 485a, 486b counts as 2 terms of MCDB 475a or b in this calculation). Alternatively, a maximum of one term of 475 a or b plus the two-term MCDB 495a, 496b during the senior year can count towards the major. For research courses, hours are typically arranged at the mutual convenience of the student and the faculty advisor. Please note that taking MCDB 474 or MCDB 475 at any time does not satisfy the lab requirement or the elective requirement for a course from MCDB at 350 or above.

Approval from the Yale College Committee on Honors and Academic Standing is required if certain limits are exceeded. A student must petition the committee for permission to enroll in more than one such course credit in any one term before the senior year or in more than two such course credits in any one term during the senior year. Permission is also required for a student to enroll in more than three such course credits in the first six terms of enrollment. In the petition the student must give sound academic reasons for exceeding these limits.

Students taking MCDB 475a or b are expected to spend at least ten hours per week in the laboratory of a faculty member. This course can be taken more than once. Students must reapply each semester to be enrolled, and at the completion of each term, a paper must be submitted to their professor. This course fulfills the senior requirement if one semester is taken in the senior year.

MCDB 485a, 486b is a year-long research course intended for senior students who wish to do research for the B.S. degree. Students are expected to spend a minimum of ten to twelve hours per week in the laboratory and to attend monthly discussion groups. Research should be conducted under the supervision of the same faculty. At the end of the course a written report on the research accomplished must be submitted before a grade will be given.

MCDB 495a, 496b is intended for senior students who wish to do intensive research for the Intensive B.S. degree. It is a year-long course, two credits each term, in which students are expected to spend at least twenty hours per week in the laboratory. At the end of the course, students prepare a paper describing the research they completed. One grade is given at the end of the second semester.

A recent presentation for MCDB Majors Interested in Undergraduate Research can be viewed below.  A PowerPoint presentation can be viewed here .

Summer Research

Yale students can also perform research with a faculty member during the summer months, which allows students to devote full-time effort to a research project. Summer research enables students to continue research that was initiated during the previous academic year or to begin research that will be continued during the following academic year. Sometimes the faculty member has grant funds that can support students during the summer. Other possibilities for financial support can be found at http://www.yale.edu/yser/fellowships.html . Interested students should consult a member of the Yale faculty or the director of undergraduate studies. Academic credit is not granted unless the student is registered in (and paying tuition to) the Yale summer school.

Summer research at other institutions is possible through several programs. More information can be found at: http://secretary.yale.edu/services-resources/lectureships-fellowships-and-prizes .   Yale does not award academic credit for research done at other institutions, even if done in the context of a course.

Undergraduate Study

• Disciplines
• Student Activities

Undergraduate Research

• First Destinations

Engineering students are often eager to start research projects. Our favorable student-to-faculty ratio allows each student to work directly with a faculty mentor to identify research opportunities geared to their interests. All students must complete a Senior Project that may include research that prepares them for graduate study in Engineering, either at Yale or other top-rated universities.

Department or Program-sponsored social events also provide another opportunity for incoming engineering students to meet engineering majors and learn about traditional research opportunities as well as the activities of student engineering organizations. This exposure is the gateway to research activity, typically begun the summer after freshman year. For the motivated and well-prepared students, student engineering organizations and summer research fellowships provide great opportunities for getting hands-on experience in research and development.

America, China, and Eurasia Program

China’s ascendance to great power status is the defining feature of the twenty-first century, while Putin’s Russia remains deeply disruptive to the U.S.-led liberal world order. As the United States turns inward to contain and mitigate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, China and Russia are seeking to fill that leadership void in Asia, Europe, and on the world stage.

The 2018 U.S. National Defense Strategy for the first time identified the “re-emergence of long-term, strategic competition,” and “not terrorism,” as the primary American national security concern—a position that the Biden Administration has maintained. Deciphering Russian goals vis-à-vis Eurasia, as well as Chinese intentions with regards to the Indo-Pacific region, can help prevent intense geopolitical competition from inadvertently escalating into conflict. This new ISS project combines the study of history with current policy analysis.

ISS affiliated practitioners include Amb. Susan Thornton , Senior Fellow at the Paul Tsai China Center, Yale Law School. A retired senior diplomat with nearly three decades of experience, Amb. Thornton is the former acting U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, where she was responsible for stabilizing relations with Taiwan and the U.S.-China Cyber Agreement, among other critical assignments.

The Kissinger Archives at Yale University consist of approximately one million documents and objects covering Dr. Kissinger’s extraordinary life as a diplomat, scholar, teacher, and private citizen.

The Kissinger papers at Yale serve as a foundation for the Johnson Center. As a program of Yale’s Jackson School of Global Affairs, in collaboration with International Security Studies and the Brady-Johnson Program in Grand Strategy, the Johnson Center encourages research and teaching on United States foreign policy by drawing on the Kissinger papers as well as other important Yale library collections in this field.

Kissinger Visiting Scholars who are researching and writing about the history of American diplomacy.

The center hosts an annual conference and other events that convene practitioners and scholars from around the world to discuss contemporary issues in international affairs.

Maritime and Naval Studies Program

Maritime trade underpins the world economy, rising sea levels threaten coastal communities, and American naval hegemony is no longer assured. The ISS Maritime and Naval Studies Project convenes leading academics and practitioners to analyze lessons from naval history and the precarious state of maritime affairs today.

Under the leadership of Professor Paul Kennedy , ISS has hosted a series of speakers and events aimed at promoting the study of the sea at Yale, including a major international conference in 2018 on “Navies in Multipolar Worlds” and a Naval History Conference in spring 2022.

In addition, ISS has a close partnership with Admiral James Stavridis, former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO and Dean of the Fletcher School at Tufts University.

Nuclear Security Program

Nuclear weapons are once again at the top of the scholarly and policy agenda after being on the sidelines of discourse for decades. Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine and Putin’s brinkmanship have reignited concerns over nuclear war. Prospects for arms control agreements between the United States, Russia, and China appear dim, with the termination of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty and China’s nuclear buildup. Efforts to curb Iran’s nuclear program face important challenges, and North Korea continues to develop its nuclear arsenal.

To better understand and address these increasingly complex and challenging realities, ISS launched the Nuclear Security Program (NSP), led by Associate Professor of Political Science Alexandre Debs .

Schmidt Program on Artificial Intelligence, Emerging Technologies, and National Power

The Schmidt Program fosters research and teaching that span the disciplines of computer science, data science, economics, engineering, history, international relations, law, philosophy, physics, and political science. It serves as a hub for scholars and practitioners working across disciplines on the technological and strategic transformations that are reshaping our world.

Cyberspace is now the backbone of global commerce, communication, and defense systems, and a key aspect of the critical infrastructure that powers modern civilization. Technologies and information spread nearly instantaneously, while the world economy and supply chains are integrated to a degree unprecedented in history.

Yet despite the immense benefits that have resulted from global connectivity, significant vulnerabilities persist, and threats are on the rise. Competition over strategic technologies and contests for advantage in the “information space” are growing, so far without standard international rules of the road. Moreover, the future likely will prove even more transformative due to advances in artificial intelligence (AI). Machines capable of sophisticated information processing, towards the frontier of autonomy, pose tremendous opportunities for economic growth and societal well-being. But the potential threats also are extraordinary: autonomous weaponry, AI-augmented cyberwarfare, sophisticated disinformation campaigns, and geopolitical instability as nations race to deploy these unpredictable technologies. The Schmidt Program examines how AI has the potential to alter the fundamental building blocks of world order.  

Program in Physics, Engineering, and Biology (PEB)

Physical & engineering biology summer undergraduate research program.

Program Overview

Our Physical & Engineering Biology Summer Undergraduate Research Program enables undergraduates interested in pursuing a career in the sciences to conduct interdisciplinary research at Yale for a 10-week period during the summer. Our program focuses on research at the intersection of biology, physics, and engineering and serves as a glimpse of what graduate school at a large research institutions is like. 

The program features a series of workshops, which combine group exercises with short periods of lecturing and discussions, to complement the research experience participants obtain in individual laboratories. The workshops help students develop strong communication skills, briefly explore scientific ethics, and help participants learn about the graduate application process and the difference between a PhD and an MD/PhD. Participants are provided with the opportunity to present their research to the Yale community, both as an oral and as a poster presentation. Finally, there are several opportunities for students to interact with graduate students and postdocs at Yale. We have some social activities in place for students to help them enjoy the weekends and integrate into Yale’s campus and New Haven easily; however, this is not the focus of our program. Instead, we do provide participants with information on nearby recreational areas and points of interest.

This program is closely linked with  Yale’s Integrated Graduate Program in Physical and Engineering Biology (PEB) , and as such, hosts students in the laboratories of PEB affiliated faculty. You can find a list of affiliated faculty here .

Details of the research program

• The program for 2024 will run Tuesday, May 28 - Friday, Aug 2.
• The program provides financial support of $7,000 for the 10-week period. In addition, it will cover travel expenses up to $600 and provide a food allowance and free room and board on Yale’s campus.
• Students will be involved in a variety of enrichment/professional development activities. These include a series of workshops covering laboratory procedures, documenting laboratory results, delivering compelling presentations, and discussing scientific ethics and the process of applying to graduate school, career development meetings and seminars.
• Students will be able to showcase their research through a power point presentation halfway through, and a poster session towards the end, as part of an undergraduate research symposium.
• Research will be balanced with some social activities, such as a welcoming picnic and a visit to Yale’s Outdoor Education Center. Some social activities will be held in conjunction with other summer undergaduate research programs at Yale.

Students may work in laboratories for academic credit and/or experience. Financial support may be available in some cases, but students being paid may not receive course credit. The choice of a research laboratory should be made in consultation with faculty members and the director of undergraduate studies. 

Research Courses

During the academic year, students with DUS approval may take either of three research courses, EEB 495 and 496. These courses are primarily for students who are culminating their undergraduate experience by doing independent research to fulfill the senior requirement. It is possible for students who wish to do research earlier in their course of study to take EEB 475/476 before their senior year, but it does not substitute for other course requirements. EEB 475/476 counts towards the 36 credits required for the Yale College degree; but other than meeting the senior requirement, EEB 475/476, and all the research courses, do NOT contribute to satisfying the requirements for the major. For research courses, hours and typically arranged at the mutual convenience of the student and the faculty advisor.

Please note that taking EEB 475 at any time does not satisfy the lab requirement or the elective requirement for a course from EEB at 350 or above. Approval from the Yale College Committee on Honors and Academic Standing is required if certain limits are exceeded. A student must petition the committee for permission to enroll in more than one such course credit in any one term before the senior year or in more than two such course credits in any one term during the senior year. Permission is also required for a student to enroll in more than three such course credits in the first six terms of enrollment. In the petition the student must give sound academic reasons for exceeding these limits. Students taking EEB 475/476 are expected to spend at least 10 hours per week in the laboratory of a faculty member. This course can be taken more than once. Students must reapply each semester to be enrolled, and at the completion of each term, a paper must be submitted to their professor. This course fulfills the senior requirement if 2 semesters are taken in the senior year.  Students are expected to spend a minimum of 10-12 hours per week in the laboratory and to attend monthly discussion groups. Research should be conducted under the supervision of the same faculty. At the end of the course a written report on the research accomplished must be submitted before a grade will be given. EEB 495/496 is intended for senior students who wish to do intensive research for the B.S. Intensive degree. It is a year-long course, two credits each term, in which students are expected to spend at least 20 hours per week in the laboratory. At the end of the course, students prepare a paper describing the research they completed. One grade is given at the end of the second semester.

Summer Research

Yale students can also perform research with a faculty member during the summer months, which allows students to devote full-time effort to a research project. Summer research enables students to continue research that was initiated during the previous academic year or to begin research that will be continued during the following academic year. Sometimes the faculty member has grant funds that can support students during the summer. Other possibilities for financial support can be found at  http://science.yalecollege.yale.edu/fellowships-grants . Interested students should consult a member of the Yale faculty or the director of undergraduate studies. Academic credit is not granted unless the student is registered in (and paying tuition to) the Yale summer school. Summer research at other institutions is possible through several programs. More information can be found at:  http://yalecollege.yale.edu/content/funding-opportunities . Yale does not award academic credit for research done at other institutions, even if done in the context of a course.

Research Programs

The Cowles Foundation provides support for research and research related activities through seven core Research Program Areas: Algorithms, Data, and Market Design ;  Econometrics ;  Economic Theory ;  Industrial Organization ;  International Trade ;  Labor and Public Economics ; and Macroeconomics . Each of these broad areas has deep ties to the Cowles tradition and provides a foundation for other fields of inquiry in economics and related fields.

Cowles Program Areas sponsor visiting faculty and post-docs, organize conferences, and provide other research resources at Yale.

Science & Quantitative Reasoning Education

Yale undergraduate research, stars summer research program.

The STARS Summer Research Program provides summer term support for undergraduate students who live on campus and participate in laboratory research with Yale faculty members. Students selected for the program work as full-time research assistants who support the research of their mentor and/or faculty advisor.  In addition, enrollment in SCIE 101,  Scientific Research: Process and Presentation, and active participation in weekly journal club sessions are required. These sessions provide STARS scholars the opportunity to discuss their individual lab journals as well as other journal article samples selected for the program. At the conclusion of the summer program, each student will submit his or her research results in a written publishable format and will conduct a formal presentation of their research at a public symposium.

Between coursework and research, the STARS Summer program will do much to establish the analytical and research skills necessary for academic and professional success. Each summer scholar works with their mentor who will supervise the scholar in substantive laboratory research and expose the scholar to academic life in their specific field.  Mentors and summer scholars are encouraged to meet regularly to assess the progress made as well as to discuss other issues such as academic and career development.

Summer scholars must live on campus in one of the residential colleges. The purpose of this arrangement is to foster an exciting and challenging academic environment where summer scholars may come together as a community to exchange ideas and information. The program includes evening activities and occasional weekend trips.

STARS summer scholars are awarded a total stipend of $2,500. The program also covers participants’ room and board, as well as the course tuition.  Students are not allowed to enroll in any other courses or be employed if they are participating in the STARS Summer program.   

Eligibility

In order to be eligible for t he STARS Summer Research Program , Yale College students must be enrolled (that is, not withdrawn) both at the time of submitting the fellowship application and at the time of receiving an award. Yale College students who are on a leave of absence are eligible to apply.          

STARS Summer Fellow Responsibilities

• All STARS Summer scholars must live on the Yale campus for the duration of the nine week program. 
• Work with a mentor in designing a mutually beneficially research project that will further develop the summer fellow’s research and analytical skills;
• Write a 6-10 page paper on his/her research project to be presented at the end of the program.  This paper/presentation will be evaluated by the mentor and course instructor.
• Present the findings of research projects before all their peers, mentors, and invited guests from the larger Yale community at the STARS Summer Research Program Symposia at the conclusion of the program;
• Attend and participate in a weekly discussion regarding scientific issues. Some reading and preparation is required;

Yale Research Team Awarded $4 Million Grant to Evaluate New Immunizations for Infant RSV

A multidisciplinary team of Yale scientists has received a $4 million federal grant to study the effectiveness of a new vaccine and monoclonal antibody shot designed to prevent respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in infants.

The five-year grant from the National Institutes of Health will allow the researchers to investigate the interventions’:

• overall effectiveness
• durability in providing immunity
• effectiveness against different virus lineages
• effectiveness across age groups

Globally, RSV is second only to malaria as the leading cause of infant death. It is estimated that over 100,000 children under 5 die from RSV annually, half of them infants less than 6 months of age. In the United States, RSV is associated with 1.5 million annual medical encounters in children less than 5 years old and is the leading cause of hospitalization among infants under 1 year. It is the most common form of bronchitis and pneumonia among infants.

After years of trials and study, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention approved the use of two new tools to help protect infants from RSV in 2023. Nirsevimab , a long-acting monoclonal antibody, is the first drug of its kind to be used as part of a routine immunization program for infants. Abrysvo is the first vaccine to be specifically labeled for use in pregnant women to protect their infants from RSV disease

“The … introduction of new immunoprophylactic agents offers unique opportunities to confront the challenge of RSV in infants,” the researchers said in their project summary. “As is the case with any new vaccine, it will be important to conduct studies during the early phases of implementing these new immunization strategies to answer many unanswered questions surrounding their risks and benefits in real-world settings.”

Data collected in the study will inform health officials and policymakers on the optimal use of the new RSV preventative strategies and will help build public confidence in the immunization program, the researchers said.

The research team includes specialists in a variety of disciplines — vaccinology, clinical epidemiology, pediatric infectious diseases, viral genomics, bioinformatics, and translational immunology. A distinct feature of the project is that it will utilize a “vaccinomics” framework to study interactions between the virus, the vaccines, and the mother/child immune system. The researchers believe this approach will generate novel mechanistic data that will advance our understanding of the various factors that may contribute to diminished or maladaptive vaccine responses.

Carlos R. Oliveira, MD, PhD , an attending physician and specialist in pediatric infectious diseases at Yale New Haven’s Children Hospital, is principal investigator. Oliveira is an assistant professor of pediatrics (infectious diseases and global health), of biostatistics (health informatics), and of biomedical informatics & data science at both Yale School of Medicine (YSM) and the Yale School of Public Health (YSPH).

YSPH co-investigators on the project are Professor of Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases Linda Niccolai, PhD , Associate Professor of Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases Nathan Grubaugh, PhD, and Associate Professor of Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases Daniel Weinberger, PhD . Eugene Shapiro, MD , professor of pediatrics, of epidemiology, and of investigative medicine at both YSM and YSPH, is also a co-investigator along with Paul Aronson, MD , associate professor of pediatrics (emergency medicine), and Carrie Lucas, PhD , associate professor of immunobiology, both of YSM.

With the NIH funding, the research team plans to conduct a large-scale case-controlled study using data collected from an estimated 3,750 children one year of age or younger who receive care for acute respiratory illness at inpatient and outpatient clinical sites of the Yale New Haven Health System, the largest and most comprehensive health care system in Connecticut.

Data will be collected from multiple sources including health records, interviews, immunization registries, and population surveys. Investigators will also conduct genetic characterization of all RSV viruses identified in the study, monitor the genetic diversity of the virus over time, and quantify the relative effectiveness of the immunizations against various viral lineages.

Yale student awarded grant to pursue community-centered project.

Nishah Jaferi

A Yale College junior was awarded a 2024 Davis Projects for Peace grant, which provides funding for innovative, community-centered projects that address the world’s most critical issues.

Nishah Jaferi was among 129 awardees from 94 partner institutions to receive funding to pursue a project, typically between June and September in the award year. Projects focus on issues related to health and well-being, the quality of and access to education, youth development, environmental issues, and protecting human rights.

Projects for Peace was founded in 2007 by Kathryn W. Davis, who celebrated her 100th birthday by supporting 100 Projects for Peace, designed “to bring about a mindset of preparing for peace, instead of preparing for war.” The grant is administered by Middlebury College in Vermont.

Jaferi, of Saybrook College, is a pre-med student studying molecular, cellular, and developmental biology. She will use the Davis Projects for Peace grant to implement her program, Nisa Project, a women’s health literacy program designed to support refugee, asylum seeking, and undocumented women in their health and resettlement journeys. Her program features a series of culturally competent and trauma-informed wellness courses addressing topics in women’s health, self-advocacy, and equity. Through her project, Jaferi aims to improve access to essential health knowledge and services, fostering agency, autonomy, and support for newcomer women. 

Jaferi is passionate about cancer immunology, women’s health equity, and community building in migrant communities. In 2020, she founded Hello Hygienics, an initiative to provide critical personal protective equipment and health resources to underserved communities across South Florida during the COVID-19 pandemic. At Yale, Jaferi is a STARS II Scholar conducting research on topics in basic cancer research, survivorship, and intimate partner violence at Yale School of Medicine. She has also held positions as director of the Yale Women’s Leadership Conference and as a health-policy intern for Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services (IRIS), in New Haven, and serves on various community advisory boards promoting women’s health in Connecticut.

The Budget Lab at Yale Launches to Provide Novel Analysis for Federal Policy Proposals

The  Budget Lab at Yale , a nonpartisan policy research center, launched on April 12 to provide in-depth analysis for federal policy proposals impacting the American economy. For too long, according to the center’s founders, policy analysis has been narrowly focused on short-term cost estimates, or traditional budget scores, according to the center’s founders. The Budget Lab aims to fill a critical gap in policy evaluation, particularly focusing on the long-term effects of proposed policies on the economy, the income distribution, and recipients. The Budget Lab’s initial analysis , released today, examines both the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (TCJA) and the Child Tax Credit (CTC) through this broader lens.  

The Budget Lab is co-founded by leading economic advisors and academics whose goal is to bring fresh ideas and new methods to policy making. 

• Natasha Sarin, Co-founder and President, is a Professor of Law at Yale Law School with a secondary appointment at the Yale School of Management in the Finance Department. She served as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Economic Policy and later as a Counselor to the U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. 
• Danny Yagan, Co-founder and Chief Economist, is an Associate Professor of Economics at UC Berkeley and a Research Associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research. He was the Chief Economist of the White House Office of Management and Budget.
• Martha Gimbel, Co-founder and Executive Director, is a former Senior Advisor at the White House Council of Economic Advisers, Senior Policy Advisor to the U.S Secretary of Labor, and Senior Economist and Research Director at Congress’s Joint Economic Committee. 

“For many of the greatest policy challenges of our time — investing in children, combating climate change — their most important impact is not on short-run GDP. We need to understand the effects on poverty, on emissions reduction, on the income distribution,” said Sarin. “We are excited to share the tools we have built to analyze the fiscal and social impacts of government policies so policymakers can make better choices.”

The Budget Lab’s work will look at issues not included in current budget policy assessment methods, particularly in evaluating the full scope of costs and returns related to policies including the child tax credit, tax cuts, paid family leave, deficit reduction, and universal pre-K. The Lab’s innovative approach bridges this gap by offering a combination of existing open-source models and our microsimulation tax model to provide fast, transparent, and innovative estimates that unlock deeper insights.

“Our approach implements a new lens to improve existing conventions for distributional impacts by showing how policies affect families over time,” added Yagan. 

One key aspect of the Budget Lab’s commitment to transparency is its open-access model code. The code used to produce analysis is publicly available, fostering trust and allowing policymakers to understand how the Budget Lab arrives at its results. It also allows for the infrastructure of the budget model the team is developing to be leveraged by others interested in similar analysis. 

“Our aim is to provide rapid responses to important policy questions with the ability to think not only about the costs of policies but also about benefits and the return on investments,” said Martha Gimbel.  “Our tax microsimulation model, budget estimates, and interactives will paint a broader and more realistic picture of how Americans will benefit from proposed government initiatives.”  

The Budget Lab is hosting a launch event at the National Press Club on April 12 where the leadership team will share new research on budget scoring for TCJA and CTC. The event will include remarks by Shalanda Young, Director of the Office of Management and Budget and a panel discussion with Joshua Bolten, former Director of the Office of Management and Budget and White House Chief of Staff for President George W. Bush; Doug Holtz-Eakin, former Director of Congressional Budget Office and economic policy advisor to Sen. John McCain; and will be moderated by Greg Ip of The Wall Street Journal .   

Budget Lab Team

In addition to the Budget Lab co-founders, the team includes leading economists who have extensive experience in the public sector. 

Ernie Tedeschi, Director of Economics, was most recently the chief economist at the White House Council of Economic Advisors. Rich Prisinzano, is the Director of Policy Analysis, previously served at the Penn Wharton Budget Model and for over a decade as an economist in the Office of Tax Analysis in the U.S. Department of Treasury. John Ricco, Associate Director of Policy Analysis, is an economic researcher with a decade of experience building microsimulation models to inform public policy debates and was formerly with the Penn Wharton Budget Model and also a research analyst at the International Monetary Fund. Harris Eppsteiner, Associate Director of Policy Analysis, was a Special Assistant to the Chairman and research economist at the White House Council on Economic Advisors.
