Yale research saves lives, bolsters national interests, and strengthens the economy.

In countless communities across America, it serves infants born with heart defects, prevents and slows the debilitating effects of Alzheimer’s disease, improves the quality of life as we age, addresses mental health, and extends the lives of those facing cancer.

Research leads to discoveries that become innovations, which shape economies and lead to jobs.

Yale scholars examine the world we live in and produce data-driven, evidence-based solutions for serious and urgent challenges. They also explore and contribute to the world of culture, seek out new perspectives, and deepen our understanding of the human experience.

Yale serves the nation. The world. Humanity.
