Are researchers eligible for the coronavirus vaccine?
Although current safety procedures for reopening do not require researchers or participants to be vaccinated for coronavirus, you are most likely eligible if you live in Berkeley or Alameda County. Individuals working in Education and Childcare are eligible to receive the vaccine in multiple counties in the Bay Area. You can check your eligibility here. 

What remote studies does Xlab currently support?
Although the Xlab will soon reopen for studies that meet safety standards (see Xlab in the News for more details), Xlab will continue to support both online surveys (e.g., using Qualtrics) and virtual lab studies (e.g., on Zoom). Suggested best practices on how to conduct virtual studies via Zoom are available on our website. Xlab can provide researchers with recruitment and payment services. Researchers interested in conducting an online study should mark "Online Experiment" under "Experiment Type" when filling out the Experiment Request Form on the Xlab website. 

How does the Xlab grant process work?
Graduate student researchers can submit an Xlab grant application here. Note that your proposed research does not need to use the Xlab participant pool to receive an Xlab research grant, but priority will be given to research that uses the Xlab pool. There is no maximum amount for award requests. Once you submit your application, it will be reviewed by two faculty and you'll receive a final decision within about two weeks.
