Subject: Yale x Gorilla Grant Scheme
Hi Liz,

I was wondering if you would be able to please send the below (and attached flyer) to the WTI graduate students and postdocs (trainees list)?  Thank you!


We’d like to highlight a new resource available to all members of the department: Gorilla Experiment Builder.

Gorilla and Yale have partnered to run an internal grant scheme to support behavioral science research through access to the Gorilla platform. The initiative aims to empower students and researchers to explore real-world applications of technology, enhance digital skills, and drive research impact. Selected winners will receive a Researcher Standard Subscription $1510, AI Add-On worth $670, $300 cash, and a Private Gorilla Support Session $170 enabling them to leverage industry-grade tools to accelerate learning, experimentation, and research. The money must be used to support research. The cash prize is a great opportunity to purchase more Gorilla tokens or participant credits to support research.

The grant is open to Yale PhD students, postdocs, and all researchers and lecturers affiliated with the university. They also encourage “for teaching” applications from researchers who want to offer access to their undergraduate students.

Applications for the Yale x Gorilla Grant Scheme are open and the deadline to apply is Monday, March 2nd. The research proposal is short (500 words). Enter your email address here: https://www.gorilla.sc/grants/yale to receive an email link to the application form.

A grant support webinar is also being offered TOMORROW:

Gorilla Grant Support Webinar
Tuesday, February 10, 2026 09:00 AM in Eastern Time

In this live webinar, Gorilla expert, Jack, will walk you through the grant application process. We’ll cover what we’re looking for, what makes a standout application and how students can use Gorilla's tools to support their research. There will also be a live Q+A at the end.

Register for the webinar here:

What is Gorilla?
Gorilla is a platform for building and running behavioral science experiments online. It provides researchers with tools to create:

  *   Surveys

  *   Cognitive reaction-time tasks

  *   Gamified tasks

  *   Shopping simulations

  *   Multiplayer studies

  *   and more - all within a single interface, without the need for coding.

Why Researchers Use Gorilla

  *   Flexible designs: from classic paradigms (e.g. Stroop, Flanker) to complex multi-task experiments.

  *   Fast data collection: some projects reach hundreds of responses within hours.

  *   Broader samples: recruit participants across the UK and internationally.

  *   Ease of access: participants can take part on their own devices, at home.
