##  Research Resources

PhD students at Stern have access to a wide variety of research resources across the school and University.

**Computing and Data Resources**
PhD students are equipped with state-of-the-art computing and data resources. Each student receives a one-time hardware stipend to purchase a computer or laptop of their choice, personal workstation in the department, and necessary computing and statistical software upon request. Stern’s high-end servers facilitate large volume data processing and analysis, and Stern's Center for Research Computing supports PhD students with advanced computing needs, and provides access to a number of syndicated datasets.

**Behavioral Lab**
Stern’s Center for Behavioral Research provides access to a Behavioral Lab including over 25 computer work stations, and a variety of break-out rooms for conducting research on individuals and groups. In addition, the Behavioral Lab offers services related to all aspects of carrying out behavioral research, including assistance with participant recruitment, study design, implementation, and human subjects approval.

**Bobst Library**
Additionally, the NYU Bobst Library’s Business Center houses a general and international business reference collection that includes material on US and international business, investment services, periodical indexes and numerous electronic services that keep the literature at the students’ fingertips. More than 70 business and social sciences databases, such as ABI-Inform, Dow Jones, Ebsco, Econ Lit, Global Access, Lexis-Nexis, The Wall Street Journal, Stat-USA and EIU Viewswire are available through the Web-based Virtual Business Library. Other Business Center resources include Datastream and Bloomberg terminals and depository collections of both US government and UN documents containing a wealth of business information.

**Research Centers and Institutes**
Stern’s research centers and research institutes also enhance students’ academic experience through hosting frequent conferences that attract international scholars and practitioners, providing research grants, fostering collaboration with other schools at NYU, and providing access to unique data.

**Funding**
Students receive necessary funding for data collection expenses by submitting a formal research funding proposal that is reviewed by the Doctoral Program Office.
