D-Lab provides services, support, and a venue for cutting-edge research design and experimentation in data-intensive social science. D-Lab provides resources for in-depth consulting and advising, access to staff support, and training and provisioning for software and other infrastructure needs.

At the core of D-Lab are its scientific and technical staff members, who provide training and consulting, support our data resources and restricted data services, and advise on technical questions and research design. The Lab’s goal is to provide a 21st-century research infrastructure for the campus that will dramatically expand Berkeley’s capabilities in project design; acquisition, access, and enhancement; linking and extending; analysis; visualization; and curation and stewardship.
