Yale Center for Researh Computing logo
Since 1998, at the Yale Center For Research Computing, our mission has been to advance research at Yale by administering a sustainable state-of-the-art computational infrastructure, providing technology services, and facilitating an interdisciplinary approach to the development and application of advanced computing and data processing technology throughout the research community. The Yale Center for Research Computing (YCRC) is a component of the Provost’s Office, reporting jointly to the Deputy Provost for Research, the Deputy Dean for Academic and Scientific Affairs at the Yale School of Medicine, and the Chief Information Officer.


Software Carpentry logo
Since 1998, Software Carpentry has been teaching researchers in science, engineering, medicine, and related disciplines the computing skills they need to get more done in less time and with less pain. Its volunteer instructors have run hundreds of events for thousands of learners in the past two and a half years.


Data Carpentry logo
Data Carpentry develops and teaches workshops on the fundamental data skills needed to conduct research. Its target audience is researchers who have little to no prior computational experience, and its lessons are domain specific, building on learners' existing knowledge to enable them to quickly apply skills learned to their own research.
