Work with GBRL

Lab Facilities

GBRL provides researchers with leading-edge equipment, upgraded computers, and unique physical space to conduct research studies. 

The BioLab, launched in fall 2022, enables researchers to conduct groundbreaking studies using eye tracking, facial expression analysis (FEA), and galvanic skin response (GSR). The BioLab is also compatible with VR hardware and software that can be integrated into biosensor studies. The BioLab hardware and software was made possible through the generous support of an anonymous Gies donor.

    GBRL provides oversight of scheduling and the day-to-day operations of several dedicated behavioral research lab spaces:

    • 24 Wohlers Hall (31 research stations)
    • 36 Wohlers Hall (52 research stations that can be partitioned into 26 per side)
    • 50 Wohlers Hall (interview rooms, laptop reservations, flex space)
    • The BioLab (with iMotions Biosensor Modules)

    Conducting Research at GBRL

    Gies researchers have access to multiple diverse participant pools for their behavioral study.

    Recruitment and Paid Advertising for Studies

    GBRL will run targeted research study ads for Gies Business Research Panel studies. Paid ads will be placed on platforms such as LinkedIn and will focus on dedicated recruitment for individual studies. GBRL will also provide support for advertising on Gies social media platforms. 

    Workshops and Trainings

    GBRL staff offer workshops and training opportunities to help strengthen and expand the research efforts of all faculty and students, whether they are new or experienced in business research. A set of basic training opportunities has been prepared and can be accessed online at any time. Advanced or customized training can be created or tailored to your research needs.
