Research Reach LLC matches undergraduates with research labs that need them, starting at Indiana University Bloomington. Students complete one five-minute profile instead of sending cold emails. Faculty tell us once what they look for, and lab details stay private. We screen every student for fit, then make the introduction.
Why we started
Most students who want research hear about it late, and the only way in is a cold email to a professor they have never met. Most of those emails go unanswered.
Labs want students early, because training a new student takes up to two months. Faculty lose hours sorting inboxes full of students who don’t fit what they need.
Getting into a lab should come down to fit. Knowing who to email shouldn’t matter.

What we hold to
- Fit over volume
- We introduce a student only when they meet what the lab told us it looks for. We never forward a stack of applicants.
- Faculty time is precious
- Joining takes one 15-minute call or a five-minute form. Lab details stay private, and every email we send a professor has one ask.
