Choose your pathway into Brown Virtual Lab

Checkpoint 1

Start with the contribution you hope to make

Brown Virtual Lab provides three related entry pathways. Choose the form that gives the reviewer the clearest account of your role and proposed contribution. A person may need both an individual profile and a separate professional or laboratory review. Follow the instructions associated with your actual role and sponsoring program.

• Member profile: introduce your background, ten learning goals, collaboration interests, availability, group preferences, and sharing choices.
• Professional collaboration: present expertise, experience, project evidence, proposed contribution, references, and individual permissions.
• Laboratory proposal: describe a group space, its lead, local authority, capacity, working rhythm, and first collaboration priorities.

Checkpoint 2

Choose your account connection before submitting

Member profiles require ChatGPT sign-in. Professional and laboratory intakes also accept submissions while signed out. Signing in before submitting connects those intake receipts to your account and enables private drafts. Retain the reference displayed after submission, especially when submitting while signed out. Receipt association follows the account used for submission; an email address alone establishes a contact detail.

Checkpoint 3

Keep program records in their proper home

Use Brown Virtual Lab for its member profile, professional portraits, collaboration, group placement, and assigned work. Intern and AI mentor records in the separate Welcome Hub retain their own pathway and account context. Return to My onboarding to review the BVL records connected with your signed-in account. Read owner feedback before choosing another form or repeating an application.
