The '''Research Lab''' houses the research team, headed by Dr. Vahlen.

Options:

*'''Start New Research Project'''.
*'''Change Research Project'''. If necessary, this can be done at any time. The progress achieved in the current project won't be lost.
*'''Access Research Archives'''. Here you can see information about projects that have already been completed.
*'''Review Research Credits'''. View the research credits gained from completed interrogations.
*'''Visit the Gene Lab'''. This option becomes available after the construction of a Genetics Lab. A maximum of three soldiers can be sent to genetic modification. See [[Genetics Lab (Long War)]].

==New in Long War==
While research in Long War works similar to how it works in Vanilla, there are some notable changes:
* New research projects have been added, expanding the research tree.
* The time required to research a project has been increased.
* Autopsies now require and consume more than one corpse. For example, Sectoid Autopsy requires and consumes 10 Sectoid Corpses.
* Autopsies now require other research projects before they can be started. For example, Xenobiology is required to perform Sectoid Autopsy.
* Interrogations now require the autopsy project for the same species. For example, Sectoid Autopsy is required to perform Sectoid Interrogation.
* Most Psi Powers now require specific research projects before they can be learned. For example, Sectoid Interrogation is required to learn Mind Fray.
* Aliens now have various perks. Autopsies are required to inspect aliens of the same species and see their perks. For example, once Sectoid Autopsy has been performed, players can target a Sectoid, and press F1 to inspect them.
* UFOs that have been successfully assaulted can now be analyzed, providing your ships with a damage bonus against these UFOs.
* All Council requests except Satellites now require specific research projects to be completed. For example, council members will not request Sectoid Corpses before Xenobiology has been researched.
* South America's continent bonus no longer makes autopsies and interrogations instantaneous. It instead affects the cost to build and maintain power generators.

==Research Speed==
The duration listed for all research projects is the duration for 30 scientists with no [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]], adjacency bonus or research credits.
* Having less than 30 scientists increases the duration of all research projects. For example, if you have 15 scientists, the actual duration is double that of the listed value.
* Having more than 30 scientists decreases the duration of all research projects. For example, if you have 60 scientists, the actual duration is half that of the listed value.
* Each [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]] additively increases the effectiveness of your scientists by 20%.
* Each adjacency links between [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]], the [[Genetics Lab (Long War)|Genetics Lab]] and the [[Psionic Labs (Long War)|Psionic Labs]] additively increases the effectiveness of your scientists by 10%.
* Interrogations provide research credits, which lower the research time of all research projects and foundry projects that match the credit type by 25%.
* Expertise (Brazil's starting bonus) increases research credit bonuses by 15% (multiplicatively) for a total of 36% research time reduction.
* <b>FORMULA:</b> <i>finalTime = baseTime * (30 / (scientists * labBonus)) * creditBonus * brazilExpertiseBonus</i>, with creditBonus = 0.75, brazilExpertiseBonus = 0.85

==Analysis Projects==
Analysis projects allow players to study aliens and their UFOs. These studies are generally shorter than technology projects, and do not cost any resources, except the corpses required for the autopsy or the captive required for the interrogation. Note that the duration to analyze more powerful aliens increases much more than in Vanilla.

Items in the "Unlocks" columns that are listed in <i><font color=gray>italic and gray</font></i> require multiple research projects, or require both a research project and a Foundry project. They are only unlocked when all research projects are completed, or when both the research project and the foundry project have been completed.
* Exception: Alien Operations only require a single interrogation in addition to Xenopsionics.

===Alien Autopsies===
Alien corpses that have been returned from successful missions can be autopsied for further analysis, once the required research projects have been completed. Note that autopsies require and consume multiple corpses, as listed below.

In addition to the listed unlocked items, autopsies also unlock the ability to inspect aliens on the battlefield and see their perks by targeting them and pressing F1, and often also unlock related Council requests.

===Alien Interrogations===
Alien captives that have been captured with an [[Equipment (Long War)#Miscellaneous Items|Arc Thrower]] and housed in the [[Alien Containment (Long War)|Alien Containment]] can be interrogated once the autopsy project for that species has been completed.

All interrogations unlock certain research credits, which increases the research speed of all future research projects and Foundry projects that match the credit type by 25%, and often also unlock related Council requests.

===UFO Analysis===
Once a UFO has crashed or landed and then is successfully assaulted, it can be analyzed as a research project. Once the research project has completed, ships gain 10% damage bonus against all UFOs of the same type.
Also, once ''UFO Scanners'' Foundry project is completed, analyzed UFO's display damage during [[Air Combat (Long War)|Air Combat]].

All UFO Analysis have the Aerospace credit type. Once a Floater has been interrogated, the speed at which UFOs are analyzed increases by 25%.

==Technology Projects==
Technology projects allow players to study alien materials and develop new technology. These studies are generally longer than analysis projects, and usually cost a combination of Alien Alloys, Elerium, Weapon Fragments, Meld and captured devices.

Most technology projects have a credit type. Once the research credits of this type have been acquired through an interrogation, the research speed for these technology projects increases by 25%.

===Xenology===
These research projects study the aliens in a more general approach than specific autopsies and interrogations, unlocking Psionic Powers, Genetic Modifications and Cybernetic Augmentations.

Most of these research projects are required for the various Autopsy projects, as well as Stealth Systems, Mind and Machine and Plasma Weapons. These research projects also advance the storyline.

===Materials and Aerospace===
These research projects study the Alien Alloys, Elerium, Weapon Fragments, Meld, UFO Flight Computers and UFO Power Sources that are obtained during missions, and unlock useful projects and items to require these materials, as well as Council requests for these materials.

Most of these research projects are required for the various Armor and Weapons projects, as well as Alien Biocybernetics.

===Plasma Weapons===
When aliens die, the weapons they wield self-destruct. When aliens are captured with an [[Equipment (Long War)#Utility devices|Arc Thrower]], their weapons remain intact, allowing then to be studied and retrofitted for human use.
