When the Research Lab opens
The current guide evidence places the Research Lab behind Sanctuary Lv.7 and Dense Forest 14. Once opened, the Lab adds several research trees over time rather than exposing every branch immediately.
Research tree unlocks
Development and Economy are listed from Research Lab Lv.1. Hero research appears at Lv.5, Soldier at Lv.6, Squad trees at Lv.8 and Alliance Duel research at Lv.10 in the dated reference.

How to use this information
Treat these levels as an unlock map, not a universal priority list. Your best next research depends on what your account is trying to unlock, what resources are limiting you and which event or combat systems matter to you.
