Apply for the Data+ Summer Research Program

December 13, 2016

Data+ is a full-time, ten-week summer research experience that welcomes Duke undergraduate and master’s students interested in exploring new data-driven approaches to interdisciplinary challenges. Earlier this month, the program was honored for educational innovation at the Reimagine Education Conference and Awards.

Data+ is part of Bass Connections in Information, Society & Culture. Students join small teams (a maximum of three undergraduates and one master’s student) and work alongside other teams in a communal environment. They learn how to marshal, analyze and visualize data while gaining broad exposure to the modern world of data science.

Participants receive a $5,000 stipend, out of which they must arrange their own housing and travel. Funding and infrastructure support are provided by a wide range of departments, schools and initiatives from across Duke, as well as by outside industry and community partners. Participants may not accept employment or take classes during the program.
