Faculty Can Propose Data+ Projects for Summer 2026

Deadline: January 20, 2026. The overarching goal is to bring together groups of researchers from across campus to exchange ideas and advance a topic of current and timely interest.

Established in 2013, Rhodes iiD is an interdisciplinary program designed to increase “big data” computational research and expand opportunities for student engagement in this rapidly growing field.

Can a summer program spark a lifelong passion? For Matthew Ross, a Duke Ph.D. graduate in ecology, one of Duke’s interdisciplinary “plus programs” helped lead to a career that blends environmental science, data visualization and collaborative teaching.
