Lead a Documentary Project With Duke Students: Doc+ Call for Proposals

Manoj Mohanan discusses the collaborative culture that drew him to Duke, the role interdisciplinary work can play in addressing complex challenges and his advice for students looking to make a difference.

This summer, 260 undergraduate and graduate students joined research teams through Duke’s +Programs, exploring questions ranging from AI ethics to climate change, documentary storytelling and public history.

Deadline: February 27, 2026. Duke faculty teaching undergraduates can apply for a new program connected to the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival. A cohort will attend screenings and explore ways to integrate documentary film into research and courses.
