Propose a Pop-Up Institute at the Rhodes Information Initiative

Deadline: November 3, 2025. Proposals for faculty-sponsored projects are now being accepted for the Summer 2026 edition of the popular Data+ program.

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.
