Deadline: February 24, 2018
Student applications are now open for this summer’s Data+ research program, which runs from May 29 through August 3. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis through February 24.
Undergraduates and master’s students interested in exploring new data-driven approaches to interdisciplinary challenges can apply to join small teams and learn how to marshal, analyze and visualize data, while gaining broad exposure to the field of data science.
Each student receives a $5,000 stipend for this full-time research experience. Participants are not allowed to enroll in classes or accept employment during Data+. The program is open to students at all levels and from all majors.
Each team has two to three undergraduates (and occasionally one master’s student) and one to two doctoral student (or postdoc) mentors, in addition to a client or sponsor. Teams work alongside each other in a communal environment, learning from each other.
Data+ is offered through the Information Initiative at Duke and is part of the Bass Connections Information, Society & Culture theme.
