Special Study Centers, Programs, and Opportunities UNIVERSITY INSTITUTES & CENTERS Duke Global Health Institute The Duke Global Health Institute (DGHI) is one of the leading academic centers for the study of global health. Recognizing that global health problems stem from economic, social, environmental, political and health care inequalities, DGHI brings together interdisciplinary teams to solve complex health problems and to train the next generation of global health scholars. It offers an innovative Master of Science in Global Health program, a graduate certificate in global health, and mentorship and support to Duke doctoral candidates pursuing global health research. Most programs require a field research experience in the US or locations around the world. In addition to formal programs, DGHI engages students through seminars, conferences, and a journal club. For more information, visit the DGHI Web site at: http://globalhealth.duke.edu/. Duke Institute for Brain Sciences The Duke Institute for Brain Sciences (DIBS) is a cross-school, campus-wide, interdisciplinary institute dedicated to building an interactive community of brain science research and scholarship, to advancing interdisciplinary research and education that transforms our understanding of brain function, and to providing innovative solutions for the challenges facing health and society. As one of Duke's Signature Institutes, DIBS encourages innovation and collaborations that transcend the boundaries of traditional disciplines, bringing together a diverse community of academics from the biomedical sciences, social sciences, physical sciences, humanities, law, business, public policy, mathematics, computer science and engineering. DIBS administers the Graduate Admitting Program in Cognitive Neuroscience, whose students later matriculate into the many PhD programs within the brain sciences. DIBS also partners with individual departments to support their PhD programs through student-focused events, sponsorship of collaborative research, and ongoing training programs. For more information, visit the DIBS Web site at: http://www.dibs.duke.edu/. Center for Cognitive Neuroscience The Center for Cognitive Neuroscience (CCN) - a unit of the Duke Institute for Brain Sciences (DIBS) - serves as the central focus for research, education, and training in the biological, psychological, and computational mechanisms mediating higher brain functions, including perception, attention, memory, emotion, social cognition, motor behavior, decision-making, and consciousness. Cognitive neuroscience is by its nature interdisciplinary. It addresses longstanding questions about brain and mind from new perspectives that cut across traditional intellectual and departmental boundaries. To advance this agenda, the DIBS-CCN and its activities bring together faculty from multiple schools in the University, including Arts and Sciences, the Medical School, Pratt School of Engineering, and Fuqua Business School, representing departments of Psychology & Neuroscience, Neurobiology, Psychiatry, Biomedical Engineering, Philosophy, Evolutionary Anthropology, Computer Science, Linguistics, Neurology, Radiology, Finance, and Marketing. Students can obtain post-graduate training in cognitive neuroscience on either of two tracks. The Cognitive Neuroscience Admitting Program (administered by DIBS) provides a point of entry for incoming PhD students, who complete coursework and laboratory rotations within the program before matching, during their second year, with an advisor and a department in which to earn their PhD degree. Alternatively, students admitted directly to a departmental program can complete coursework and research that lead to a Certificate in Cognitive Neuroscience. For additional information, see the entry “Cognitive Neuroscience” on page 83 in this Bulletin or contact emily.clark@duke.edu. For more information, visit the DIBS-CCN Web site at http://www.mind.duke.edu/. Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy The Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy (IGSP) is a multi- and interdisciplinary network of research programs, and educational activities that together constitute an integrated, campus-wide approach to advancing the Special Study Centers, Programs, and Opportunities 265
Genome Revolution. The IGSP is distinguished by its breadth and its purposeful focus on health and social policy. We bring together scientists, engineers, physicians, lawyers, policymakers, business leaders, economists, ethicists, humanists, and students to explore the genome and embrace its potential for improving human health and exploring the world and our place in it. IGSP faculty and students address far-reaching issues such as genomics and health, personalized medicine, genetic discrimination, the nature of humanity, comparative genome evolution, systems biology, intellectual property, the meaning of genome variation, large-scale data storage and analysis, and national health and science policy. The IGSP is comprised of faculty and students from across Duke University and is organized in a network of related programs that together form an integrated approach to advancing the Genome Revolution and addressing its implications for health and society. While the IGSP is the major focal point on campus for the study of genome sciences and policy, it collaborates with other multidisciplinary research units at Duke doing related work in genomics. John Hope Franklin Humanities Institute Founded in 1999, the Franklin Humanities Institute (FHI) is built on a collaborative model fitting Duke's emphasis on facilitating interdisciplinarity, Through an array of innovative programs, we seek to encourage the conversations, partnerships, and collaborations that are continually stimulating creative and fresh research, writing, and teaching in the humanities at Duke. Since its inception, the FHI has been a key component in Duke's overall strategic direction. The FHI played a key role in the 2000 strategic plan, Building on Excellence, and was designated as one of seven University Institutes in 2006. After a decade in the John Hope Franklin Center for Interdisciplinary and International Studies, the FHI moved in Fall 2010 to a 12,000 square-foot space in Smith Warehouse on Duke's East Campus. Recently developed FHI is home to our Humanities Labs, which contribute to Duke's research and pedagogical missions by convening groups of faculty and students around discipline-crossing projects. Complementing our historic strengths in supporting faculty and graduate scholarship - notably through the twelve Annual Seminars we hosted between 1999 and 2011 - the Labs invite undergraduates to participate as researchers themselves, helping to define emerging and future areas of humanistic inquiry. The FHI's Humanities Labs are a major part of a recent major grant from the A.W. Mellon Foundation to the University, entitled Humanities Writ Large. FHI programs also include Faculty Book Manuscript Workshops, Interdisciplinary Working Groups, our major Annual Lecture, Distinguished Scholars in Residence, and a wide range of lectures, seminars, panel discussions, conferences, and arts programs, often presented in collaboration with other Duke units. We frequently offer opportunities for graduate student involvement in FHI programs and initiatives, including our Humanities Labs and our PhD Lab in Digital Knowledge, which begins in fall 2013. In addition to its own programs, the FHI is home to the Duke Human Rights Center at the Franklin Humanities Institute (DHRC@FHI), the Center for Philosophy, Arts, and Literature (PAL), and the international organizations HASTAC (Humanities Arts Sciences Technology Advanced Collaboratory) and the Consortium of Humanities Centers and Institutes (CHCI). The FHI maintains an extensive web presence at http://fhi.duke.edu/ Kenan Institute for Ethics The Kenan Institute for Ethics at Duke University is an interdisciplinary "think and do" tank committed to understanding and addressing real-world ethical challenges facing individuals, organizations, and societies worldwide. •We foster students’ capacity for ethical decision-making and develop ethical leaders. •We conduct interdisciplinary research that has practical implications. •We shape public policy and institutional practices through partnerships with businesses, think tanks, nonprofits, and policy-makers. The Institute promotes ethical reflection and engagement through its research, education, and practice in three core areas: Moral Education and Decision-Making, Organizational Ethics, and Civic and Global Ethics.
