Scholarship with a Civic Mission builds on Duke University's commitment in Curriculum 2000 to ethical inquiry and undergraduate research. As students move through the three stages of the Research Service-Learning model, they develop deeper understandings of the intellectual issues, ethical concerns, and questions of civic responsibility related to their research topics. The project provides funds to students who wish to pursue projects within this model, faculty who wish to support such projects or courses within the model, and community partners who are interested in participating in such a process.
