Research Section

Current Research Interests

Use the Current Research Interests section to add a narrative paragraph about your current research. Current work may not be represented by your grants or publications, so this section helps potential collaborators find you.

1. Use the text editor window to provide a more detailed description of your ongoing research or areas of interest. This should build on your Overview statement, offering specific insights into your current projects, collaborations, or future research goals.

2. The formatting tool icons at the top of the text editor window can help make your content easier to read. You can:

   • Add headings to organize different topics or sections.
   • Create bulleted or numbered lists to break down complex ideas or list items clearly.
   • Include hyperlinks to relevant research papers, articles, or websites.
   • Apply rich text formatting like bold, italics, and underline to emphasize key points.
3. Once you've completed your updates, click Save to save your changes, or Cancel to discard changes.

Selected Grants

The information in the “Selected Grants” section comes from Sponsored Projects System (SPS) and must be edited in SPS. In Scholars, you can hide specific grants or the entire grants section.

External Relationships

If you engage with activities, work, or research with organizations outside of Duke, you are required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest with the Duke Office of Scientific Integrity – Conflict of Interest Office (DOSI-COI).  You can add or make changes to your Industry Relationships using the Conflict of Interest form. Regardless of what data you are asked to submit via the form, only the institution name will be displayed on your Scholars@Duke profile.
