Launched by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation in 2013, DDCSP responds to the need for racial and ethnic diversity within organizations and government agencies that work to conserve land, water and wildlife by increasing the number of undergraduate students from underrepresented groups who choose to pursue coursework and careers in conservation. DDCSP is adminstered at five universities across the country, each offering a unique approach and experience to biodiversity conservation.

The mission of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation is to improve the quality of people’s lives through grants supporting the performing arts, environmental conservation, medical research and child well-being, and through preservation of the cultural and environmental legacy of Doris Duke’s properties.
