Duke students from all levels and schools are invited to check out the new Bass Connections projects for 2020-2021 - including a number on the theme of Global Health. Applications open on January 24 and are due on February 14 by 5:00 p.m. All interested students can learn more about new project teams by talking to team leaders at the Bass Connections Fair on Friday, January 24, from 2 to 4 pm at Penn Pavilion.

A university-wide initiative, Bass Connections engages students in collaborative research on complex societal challenges, working alongside faculty from across Duke. Most project teams collaborate with partners outside Duke, including companies, nonprofits, universities, school systems, hospitals and government agencies. Many team members take their research further through grants, theses and other opportunities at Duke and beyond.

Project teams last for two semesters, and some include a summer component. Course credit and summer funding are available.
