Bass Connections offers a unique type of team experience that is distinct from typical group-based research and in-class team projects.
The resources below are designed to help team leaders and members set up processes and practices that support effective team-based research. Teams are encouraged to adapt and modify these resources as needed.
If you have questions about these resources, or other team resources, please contact Meghan O'Neil at meghan.oneil@duke.edu.
