This session describes how Duke University’s Bass Connections program provides opportunities for students from all fields and levels to work collaboratively with faculty on applied research projects. Each year since it’s 2013 launch, the program features more than 60 year-long research teams which include more than 1,000 undergraduates, graduate students and faculty participants. Most teams also include external partners. In this webinar, Ed and Laura share lessons learned about the challenges and best practices for facilitating interdisciplinary research teams, in particular focusing on the benefits of vertically-integrated teams, and what they have learned about setting such teams up for success.
