Two Bass Connections project teams have received additional support for the 2016-2017 academic year thanks to the Silver Family Kenan Institute for Ethics Fund in Support of Bass Connections:

• Human Health Risks, Environmental and Ecosystem Damage Associated with Contamination of Used Motor Oil at Auto-mechanic Villages in Ghana 
• Spirituality, Self-management and Chronic Disease among Ethnic Groups of Robeson County, North Carolina.

This partnership would not be possible without a special gift from Jonathan Silver and his wife, Orli Etingin. Previously-supported project teams include:
