Applications open for 2024-2025 Global One Health Fellows

A One Health approach tackles health threats by looking at all angles – plant, animal, biodiversity, environmental, and human – and recognizes the interconnectedness of these systems with the goal of improving their health outcomes simultaneously. To accelerate graduate student research in One Health at NC State, the Global One Health Academy is pleased to announce its call for applications for the 2024-2025 cohort of Global One Health Fellows.

Global One Health Fellows will receive one year of support, including a $34,000 stipend, insurance coverage, and tuition remission. They will join an interdisciplinary cohort that broadens their knowledge in multiple domains of One Health, while learning from peers and mentors to bring new perspectives that facilitate a deeper understanding in their field of study.

Program Activities:

• 2-credit hour One Health: From Philosophy to Practice course
• 1-credit hour Global One Health seminar course
• Monthly professional development meetings
• Global One Health Academy Research Symposium
• Fall and spring mixers for Fellows and their advisors
• Interdisciplinary co-mentorship opportunities

Diverse perspectives are critical in addressing global One Health challenges, and students spanning all of NC State’s colleges and programs are encouraged to apply. Applicants must be current or incoming graduate students at NC State with One Health research that aligns with one or more of the following Global One Health Academy thematic areas: food and water solutions, infectious diseases, and/or climate change and health disparities.

Applications are due Thursday, February 1st, 2024.
