Accepting Applications for the Spring 2026 Graduate Travel Awards

Deadline: Sunday, October 12, 11:59 p.m.

Background

One Health is a collaborative research framework that recognizes the interconnectedness of the health of humans, animals, plants, and the environment. It brings together scientists and practitioners from diverse disciplines to work toward improving the health of these systems simultaneously, from local to global scales. To advance research and professional development opportunities for graduate students working on global challenges through a One Health approach, we are pleased to offer the Global One Health Academy Graduate Travel Award.

About the Award

This travel award will support 3-5 graduate students per year for international or domestic travel that advances their global One Health-related research. Travel could be for field work, data collection and analysis, workshops and training on new methods and approaches, other opportunities that will advance research theory or practice, or conferences and other venues where research findings will be disseminated to the scientific community or the public. Award amounts are available up to $1,500 for domestic travel and up to $3,000 for international travel. There will be two application cycles per year: the current call will support travel occurring January through June 2026.

Eligibility

To be eligible for this award, the applicant must be a graduate or professional student at NC State with One Health research relevant to one or more of the Global One Health Academy thematic areas, which include: food and water solutions, infectious diseases, and/or climate and global change. Graduate and professional students from disciplines across all of NC State’s colleges with relevant research are encouraged to apply. For this cycle, all awarded funds must be used by June 30, 2026.
