Accepting Proposals for GCAP-AMR Seed Grants
The Global One Health Academy is excited to announce a call for proposals for their new GCAP-AMR Seed grants. These grants will fund NC State faculty pursuing interdisciplinary AMR research.
Background
The Global One Health Academy is launching a new initiative – the Grand Challenges Addressing Program (GCAP) – to address wicked problems that demand an interdisciplinary approach. GCAPs will allow us to harness the full spectrum of expertise that NC State offers, with the goal of facilitating innovation, generating transformative solutions, securing extramural funding, and establishing powerful partnerships to address a critical societal issue. Our first GCAP is targeting the silent pandemic of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) at the human-animal-plant-environment interface. To accelerate knowledge advancement in this area, the Global One Health Academy is investing $100,000 to support seed grant opportunities for interdisciplinary AMR research.
Award information
There are two awards available through this call: Launch Projects and Pilot Projects.
Launch Projects will be supported up to $50,000
Launch Projects are intended to be projects that will lead to external grant submission within a short time window. Proposals for existing projects that have preliminary data and/or are at a more advanced stage are welcome for this award, although incorporation of new partners or research directions that enhance One Health and interdisciplinary perspectives are strongly encouraged.
Pilot Projects will be supported up to $15,000.
Pilot Projects are intended to be projects involving new collaborations and/or new research directions. Proposals from early career faculty and exploratory projects are especially encouraged for this award.
