Seed Grants
Seed grants support novel, interdisciplinary One Health research projects aligned with combating infectious diseases, driving food and water solutions, and addressing climate change and health disparities.
One Health is the idea that the health of people is connected to the health of animals, plants, and ecosystems. As the Earth’s population grows, people are living closer together, causing changes in climate and land use, increasing global travel and trade, and interacting with animals as food and companions. 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.
Proposals that involve multiple NC State faculty from across colleges and disciplines were strongly encouraged. All proposals required at least one PI that is a GOHA Affiliate Member.
