The Global One Health Fellows program brings together an interdisciplinary cohort of graduate students from across the university. Through courses, networking, and opportunities for professional development, fellows broaden 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.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

One Health is an interdisciplinary framework that recognizes the interconnectedness of humans, animals, plants, and the environment, and seeks to sustainably optimize health across these systems. Research that utilizes the One Health approach investigates problems from multiple angles, applying systems thinking to address complex global challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global One Health Fellows will receive one year of support, including a $34,000 stipend, insurance coverage, and tuition<\/strong>. They will join an interdisciplinary cohort of graduate students interested in global dimensions of health across humans, animals, plants, and the environment. Fellows will broaden their knowledge in multiple domains of One Health, while learning from peers and mentors from other disciplines to bring new perspectives that facilitate a deeper understanding in their field of study. Fellows will also benefit from professional development opportunities, including through networking, public engagement, career exploration, and interdisciplinary mentorship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who should apply?<\/h2><\/a>
\n

Diverse perspectives stemming from natural and social sciences, humanities, engineering, natural resources, textiles, education, design, and management are critical in addressing global One Health challenges. As such, students spanning all of NC State\u2019s colleges and programs are encouraged to apply<\/strong>. The Global One Health Fellows program will support highly interdisciplinary cohorts that bring together diverse perspectives and approaches, learn best practices in cross-cutting communication and team science, and apply this interdisciplinarity for the benefit of their research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be eligible for the Global One Health Fellows program, applicants must be current or incoming PhD students at NC State. Incoming PhD students must be already accepted to attend NC State or, if not formally accepted yet, have a PI who is committed to serving as their research advisor, pending their acceptance to NC State. We cannot assist with matching incoming students with PIs. Ideal applicants will be early in their academic career (1st or 2nd year), but later-career PhD students are welcome to apply if they have at least one year remaining prior to completion of their degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All applicants must have One Health-related research <\/strong>(i.e., at the intersection of human, animal, plant, and\/or environmental health) that aligns with one or more of the following Global One Health Academy thematic areas: food and water solutions, infectious diseases, and\/or climate and global change.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
