GHI and the One Health Centers support basic and translational research in Human, Animal & Plant Health.
How we do it:
- Creating centers that encourage interdisciplinary collaboration, looking to Principal Investigators (PIs) to cross-collaborate outside their fields.
- Facilitating access to community-based and Indigenous organizations to understand local needs that will drive assessment, research, and intervention projects. Move projects from bench and bedside into the community.
- Providing opportunities for graduate/professional students to participate in interdisciplinary and transnational (e.g. sustainable interprofessional clinical projects, dissertation groups).
- Encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration by leveraging faculty involved in One Health work, identifying interdisciplinary funding opportunities, tapping into campus databases (of investigators, MOUs and partnerships), and partnering with interprofessional groups.
- Facilitating thoughtful collaborations with industry that are advised by and advance the interests of local communities. This could include studying place-based interconnections across human, animal & plant health.
