About the Graduate Travel Awards
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.
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 July through December 2024.
