UCD2 Transatlantic One Health Alliance
Funding announcement
Purpose
Zoetis has been a significant supporter of One Health training and research activities at University College Dublin (UC Dublin) and the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) over the past decade. Through Zoetis, the “UC Dublin-UC Davis (UCD2) Transatlantic One Health Alliance” was created and has supported two rounds of collaborative awards uniting faculty from UC Dublin and UC Davis in innovative ways and we are now pleased to announce the opening of applications for funding in round three.
The UCD2 Transatlantic One Health Alliance works by promoting integrated collaborations to address global societal needs.
The UCD2 Transatlantic One Health Alliance provides funding to support initiatives that foster international partnerships using a One Health approach to advance the health of animals, people, and the environment in a unique transatlantic manner. Applicants are encouraged to submit funding proposals for innovative and sustainable programs built around faculty collaborations linking UC Dublin and UC Davis. Each collaborative award proposal will be submitted as one joint application, see details below.
Collaboration Awards 2024 focus:
Joint initiatives underpinned by the One Health concept that considers human, animal and/or environmental health aspects of the challenge addressed.
This could involve investigations in areas such as (but not restricted to) comparative medicine, genetics, oncology, infectious diseases, diagnostics, vaccines, or novel medicines.
There is particular interest in funding applications that emphasize the building of collaborations with the potential to carry out innovative investigations with translational possibilities into a product or service in the future.
The research should employ a One Health approach and this must be clearly explained in the funding application. Project proposals that do not adequately address this point will not be considered for funding. For information about One Health and how it is defined, please see (opens in a new window)here and here.
