Carla Browning

All interested faculty members are invited to begin team building for a university-led One Health initiative from 1:30- 3 p.m. Friday, Nov. 16, in Butrovich 109a/b.

This group will help shape a statewide meeting planned for March 2019 and a circumpolar meeting in March 2020.

Registration is still open. Please fill out the free .

One Health is an approach to public policy and research that focuses on the ways environmental, animal and human health are interconnected. The concept has a wide variety of scientific, public health and policy applications.

The group will begin the process of creating interdisciplinary teams to build research, education and outreach programs around a strong and inclusive One Health initiative. The mission is to improve our research capacity, competitiveness in securing funds, and effectiveness in improving health and well-being in the North, and seek long-term program funding to support graduate students; publications; and local, regional and circumpolar collaborations.
