The One Health Program Announces 2024 Request for Pilot Project ProposalsWhat is One Health at WSU?
What is the purpose of this RFA?The primary goal of the One Health Pilot Project Program is to develop research capacity and expertise to address research priorities that are informed by our Community Advisory Board (CAB) and that generate practical results that aide our community and lead to extramural research funding from supporting agencies. This RFA seeks applications for research projects focused on understanding the integrative One Health aspects of current relevant health issues. In this first round of pilot project requests, we are especially encouraging submissions in the areas of: long-term (longitudinal) One Health data in the region, the combined effects of multiple One Health stressors in urban settings, and other novel, transdisciplinary One Health applications.

The One Health concept recognizes that human, animal, plant, ecosystem, and planetary health inform each other and are, in fact, inextricably linked. One Health advocates that scientists, clinicians, educators and community partners adopt an integrative approach so that we can visualize, quantify, and predict the course and eventual health impact of environmental challenges before it becomes too late to introduce evidence-based intervention strategies. The One Health Program at WSU supports the coalescing of environmental health sciences research activities and relevant enabling technologies across campus and with strategic partners to target themes and thrusts that will lead to development of broad programmatic-based funding and applied technologies that involve multiple departments and/or colleges/schools and directly benefits the WSU urban region.
