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.
