What was the One Health Grand Challenge?
The 2014 One Health Grand Challenge was an opportunity open to all Texas A&M schools and colleges to plan and implement an inter/transdisciplinary collaborative approach to helping improve the lives of all species by addressing health and their connections between natural & man-made environments. One Health, the collaborative effort across multiple disciplines working locally, nationally, and globally to attain sustainable optimal health for the ecosystem, is a cultural and behavioral concept with socioeconomic elements and impact. The One Health Grand Challenge focused on identifying four major research themes and implementing a plan for bringing together faculty from across Texas A&M to form collaborative inter/transdisciplinary teams to propose research initiatives under the major themes.
