A $3 million award from the National Science Foundation for this five-year project will train 71
graduate
students, including 21 funded trainees, from a variety of STEM fields. It complements an NSF-funded program which recruits
undergrad
s
for a 10-week summer research experience in One Health. The project encourages interdisciplinary research in a range of systems, provides management and policy internships to encourage solutions-oriented practice and training to empower students to communicate with diverse audiences. Women, first-generation students, veterans, students with disabilities and other under-represented groups encouraged to apply. https://bit.ly/33EE5DJ

One Health has long been promoted at U of G as an interdisciplinary approach to promoting health and curbing infectious diseases. The new One Health Institute (OHI) will bring together multidisciplinary researchers from across campus along with external partners to address problems at the intersection of people, animals and the environment.

“The One Health approach, where human, animal and environmental health are considered as inevitably linked, is widely accepted as a pillar of public health. The Nagoya protocol, in its current form, does not sufficiently recognize the need for global collaborative research on genetic resources that have the potential to become a risk to public health. The protocol neglects the non-commercial basic research on microorganisms needed for the global capacity to prevent epidemics. Parties to the Convention are urged to consider simplified measures for non-commercial research, in their legislation on access and benefit sharing, including exceptions or fast track options for research on pathogens.” See
The Nagoya protocol and research on emerging infectious diseases.

USA. New Jersey legislators in August introduced bipartisan legislation,
A 5734 and S 4003
, to ensure a collaborative effort occurs in that state. The legislation would establish the "New Jersey One Health Task Force" within the Department of Health. The Task Force, which would include two veterinarians, would be charged with developing a strategic plan to promote inter-disciplinary communication and collaboration between veterinarians, physicians, and other scientific professionals and State agencies, with the goal of promoting the health and well-being of New Jersey residents, animals, and the environment. https://bit.ly/2W0Mmzd

Launched in 2000, the
Earth Charter
is an international declaration of fundamental values and principles for building a just, sustainable, and peaceful global society. The Charter seeks to inspire in all peoples a sense of global interdependence and shared responsibility for the well-being of the human family, the greater community of life, and future generations. ECI brings the Earth Charter to education, youth, business, and religion and promotes the Earth Charter as an international soft law document. See:

Prime Example of One Health -
African swine fever (ASF) outbreaks in China pose an unexpected threat to the global supply of heparin due to its impact on pig populations. Since August 2018, China has culled more than one million pigs in efforts to contain the spread of ASF within the country. https://bit.ly/2VXm7JU

Tuberculosis remains a global health burden. Ahmad et al. used machine learning to develop an algorithm that distinguished active tuberculosis from other diseases with similar symptoms by measuring expression of four proteins in blood samples.

October 30-November 3, 2019
Salzburgh, Austria.
Invitational Salzburg Global Seminar and Ending Pandemics program.
"Microbes are not deterred by borders, and neither are we."
This program will define a set of outbreak timeliness metrics to monitor progress towards finding and reporting outbreaks faster. We have successfully developed and socialized the outbreak timeliness metrics for the public health sector; now we seek to extend them to the livestock, wildlife, vector, and environmental communities. Incorporating these additional elements will result in a comprehensive set of metrics that can be used for One Health surveillance.

November 14-15, 2019
Addis Abbaba, Ethiopia.
Hosted by the Africa CDC, organized by the One Health Platform, this invitational forum will focus on strengthening the public health practice of national public health institutes (NPHIs) in Africa. Substantial consensus building for One Health public health practice has already been done by WHO, FAO, OIE, US CDC, and other partners and many African countries have conducted disease prioritization workshops and initiated programmes for surveillance and control of specific zoonotic diseases. While NPHIs serve the human health sector, this One Health Forum will ensure adequate representation from animal and environmental sectors to reach balanced recommendations for prioritization, surveillance, and risk assessment. https://bit.ly/2mrxEUd
