Graduate Certificate in Participatory Sciences

The Global One Health Academy offers a Graduate Certificate in Participatory Sciences. The program trains graduate students to address pressing global issues through collaboration with the public on scientific research, and it includes instruction in competencies related to public science, science communication, data management and visualization, and informal science education.

Participatory Sciences Microgrants

Students enrolled in the Graduate Certificate in Participatory Sciences are eligible to apply for microgrants offered by the Global One Health Academy to pilot independent participatory science projects. A call for proposals will be sent to enrolled students annually in the spring, with the number and amounts of awarded grants to be determined based on funding availability.

Pack Science Challenge

Through periodic challenges to participate in campus-based studies led by NC State investigators, the Pack Science Challenge engages students as collaborators in ongoing research about their environment.

Citizen Science Club

Citizen Science Club at NC State consists of undergraduate NC State students advocating for scientific research as an interdisciplinary endeavor. This club welcomes students of any degree to become involved in spreading science throughout campus and to the surrounding community. This club works closely with faculty on campus as well as in the NC Museum of Natural Sciences through participation in citizen science projects and volunteering.
