UNC Research Connections: Health & Extreme Weather

Join the Office of Research of Development (ORD) and NC TraCS during University Research Week to explore research opportunities at the intersection of climate, health, and extreme weather. ORD is tracking a recent emphasis at NIH on the relationship between health and climate, following the release of a Health and Extreme Weather highlighted topic, another on time-sensitive research projects on environmental health, and an NIH-NSF Research Award Program partnership.

Hear from NIEHS program staff, learn about innovative research taking place across campus, and connect with collaborators for future research opportunities.

Highlights include:

  • NIEHS program staff involved in developing the various newly announced initiatives will be present to share the latest updates and meet with faculty one-on-one
  • Faculty lightning talks will showcase UNC expertise, ongoing projects, and emerging research directions to build new collaborations
  • Networking opportunities will build interdisciplinary connections and explore potential collaborations

This event will be held in room 219 on the second floor of the Brinkhous-Bullitt Building.
