One health and antimicrobial resistance research partnerships
East Tennessee State University seeks partnerships with healthcare, veterinary, public health, environmental, and industry organizations interested in One Health and antimicrobial resistance research. We support collaborative projects related to AMR surveillance, environmental and wastewater monitoring, foodborne pathogens, companion animal and zoonotic health, and applied epidemiologic analysis. Partnership models may include sponsored research, pilot studies, co-development, student capstones, and fee-for-service analytical support.
Our team can contribute expertise in study design, laboratory-to-field project coordination, data interpretation, literature review, and dissemination of findings through reports, presentations, and manuscripts. We are particularly interested in projects that connect human, animal, and environmental health data to inform prevention, surveillance, and decision-making. We welcome partners seeking practical, evidence-based collaboration with strong academic and public health relevance.
