Atlas Analysis
Verified active North Carolina health-related research and community-engagement opportunity. N9+ Fit Score: 22/100. A limited remote-monitoring or remote physical examination research pilot could be conceivable, but telehealth and connected diagnostics are not solicitation priorities and the $10,000 ceiling limits device/platform deployment. No mandatory match or cost share is stated in the controlling RFP. Dr. Miltie and QC Healthcare are not direct eligible applicants.
NC State University’s Global One Health Academy is accepting proposals for its 2026-27 Local Engagement Seed Grants, supporting community-engaged One Health research that benefits North Carolina communities. The program anticipates 3-5 awards, with funding levels of up to $2,500 for communication/dissemination projects, up to $5,000 for direct community engagement projects, and up to $10,000 for pilot/implementation projects.
Proposals are due September 14, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. through the official NC State submission form. The controlling NC State notice and RFP do not specify a time zone, so applicants should not assume one without confirmation.
Eligibility and requirements
Eligible applicants include NC State faculty, staff, postdoctoral scholars, and graduate students from any discipline. Undergraduate students may apply with a faculty mentor who can assume responsibility for the project and manage awarded funds. Except for proposals that are exclusively trainee-led, at least one PI must be a Global One Health Academy Affiliate Member. All proposals must use a One Health framework, include a research component, and center local engagement in North Carolina.
Applications must combine the required components into a single PDF: cover page and abstract, project description, references, budget and justification, abbreviated PI CVs/biosketches, and applicable letters of support. Community partner letters are required for direct community engagement and pilot/implementation proposals. Indirect costs are not allowable; food outside travel per diem, honoraria, and participant incentives are generally not allowable under the stated funding source.
Atlas assessment
N9+ Fit Score: 22/100. A narrowly designed One Health pilot involving remote monitoring or remote physical examination could conceivably use the Nonagon N9+, but the solicitation does not target telehealth or connected diagnostics and the $10,000 maximum materially limits platform-scale deployment. Atlas Opportunity Score: 58/100. The opportunity is verified and North Carolina-specific, but the applicant universe is limited to NC State personnel and award sizes are modest. Dr. Miltie and QC Healthcare are not eligible direct applicants.
