With financial support from the Virginia Tech Graduate School and the Fralin Life Sciences Institute, the Global Change Center aims to support graduate students who engage in interdisciplinary research and problem-solving to address today’s pressing societal and environmental challenges. The Global Change Center, in coordination with the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, also helps to administer funds for a NIH T32 Predoctoral Training Grant.
As of Spring 2024, the GCC has provided $2.8 million of Fellowship funding for 68 PhD students at Virginia Tech.
In the 2024-25 academic year, the Global Change Center will help to administer seven fellowships, across three focal areas:
DIVERSITY • GLOBAL CHANGE • RURAL ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
