North Carolina Collaboratory

On September 1, 2024 the NC Collaboratory submitted a legislative report highlighting the dozens of university research projects it has supported as part of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).

The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research has teamed up with the North Carolina Collaboratory to enable even more teams who are making advancements in fields like health care and clean energy.

As one of four recipients of the Collaboratory’s DEQ Applied Research Fellowship, Ralph Mead plays a vital role in shaping PFAS regulation in North Carolina via contributions to the NC PFAS Testing Network.

In her Collaboratory research project, student intern Stephanie Caddell works to understand the impacts of the Fisheries Reform Act and human interactions with coastal ecosystems and the fishing industry.
