North Carolina Collaboratory

For Dr. Tanya Hudson, an associate professor, researcher, and chair in the College of Education at Fayetteville State University, an unexpected career path arose from a love for mathematics.

Additional funding opportunities are expected to spark innovation across North Carolina’s research landscape. The 2022-23 N.C. budget provides the Collaboratory with $500,000 of additional recurring funding for the HMSI Research Grant Program.

From June through December 2020, a group of UNC-Chapel Hill researchers conducted this observational study investigating the spread of COVID-19 among essential workers employed in the farming and food processing industry and their households.

The Collaboratory is partnering with North Carolina Central University and the UNC Injury Prevention Research Center to request research and development proposals that can assist local efforts to abate and remediate the opioid crisis across the state.
