About the Research Programs:
Research programs at the College of Veterinary Medicine comprise over 100 faculty representing more than 25 disciplines working with more than 20 species. Researchers address critical issues in biomedical, agricultural and biological sciences through a broad variety of experimental approaches and techniques - ranging from basic discovery in molecular biology to application of new technology in the veterinary teaching hospital or in herds and flocks of the state's livestock industry. The overall goal of the College's research program is to provide solutions to problems of particular importance to North Carolina and to address problems of importance to society at large.
The research programs at the college include more than 100 graduate students and over 80 research technicians working in over 100 laboratories with state-of-the-art equipment. Access to specialized equipment is provided to all the colleges' faculty through central facilities and through service laboratories. Scientists outside the college may use the service laboratories on a fee basis. The colleges' faculty cooperate extensively with other faculty at NCSU, and other colleges and universities and with researchers in corporations and organizations throughout the Research Triangle; therefore, the scope of the college's effort in biomedical and related research is broadened by its proximity to premier medical centers and biomedical research organizations.
The College's research activities are supported by a variety of means. The state of North Carolina provides base support for the research programs, but most research activity is funded through competitive grants from agencies such as the National Institutes of Health and the United States Department of Agriculture and through grants, contracts or memoranda of agreement with companies, foundations, commodity organizations and other agencies.
If faculty are conducting research activities that are of interest to you or your organization, contact them directly at the numbers listed or contact the CVM Research Office. The CVM Research Office will provide assistance to you or your organization in developing agreements for support of research. Research may also be supported through non-restricted gifts to the North Carolina Veterinary Medical Foundation. If you have any questions regarding the College's research programs, contact the Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Programs at 919-513-6213 or the CVM Research Office at 919-513-6224.
