Bezos Center for Sustainable Protein at NC State

North Carolina State University was awarded $30 million over five years from the Bezos Earth Fund to lead a center of excellence to create a biomanufacturing hub for dietary proteins that are environmentally friendly, healthy, accessible and affordable.

The center will include numerous partners from academia and industry to research, create and commercialize new technologies for manufacturing various protein products. Efforts will focus on three areas: 

• The Research and Development team will strive to improve the palette of materials used to extract proteins or to use as raw materials for fermentation and cell cultivation; make manufacturing processes for sustainable protein products more efficient and less costly, using advanced biotechnology and manufacturing methods; and train the center’s faculty and students on innovation and intellectual property as well as commercialization models, tools and strategies to facilitate new technology transfer to industry.
• The Workforce Development team aims to set standards for educating and training students and personnel in advanced food technologies; ensure that curricula span all age and grade levels as well as professional training; and implement programs that extend NC State’s Biomanufacturing Training and Education Center ’s groundwork in pharmaceuticals to advanced food technologies.  
• The Capacity Building team will reach out to community stakeholders – consumers, farmers and chefs, for example – to understand their perceptions, preferences and expectations of sustainable protein foods and use the results to inform outreach strategies. It will also conduct workshops with industry members and regulators to understand policy and regulatory trends, drivers, barriers and enablers. And it will create a biennial sustainable protein boot camp for stakeholders from countries that will benefit the most from environmental benefits of alternative protein technology.

“NC State’s College of Engineering has made critical investments in biofabrication and other advanced manufacturing processes and this grant will enable even more investment in this important area,” says Jim Pfaendtner, Louis Martin-Vega Dean of NC State’s College of Engineering. “The college also has a wealth of experience in standing up centers of this type in areas including health monitoring, renewable energy and artificial intelligence in education to help tackle global problems that cut across disciplines.”

“Our interdisciplinary research supports animal and plant protein production to sustain human health. We also have a proven record of research and extension work to support sustainable animal and plant agriculture, the state’s No. 1 industry, which generates more than $100 billion in annual economic impact,” said Garey Fox, dean of NC State’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. “Innovative use of technology in animal sciences, plant sciences, human health, engineering and food technologies is vital to successful food production with a growing demand for protein, a cornerstone of our Food-Animal Initiative .”

Industry Partners

Why are proteins essential to human health?

Proteins are essential building blocks of life. Without the amino acids in protein, our cells, tissues and organs can’t function. 

Why is NC State uniquely positioned to help shape the future of alternative proteins as a land-grant university in a state with significant animal agriculture?

NC State’s interdisciplinary research supports animal and plant protein production to sustain human health. We have a proven record of research and extension work to support agriculture, the state’s No. 1 industry, which generates more than $100 billion in annual economic impact. We work extensively with farmers and food processors to help them adapt to changing conditions, financial pressures and emerging market opportunities. 

Who better than NC State to help tackle the challenges of protein production of all kinds?

NC State is best positioned to be on the leading edge of this technology because we know food systems, food science and, most importantly, agriculture. Innovative use of technology in plant sciences, human health, engineering and food technologies is vital to successful food production. This project builds upon legislative investments in the N.C. Food Innovation Lab (NCFIL) in Kannapolis and the College of Engineering’s Fitts-Woolard Hall.  

Why is there a need to develop more ways to feed 10 billion people as soon as 2050?

We reached a world population of 8 billion people in November 2023, according to United Nations estimates. We know from research that as populations grow, the demand for animal-based protein increases, particularly as incomes rise . In addition to the overall need for high quality protein, we need innovation to respond to dietary preferences and trends in the U.S. and worldwide. As they make food choices, more consumers are seeking ways to improve their health, reduce food waste and lower the environmental impact of food production and consumption. Along with vegetarians and vegans, we’re seeing an increase of flexitarians interested in adding more plant-based protein to their diets in lieu of animal sources exclusively.  Taking a leadership role in alternative protein research allows NC State to shape the future of this important work. 

What will the Center do?

The Center will focus on advancing science and technology, workforce development, and community outreach for the three primary types of sustainable proteins: 

• Plant-based products
• Precision fermentation to produce proteins and nutrients that can be used in food formulations
• Cultivated meat grown from animal cells

Overview of The Graduate School Admissions Process

UNCP welcomes applications from qualified persons whose academic preparation and aptitude predict success in graduate school. To be considered for admission to The Graduate School, an applicant must have an earned bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university recognized by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) Western Association of Schools and Colleges, Higher Learning Commission (HLC), Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE), New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE), Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU), Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), or WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC).  Degrees earned at colleges/universities accredited by other US Department of Education recognized national accreditors may also be considered. Applicants whose undergraduate degrees are still in progress may apply for conditional admission. Information on accredited institutions is available from The Graduate School. Exceptions on standard accreditation may be granted for applicants with international degrees, including applicants with three-year degrees from institutions in Europe participating in the Bologna Process. Information about the Bologna Process can be found at http://www.ehea.info/ .

The Graduate School website ( www.uncp.edu/grad ) provides important information for prospective students, including application forms and requirements, submission guidelines, application deadlines, and timeframes for admission. Additional information is available on the website of the specific degree program.

Any student who supplies false or misleading information or conceals pertinent facts to secure admission to UNCP may be denied admission or, if admitted, may be immediately dismissed from the University. Such a student may be ineligible to receive any credit from the UNCP Graduate School.

Disposition of Application Materials

All materials submitted for admission consideration to The Graduate School become the property of the University and are not returned. Copies will not be provided to persons outside the University unless required by law. Copies will, however, be provided to appropriate offices at the University in the interest of academic matters or financial awards relative to the applicant. Applications and supporting documents are retained according to the retention policies of the state of North Carolina.

Admission Deadlines for Early Consideration

Interested applicants should check the information on the website for admission terms and deadlines, noting that some graduate programs admit students every term, but others admit students only once or twice a year and often the beginning term is summer I. Similarly, the deadline for applications vary by program, but for programs not specifying an application deadline, students may be admitted until the term begins. If a deadline for a program is not specified, application materials and all supporting documentation should be submitted to The Graduate School at least one month prior to the projected enrollment date (at least six months prior to the projected enrollment date for international students). Additionally, some programs will reach admission capacity early.  When capacity is met or an application deadline passes, subsequent applicants will be considered for the next term of admission, which may be a year later. Check program websites for details.

The Admissions Decision

The Dean of The Graduate School (or designee) and the Director, designee or committee of the appropriate graduate degree program evaluate all applications that meet the basic eligibility criteria (see admission requirements below). Meeting the minimum qualifications for general admission to The Graduate School does not guarantee admission to a specific program.

The admissions decision is made by the Dean of The Graduate School or designee upon recommendation from the appropriate Director of a graduate degree program. No single consideration dictates decisions on applications; instead, numerous factors and their relationships to one another impact such decisions. The Program Director’s recommendation and the Dean’s official admission decision are based upon an analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data submitted by the applicant. 

Categories of Admission

All students seeking to enroll in any graduate class must be admitted to The Graduate School, or they must have specific permission from the Dean of The Graduate School. The Graduate School admits graduate students in one of the following categories:

•     full admission to a program,
•     conditional admission to a program,
•     enrichment students, and
•     visiting graduate students.

In addition, UNCP undergraduate students who have at least 75 hours of course credit (at least 24 credit hours at UNCP), have at least a 3.0 GPA, and gain permission may participate in Undergraduate Privilege.  Undergraduate Privilege allows students to take up to twelve (12) semester hours of graduate credit, which may also count towards an appropriate undergraduate and graduate degree.

Admissions categories, admission requirements, and undergraduate enrollment are further explained in the sections below.

Conditional Admission to a Graduate Program

Students may be conditionally admitted into a program if they do not meet all requirements for a program, but their circumstances warrant conditional admission. Conditions typically require a student to take courses with content needed for success in the program.

Conditionally admitted students who do not complete the conditions and are not fully admitted into a program within one year are no longer eligible for financial aid.

Enrichment Student Admission

Applicants who possess a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution of higher learning, who are not enrolled in degree programs at other institutions, and who wish to complete courses at UNCP for personal or professional enrichment may qualify for admission as enrichment students. Students in this category may enroll in up to six (6) credit hours in a semester. Continuation of enrollment beyond one semester in this category requires the written approval of the Dean of The Graduate School. Twelve (12) semester hours of credit (if appropriate and within the time limit) earned as an enrichment student may later be applied toward degree requirements (see Transfer Credit section).

Enrollment for Additional Graduate Licensure

Applicants who possess graduate (M level) licensure by the North Carolina State Board of Education may enroll in some graduate programs to earn additional graduate licensure. Students who wish to exercise this option must apply to The Graduate School for admission. The School of Education Licensure Officer and the Program Director will identify the requirements for a recommendation for additional graduate licensure to be forwarded to the Department of Public Instruction by UNCP. This enrollment status does not qualify the student for an additional degree.

Enrollment for Graduate Certificate

Applicants for Graduate Certificate programs should see the Program Specific Requirements on the Graduate School website .  In general, graduate certificate applicants must:

• pay the $55.00, non-refundable application fee ($60.00 for international applicants),

Undergraduate Privilege for Graduate Coursework

Undergraduate students who have successfully completed 75 hours of undergraduate coursework, with 24 hours completed at UNC Pembroke, may gain permission to take graduate courses by completing the Undergraduate Privilege form located on the Graduate School Forms and Resources website. Students may want to note that up to twelve hours (12) of successfully completed (B or better) graduate coursework may count towards their master’s degree, depending on program and courses, and may also count towards their undergraduate degree. These students should note that these courses are subject to all Graduate School rules and regulations (time to degree, grading, etc.).

To be eligible, undergraduate student must:

• have successfully completed 75 hours of course credit (at least 24 credit hours at UNCP),
• have at least a 3.0 GPA at UNCP, and
• submit the Undergraduate Privilege form, properly completed and signed, to The Graduate School.
• Graduate course grades do NOT count in one’s undergraduate GPA.
• Graduate level coursework may only be applied to both an undergraduate and a graduate degree if the student receives proper prior approval.
• Graduate course grades count in graduate GPA and towards the graduate regulation of three “Cs” or one “F” dismissal.
• Permission to take graduate courses does not guarantee future admission into a graduate program.
• If course(s) is/are counting towards completion of undergraduate degree, financial aid may apply.
• Students taking graduate courses may withdraw from the course up to two weeks prior to the last regular class meeting for a regular 15 week course or the equivalent in shorter term courses.
• Undergraduate students taking and failing a graduate level course may appeal to the Graduate Appeals Committee for permission to apply for admission into a graduate program following the guidelines under Special Readmission Regulation for Students Dismissed for Academic Reasons.
• Undergraduate students may not take graduate hours in Thesis, Independent/Individual Study, Practicum, or Internship courses.

Medical History Forms and Immunizations

North Carolina State law (General Statute 130A 152-157) requires that all students entering college present a certificate of immunization, which documents that the student has received the required immunizations. This law applies to all students except the following: students registered in only off-campus courses; students attending night or weekend classes only; and students taking a course load of four (4) credit hours or fewer in on-campus courses. The form and additional information is available on the website of Student Health Services ( www.uncp.edu/shs ). Students whose medical history forms are not on file by the specified deadline each semester are administratively withdrawn from the University.

Student Health Insurance

Registered students taking six (6) or more credit hours are required to purchase the University of North Carolina system-wide Student Health Insurance Plan, with the following exceptions: distance education students (students taking only off-campus and internet courses) and students who submit evidence of equivalent coverage satisfactory to the policyholder. All qualifying students are automatically enrolled in the UNC system-wide plan each semester and are obligated for the cost of the plan for that semester unless the student submits a waiver request at http://studentbluenc.com/#/uncp that is successfully verified as equivalent coverage. An overview of the plan is available on the website of Student Health Services ( https://www.uncp.edu/campus-life/student-health-services/students/insurance ).

Residency Status for Tuition Purposes

North Carolina law requires students who are not residents of the State to pay a higher rate of tuition than that charged North Carolina residents. To qualify for in-state tuition, the applicant must generally have lived in North Carolina for a minimum period of twelve months immediately prior to his or her enrollment in an institution of higher learning.

Special waivers exist for U.S. military personnel. Military Waiver forms are available for active duty U.S. military personnel and their dependents stationed in North Carolina.

International students (i.e., non-US citizens seeking to attend the UNCP Graduate School) are subject to special regulations regarding residency status, immigration procedures, and passport and/or visa requirements. Information is available in the UNCP Office of Global Engagement.

NC Residency Determination Service (RDS) is the entity responsible for all new classifications of residency in North Carolina.  The Graduate School application prompts applicants to the process and to enter a RDS number.
