Building a Global Community to Protect Brain Health
The Global Brain Health Institute (GBHI) embraces science, art, and creativity to improve our understanding of brain health and dementia, and to lead change in practice, perception, and policy.
Since 2016, the Atlantic Fellows for Equity in Brain Health program has trained a global community of emerging interprofessional leaders in brain health and dementia prevention through its 12-month residential program at its founding sites at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and Trinity College Dublin (Trinity).
Applications Now Open
GBHI is pleased to announce that applications are now being accepted for the 2024–2025 Atlantic Fellows for Equity in Brain Health program commencing in late August 2024.
The program provides innovative training, networking, and support to emerging leaders focused on improving brain health and reducing the impact of dementia worldwide.
Applications are being sought from exceptional candidates from diverse backgrounds—including clinical practice, social sciences, the arts, public health, research, policy, technology, and education—who demonstrate strong leadership potential, a commitment to brain health and health care policy as well as the ability to implement transformative solutions in local communities.
The Atlantic Fellows for Equity in Brain Health program is an opportunity for values-driven, passionate leaders to elevate their impact and contribution to brain health and dementia.
