Global Brain Health Institute (GBHI) is currently accepting applications for its Atlantic Fellows for Equity in Brain Health Program 2027–2028. Interested applicants are encouraged to click here to learn more about this opportunity and apply for it.
The Atlantic Fellows for Equity in Brain Health program at the Global Brain Health Institute (GBHI) provides innovative training, networking, and support to emerging leaders focused on improving brain health and reducing the impact of dementia in their local communities and on a global scale. It is one of seven global Atlantic Fellows programs to promote societies that expand opportunity, improve health, and foster belonging.
The program is for professionals from a wide range of disciplines, including the arts, sciences, economics, policy, medicine, journalism, community-based practice and much more. Whatever the discipline, we are looking for individuals working in the area of brain health and dementia who have great ideas, enthusiasm and leadership potential.
Curriculum: Fellows at both sites participate in an interdisciplinary curriculum focused on brain health, dementia, and health equity. Learning is grounded in lived experiences of people with dementia and includes case-based and experiential components. Fellows develop skills in communication, research design, leadership, and advocacy—preparing them to become transformative leaders in brain health.
Career Development and Pilot funding : Throughout the program and beyond fellows will receive career mentorship from faculty at GBHI and in their local community. Mentors will help fellows to realize their goals and be transformative and will assist them in applying for competitive pilot awards of up to $25,000 to begin an ambitious project in their home community.
Lifelong Fellowship : Becoming an Atlantic Fellow for Equity in Brain Health doesn’t end upon completion of the program. In fact, our fellows become part of a lifelong engaged community which extends and amplifies the impact of the fellowship. The inter professional and interdisciplinary nature of the program encourages collaborations across sectors and each fellow contributes greatly to the cohort through sharing their experience and expertise.
Application deadlines
The fellowship begins in late August 2027.
