2027/2028 Atlantic Fellows for Equity in Brain Health
The Atlantic Fellows for Equity in Brain Health program brings together experienced professionals from diverse disciplines who are committed to advancing brain health equity through leadership, collaboration, research, and innovation. Designed for emerging leaders, the fellowship provides education, mentorship, leadership development, and lifelong global connections. Fellows strengthen their expertise while learning alongside clinicians, researchers, artists, public health professionals, policymakers, educators, and advocates from around the world.
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.
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 funding of up to $25,000 to begin an ambitious project in their home community.
Becoming an Atlantic Fellow for Equity in Brain Health doesn’t end upon completion of the program. In fact, our fellows become part of an engaged community which extends and amplifies the impact of the fellowship. The interprofessional and interdisciplinary nature of the program encourages collaborations across sectors and each fellow contributes greatly to the cohort through sharing their experience and expertise.
