The William H. Gates Sr. Fellowship, an initiative from the Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) Data Initiative, offers early- and mid-career researchers an opportunity to apply data science approaches to advance research on Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Named in honour of William H. Gates Sr., this fellowship will provide support for projects that leverage generative AI techniques, including multi-modal learning, explainable AI, and privacy-preserving methods. William H. Gates Sr. Fellows will receive $100,000 in funding over two years, and can also avail of support to develop professional networks, identify mentors, present findings, assist with peer-reviewed publications, and more.
Fellows will perform their proposed analysis on the AD Data Initiative’s AD Workbench, a cloud-based data discovery and analysis platform equipped with tools, resources, compute power and data storage space. Applications are open globally, with the AD Data Initiative actively seeking applicants from diverse backgrounds and countries, promoting a collaborative and inclusive approach to solving complex dementia-related challenges. Applications close on December 1, 2024, and those interested are encouraged to visit the AD Data Initiative website for more details on eligibility, application guidelines, and potential research topics.
