Participants from various AIM-AHEAD programs gathered on Tuesday, July 8, during the 2025 AIM-AHEAD Annual Meeting for dedicated breakout sessions. These meetings provided an opportunity for members of each specific program and their leadership teams to connect, present their research, and reflect on their experiences.

The programs participating in the July 8 breakout sessions included:

• AIM-AHEAD Consortium Development Program (CDP) - Year 2
• AIM-AHEAD Consortium Development Program (CDP-LR) - Year 3 
• AIM-AHEAD Hub-Specific Projects Program
• AIM-AHEAD ABC-EE Program
• AIM-AHEAD Federated Network Program

• AIM-AHEAD & American Indian Higher Education Council Programs (AIHEC)
• AIM-AHEAD Program for Artificial Intelligence Readiness (PAIR) 
• AIM-AHEAD Research Fellowship Program
• AIM-AHEAD CLINAQ Fellowship Program

An optional breakout session ran concurrently, providing attendees the opportunity to consult members of the AIM-AHEAD Finance team for support and guidance on any funding-related topics.

During these breakout sessions, AIM-AHEAD program participants shared the research projects they developed throughout their participation, walking peers and program leaders through their project goals, methods, and outcomes using slides and other presentation formats. In addition to presentations, several programs created space for open discussions and personal reflections on participants’ growth and accomplishments over the course of the program.

Led by Program Directors, A-CC Staff, and faculty, the sessions reflected the unique goals and structure of each program. The focused environment allowed participants to engage with peers, receive valuable feedback, and highlight their progress within the broader AIM-AHEAD Consortium.
