AIM-AHEAD Program for Artificial Intelligence Readiness (PAIR)

About AIM-AHEAD

The AIM-AHEAD coordinating center was established to enhance diversity in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), with emphasis on reducing health disparities and promoting health equity. We hope to achieve this by engaging in a fair, equitable, and transparent process of building a consortium of AI/ML to promote health equity and an inclusive and diverse workforce. Many communities have untapped potential to contribute new expertise, data, recruitment strategies, and cutting-edge science to the AI/ML field. AIM-AHEAD Coordinating Center seeks to increase participation and engagement through mutually beneficial partnerships, stakeholder engagement, and outreach to advance health equity.

PAIR Program Overview

The AIM-AHEAD Program for AI Readiness (PAIR) aims to leverage AIM-AHEAD resources to jump start AI research for health equity in minority serving institutions (MSI) with inadequate resources. The PAIR program is designed for these organizations to strengthen the foundations for sustainable success in AI/ML health equity research. Through a two-phase funding model, PAIR will connect institutions with AIM-AHEAD resources, AI/ML and health equity experts, and grant-writing coaches to help establish AI/ML Health Equity Research Labs that host cross-disciplinary teams for research projects and grant writing.

AIM-AHEAD PAIR Program Cohort 1 begins on September 15th, 2023.
