The AIM-AHEAD Hub-Specific Projects program was developed to advance the conduct of community-based participatory research (CBPR) using AI/ML to address and reduce challenges to healthcare.
Support projects using AI/ML to address real-world healthcare challenges.
Promote community participation and leadership in AI/ML research initiatives.
Produce preliminary findings that support larger-scale NIH grant applications.
This funding opportunity supported new stakeholders in AIM-AHEAD regional hubs to conduct small-scale research projects co-led by community-based organizational leaders and researchers from academic institutions.
Cohorts 2 & 3 of the AIM-AHEAD Hub-Specific Projects program have established and facilitated sustainable efforts enhancing community leadership in AI/ML research in order to accelerate the dissemination of study findings back to communities, and generate preliminary data to enhance the competitiveness of future larger-scale community-engaged NIH grant applications for AI/ML research applications.
