  • NIH Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Consortium to Advance Health Equity and Researcher Diversity (AIM-AHEAD) Program

    The AIM-AHEAD program, an initiative of the National Institutes of Health, is a groundbreaking effort aimed at building mutually beneficial partnerships and advancing the representation of underrepresented researchers and communities in the development of AI/ML models. Ritu Agarwal and Guodong (Gordon) Gao, Co-Directors of the Center for Digital Health and AI (CDHAI), serve as principal investigators for the Data Science Training Core (DSTC) of AIM-AHEAD. Additionally, Dr. Gao is a faculty leader for the AIM-AHEAD Program for AI Readiness (PAIR), alongside Dr. Jamboor Vishwanatha, Dr. Toufeeq Syed and Dr. Harlan Jones. The PAIR program seeks to improve AI readiness for under-resourced institutions by leveraging AIM-AHEAD resources to jump-start AI for health equity research and grant writing, and by establishing institutional bonding with AIM-AHEAD via AI/ML Health Equity Research Labs to generate knowledge for AI success.
