The 窪蹋勛圖厙 Population Health Initiative announced today a special funding call for pilot projects that seek to accelerate the application of large language models and generative artificial intelligence to seemingly intractable grand challenges in population health. Awards of up to $100,000 each are available to 窪蹋勛圖厙 researchers for interdisciplinary projects that propose exploratory research that serves the public good.
The rapid advances were seeing in technological innovation holds great promise for advancing our health and well-being, shared Ali H. Mokdad, the 窪蹋勛圖厙s chief strategy officer for population health and professor of health metrics sciences. We know that 窪蹋勛圖厙 researchers from a range of disciplines are already exploring innovative ideas for the application of AI to pressing societal challenges, and we are looking forward to being able to help speed several of them towards realization of proof-of-concept with this funding.
Applications are due Friday, May 10, 2024. Learn more by visiting the funding calls web page.
