Designed for emerging leaders, the fellowship provides education, mentorship, leadership development, and lifelong global connections. Fellows strengthen their expertise while learning alongside clinicians, researchers, artists, public health professionals, policymakers, educators, and advocates from around the world.
Atlantic Fellows complete their fellowship year at one of two sites: Trinity College Dublin or the University of California, San Francisco. While both programs share a common mission, values, and commitment to advancing brain health equity, each offers a distinct learning experience shaped by its institutional strengths.
GBHI at Trinity offers a full-time, in-person fellowship in Dublin, emphasizing a life-course approach to brain health and the social determinants that influence dementia risk throughout life.
GBHI at UCSF offers a global hybrid fellowship that combines interactive online learning, international in-person workshops, and flexible opportunities to engage with the UCSF Fein Memory and Aging Center. Fellows gain exposure to world-leading clinical care, research, and interdisciplinary education while remaining connected to their home institutions and communities.
Applicants may apply to one fellowship site per application cycle and are encouraged to choose the program that best aligns with their professional goals and preferred learning experience.
