Please email:
Are there any academic requirements for acceptance?
We do not require any specific level of education; however, we typically require that applicants have completed a “terminal degree/training,” meaning they have pursued the highest degree or training they wish to obtain in their particular field.
Do I need an international certificate in English?
The program does not require documentation of English language capacity. Strong proficiency in written and spoken English is important for success in the program.
Who should write my letters of support?
GBHI requires applicants to supply two letters of support demonstrating support for the applicant’s career goals and long-term commitment to work in their communities and globally. At least one of your letters of support should be from a current or former employer, institution, organization, or group.
How will receipt of my application be confirmed?
Once your online application is submitted, you will receive an automated acknowledgment email.
Are late applications accepted?
No, we do not accept late applications. Please ensure that your application and all letters of support are received prior to the application deadline. Please note that you must submit your application in order for your letter writers to receive the links for them to upload their letters of support, so we encourage applicants to submit their applications as early as possible.
If I am accepted, can I defer until next year?
Deferrals are not accepted for the Atlantic Fellows for Equity in Brain Health program. Please apply for the year you plan to participate. There is no limit to the number of times you can apply. If your circumstances change and you cannot commit to the training year, including travel, you must withdraw. However, withdrawing does not prevent you from reapplying in the future; we encourage you to apply again when you can fully commit to the program, including travel and academic components.
If I am denied from one site, can I apply to the other?
No. Applicants can apply to only one site per application cycle.
Do fellows receive compensation?
Fellows participating in the full-time, in-person program based in Dublin receive a salary to support their engagement.
Is housing provided?
Fellows are responsible for securing their own housing in Dublin.
Can I bring my family?
Fellows may relocate with their families at their own expense and must arrange visas as needed.
When does the program commence?
The program begins in late August annually.
How much of a time commitment is the program?
The program is full-time (approximately 39 hours per week) for one year.
What happens after the year-long program?
Beyond graduation, fellows join a growing community of transformative leaders, from the seven interconnected Atlantic Fellows programs, who are inspiring positive change around the world. GBHI is committed to strengthening this lifelong fellowship community by providing avenues for growth and leadership.
