Note: Respondents with outdated versions of iOS/Android may experience issues when displaying the form.

Letters of Support

Submission of the online application and letters of support is a multi-step process. Once you submit your application form, letter writers will receive an automated email with a link to submit their letter. PLEASE NOTE: The contacts you include for the letters of support will only be notified after you submit your application, so be sure to submit your application far ahead of the deadline, as letters need to be received before the application deadline.

 

Two letters of support are required. Applicants are advised to request letters of support from their letter writers early. Applicants are responsible for contacting their preferred letter writers directly and must confirm: 
  • They are willing to write a letter and can submit it online by the deadline. 
  • Their correct email address which is required for this application form. 
  • They understand the Letter Writer Guidelines for Letters of Support.
  • You should request that they complete a draft of the letter when you initially request it from them, as they will only receive the link to submit their letter after you submit your application.

Applicants should independently communicate with their letter writers as to when they should expect to receive the link and confirm that they have received the link after the application has been submitted.  

Applications will be considered incomplete unless all required materials have been submitted by the deadline.


Fondation Alzheimer Partnership

Applicants who wish to be considered for the Fondation Alzheimer and GBHI Partnership for French Citizens will need to provide four letters: one letter from your mentor in France, one letter from your department head, and two letters of support from outside your organization. Partnership-specific questions will appear after the country of citizenship has been indicated



GBHI Site Locations


The Atlantic Fellows for Equity in Brain Health program is hosted at Trinity College Dublin (Trinity) and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Both sites share a commitment to advancing equity in brain health and follow common program competencies while drawing on their unique local and institutional strengths. Fellows at Trinity complete a full-time, in-person fellowship based in Dublin. Fellows at UCSF complete a part-time, global hybrid fellowship that blends weekly online learning with international in-person sessions and optional visits to San Francisco. While both programs share the same core structure and values, they are locally delivered, reflecting each site’s expertise and context. Applicants must only apply to one site for the fellowship-year experience. Learn more about these site opportunities.
