IMPORTANT NOTES -
To save your progress, select the checkbox (“save my progress and resume later) at the top of the application page and enter an email and password. To return to a previously saved application, enter the same email and password. Consider writing your statements of purpose in a separate document and transferring the text to the application. Note: Respondents with outdated versions of iOS/Android may experience issues when displaying the form.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
While much of the core Atlantic Fellows program at GBHI is a shared experience between the founding sites, Trinity College Dublin (Trinity) and University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), there are specific opportunities at Trinity and UCSF that may be aligned with your specific training and career goals. Applicants must select one site for the fellowship-year experience on the application. Learn more about these site opportunities.
Data Policy
GBHI will share data entered into this portal as part of the application process electronically with staff and faculty at the University of California, San Francisco, Trinity College Dublin, and the Fondation Alzheimer.
Application data will be stored and should an applicant be successful, it will be used to support the fellow’s journey throughout the fellowship program and beyond. This data may also be used to support internal programmatic evaluations (i.e. generation of metrics related to applications over time).
