Two letters of support are required.
We are looking for Atlantic Fellows who demonstrate leadership potential and have a support network beyond the Global Brain Health Institute. Specifically, GBHI seeks applicants with robust support networks committed to the future career and ambition of the applicant on return to the Fellow's home community. These support networks may include current and past partners, institutions, organizations, employers and groups.
Therefore, at least one (1) letter of support should be from a current employer, institution, organization or group you have engaged with previously. We expect this letter to articulate support for the application and specifically address the applicant’s leadership potential. In addition, these letters should demonstrate a long-term commitment to supporting the applicant and their work after completion of the Atlantic Fellows for Equity in Brain Health program.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Applicants must independently contact their letter writers in advance to confirm they are willing to write a letter of support and able to submit it by the deadline. Once confirmed, the applicant should provide the letter writers’ contact information on the application. The letter writers will receive an automated email with link to submit the applicant’s letter of support immediately after the application is submitted. Applicants should independently communicate with their 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.
Please encourage letter writers to check their junk and spam folders in case the automated message gets filtered.
Applications will be considered incomplete unless all required materials have been submitted.
LETTERS OF SUPPORT DEADLINE: Letters must be submitted by OCTOBER 11 (11:59pm GMT +1).
Note for applicants who wish to be considered for the Fondation Alzheimer and GBHI Partnership for French Citizens: Please include one letter from your mentor in France, one letter from your department head, and two letters of support from outside your organization.
