*Reminder* Fostering Connections in AI and Health (5/8/24)

Posted: 4/26/2024 ()

This is a friendly reminder that the Population Health Initiative is co-hosting a spring quarter Open Space-style event, “Fostering Connections in AI and Health,” on Wednesday, May 8, 2024, from 10 a.m. -1 p.m. in the UW Husky Union Building (HUB), room 145. The goal of this gathering is to help facilitate new collaborations between UW faculty researchers who are interested in applying generative AI and large language models to pressing health challenges. Those who attend will set the agenda for discussion, offering to convene discussions on possible topics or projects where collaboration is sought. The formal program will be followed by a more informal networking lunch. Please RSVP to help us count you in.  

The Population Health Initiative is also announcing a special spring quarter funding call for pilot projects that seek to accelerate the application of large language models and generative artificial intelligence to seemingly intractable grand challenges in population health. Awards of up to $100,000 each are available to UW researchers for interdisciplinary projects that propose exploratory research that serves the public good. Applications are due Friday, May 10, 2024. Learn more by visiting the funding call’s web page. 

This event is in partnership with the UW Tacoma Office of Research, UW Tacoma School of Engineering & Technology, UW Tacoma School of Nursing and Healthcare & Leadership, UW Seattle School of Medicine Department of Biomedical Informatics and Medical Education, School of Nursing Department of Biobehavioral Nursing & Health Informatics, Institute for Medical Data Science, Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship, and UW Bothell Office of Sponsored Research.
