Collaboration
Why an Academic Partnership Model?
- Access to State-of-the-art AI computing capacity: Over 700 petaflops of computing using the latest NVIDIA H100s.
- Access to world-class research expertise: Experts from AI/ML, Data Science &Engineering, Clinical and Public Health, &Real-world Implementation Science.
- Unbiased Evaluation: Academic integrity ensures unbiased assessment of AI models.
- Open Source & Publishing: Promotes broader innovation and transparency through shared research.
- Ethical Standards: Ensures AI adheres to high ethical standards, protecting privacy and fairness.
Our goal is to become a National Science Foundation Industry University Cooperative Research Center.
AHeAD follows the well-established NSF IUCRC program framework to accelerate the development of critical technologies from early-stage research to the marketplace.
The center brings 40+ researchers, HIPAA-compliant, state-of-the-art AI infrastructure, and a network of public, private, and nonprofit health organizations. The center will produce well-validated open AI models, tools, and datasets and help create a well-trained AI workforce for healthcare.
