Basic Information

The national a2 Pilot Awards competition is hosted annually by the a2 Collective and funded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health, through the Artificial Intelligence and Technology Collaboratories (AITC) for Aging Research program.

NIA has earmarked $40 million to fund demonstration technology projects that utilize artificial intelligence (AI) approaches and technology to improve care and health outcomes for older Americans, including persons with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD) and their caregivers. Selected existing awardees are listed here.

The AI/Tech + Aging Pilot Awards (a2 Pilot Awards) is a national competition hosted by the a2 Collective and funded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) through its Artificial Intelligence and Technology Collaboratories for Aging Research (AITC) program.
The NIA has earmarked $40 million over the next 5 years to fund demonstration projects that utilize artificial intelligence approaches and technology to improve care and health outcomes for older Americans, including persons with Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementia (AD/ADRD) and their caregivers.

We share a2 Collective videos (e.g., webinars, call for applications) in this youtube channel.

The a2 Collective represents the National Institute on Aging (NIA) Artificial Intelligence and Technology Collaboratories (AITC) for Aging Research program, which is dedicated to helping Americans live longer, healthier lives through the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies. The a2 Collective comprises three AITCs centered at Johns Hopkins University, the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and the University of Pennsylvania and the a2 Collective Coordinating Center managed by Rose Li & Associates, Inc.

The a2 Collective is organizing a national symposium to be held on March 8, 2023, in Baltimore, MD, on the campus of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
