ASSOCIATE FACULTY

The Associate Faculty program aims to foster connections between Ariadne-affiliated researchers to promote collaboration in health systems innovation research. Through community activities, including scientific research meetings and affinity groups, Ariadne’s Spark Grant program, and an online forum, the Associate Faculty program empowers members to share and develop leading-edge ideas and produce high impact results.

Serving as an Associate Faculty member involves both opportunities and responsibilities. Faculty are appointed for renewable one-year terms and are invited and expected to be significantly engaged in the Ariadne Labs community by:

  • regularly attending scientific research meetings
  • inviting others to the meetings and suggesting speakers
  • engaging in and helping to develop other Ariadne Labs activities (such as affinity groups, new collaborative projects, education and outreach initiatives)
  • presenting novel high-impact ideas for seed funding through Ariadne’s Spark Grant program

Eligibility

Associate Faculty membership consists of academic and non-academic public health leaders and innovators who are all interested in improving health and health care.
