The Center for Alzheimer’s and Related Dementias (CARD), a newly formed center at the National Institute on Aging (NIA) and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), is now recruiting for an exciting Masters of Professional Studies (MPS) in Data Science Fellowship.

Data science is the future of the study and treatment of disease. The amount and types of data we collect to better understand Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias have exploded. Imagine terabytes of data about the genome, expressed proteins, disease symptoms, and related medical history… of a single patient.

We need young innovators in big data analysis, data visualization, and machine learning to put this massive amount of disparate data to work. We need the help of data scientists of different genders, races, and ethnicities to ensure we are asking questions and pursuing solutions that will help all people affected by Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.

CARD’s MPS in Data Science Fellowship is a unique opportunity for students to build a career in biomedical data science and advance dementia research for the greater good. In this two-year program, students take required and elective courses in computer and data science, coding, machine learning, big data processing, data analysis and visualization, artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, genomics, neuroscience, and more.

Accepted Fellows are paid based on a full-time position at CARD while completing coursework to earn a paid MPS in Data Science from the University of Maryland at Baltimore (UMBC).

While working at CARD, fellowship awardees will gain foundational knowledge in data analysis and data management through collaborative instruction and training rotations. Students will be afforded the opportunity to work with experts in the field using real data curated at CARD.

  • Categorize this database to coincide with the languages of the Ambassadors’ nations.

  • Collaborate with NIGH’s language ‘Advisors’ in each instance.
  • Craft letters and emails to inform these Ambassadors and their staff.
  • Request willing Ambassadors to officially share these efforts with their colleagues and nations — including with their nations’ nurses — and on NIGH’s webpages—featuring each of the eleven Nightingale Declaration language versions.
  • Identify initial Schools of Nursing from UN Member States to represent nations where these eleven languages are spoken.
  • Collaborate with initial Deans and Professors of these Schools to assign their student nurses to post related stories.
  • Keep UN Ambassadors and their staffs — as well as key UN  Secretariat leaders and their staffs — informed as UN SDG stories are posted on NIGH’s website.
