About
The AHEAD (Advancing Health Equity and Diversity) program was established in 2012 by the UW–Madison Collaborative Center for Health Equity (CCHE) in partnership with select career development programs associated with ICTR. In 2016, CCHE extended AHEAD to other health equity fellows on the UW campus, including recent alumni of the Health Equity Leadership Institute.
The AHEAD program seeks to address the gaps in professional support and training that postdoctoral scholars often experience by providing a cohort experience with supplemental mentoring. AHEAD participants can be from any department or unit across the UW campus, especially postdoctoral scholars whose research has a focus on health disparities and/or health equity. Dr. Erri Hewitt, AHEAD Program Lead, provides AHEAD scholars with mentoring and guidance.
