In collaboration with UCLA, The Warren Alpert Foundation funded $4,611,666 towards their project titled,” Warren Alpert UCLA Computational Biology/ AI (CBAI) Scholar Training and Retention Program.” With a shortage of qualified individuals in the field of Computational Biology/ Artificial Intelligence, UCLA created a program to provide individuals with more training and education to further their skills with the goal of paving a career to enter the field of CBAI via healthcare industry and/or academics. UCLA will develop a training program that will transition from part time to full time in order to offer support to full time students and full-time working professionals that can be completed within 1-2 years. The project also has a Scholars Continuing Education program that is a shorter timeframe for experts in all stages of their career and networking opportunities to advance their career.
