The a2 Collective represents the 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.
Effective September 2026, Yale University has assumed responsibility for the AITC Coordinating Center.
The first call for letters of intent (LOIs) for award competition is scheduled for release on Monday, October 19, 2026 (AITC-ARA-27-001 | AITC).
More information about 2026 competitions and upcoming events is available at the AITC Coordinating Center website.

The AITC program is funded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health.
America is getting older faster. By 2034, 77 million Americans will be 65 or older. They will make up the largest age demographic in the United States, outnumbering Americans under 18 for the first time ever.
The application of AI technologies will dramatically improve the health and quality of life of our nation’s aging population as well as drive innovation to our healthcare systems. The a2 Collective sits at the intersection of this once-in-a-generation opportunity.
The a2 Collective comprises three AITC Collaboratories centered at Johns Hopkins University (JH AITC), the University of Massachusetts Amherst (MassAITC), and the University of Pennsylvania (PennAITech) and the a2 Collective Coordinating Center managed by Rose Li and Associates, Inc. (RLA).
