Jameel Clinic Collaboration Grants: Request For Proposals
Unlocking the power of AI
The MIT Jameel Clinic AI & Health Summer Program is a rigorous 1-week program aimed at introducing inquisitive young minds (grades 10-12) to artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) methods used to improve the precision, efficiency, and speed of healthcare.
Curiosity
Drawing strength from MIT’s distinctive roots, we believe in learning by doing, and we blur the boundaries between disciplines as we seek to solve hard problems. Embracing the unconventional, we welcome quirkiness, nerdiness, creative irreverence, and play.
Excellence
MIT has been ranked as the no. 1 university in the world by the QS World University Rankings for 11 years straight.

The Jameel Clinic AI & Health Summer Program is provided at no cost to admitted students.
Students should be prepared to bring their personal laptops, but we are happy to provide loaner laptops to students.
4 / Will housing and transportation be provided?
The Jameel Clinic AI & Health Summer Program is not a residential program so we rely on parents to provide housing and transportation to and from the program. Ideally students will be coming from the Boston area (or somewhere close), so housing should not be an issue.
5 / How are students selected for the program?
Applicants should be incoming sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Students will be selected based on their interests and academic background. Students who are not admitted are encouraged to re-apply next year if not selected for this year's cohort.
All applicants who meet the eligibility requirements will be considered, regardless of gender, race, or ethnicity.
6 / Is there an attendance policy?
Students are required to attend class. Absence or inactivity within your course may result in a dismissal from the program. Students dismissed for reasons of absence or inactivity will not receive a certificate by the end of the course.
7 / What are your COVID-19 vaccination requirements for students studying in-person for Summer 2023?
The Institute has announced that effective May 11, 2023, Covid-19 vaccination will no longer be mandatory at MIT. Covid-19 vaccination will remain strongly encouraged for all participants in programs for minors after May 11, but will not be required.
