We are inviting UC San Diego faculty to apply to become affiliates of the Jacobs Center for Health Innovation (JCHI). The purpose of the faculty affiliate program is for us to work closely with faculty members to co-develop innovations that align with health system priorities and support faculty academic interests. Through collaboration, our faculty affiliate program will help us broaden our collective impact in improving healthcare through innovation.

What are the benefits to becoming a JCHI faculty affiliate?

Faculty affiliates will receive access to the JCHI AI platform and digital health tools required to carry out projects within the scope of the collaboration. Faculty affiliates will also receive access to JCHI expertise in navigating the health system processes required to develop and implement innovations within the health system. Faculty affiliates will be recognized on our website as formal collaborators with the Center.

What are the expectations for faculty affiliates?

Faculty affiliates will be expected to lead an initiative identified as a shared priority between the faculty member and JCHI. Faculty affiliates will be asked to include their JCHI affiliation on publications and grants related to the shared work.

How do I apply to become a faculty affiliate?

To apply, please send an email to chi@​health.​ucsd.​edu with your name, your CV and/​or biosketch, the health system issue you would like to tackle through innovation, and a brief description of your idea.
