Abstract

Inter-institutional team collaboration is critical for impactful multidisciplinary AI research in healthcare. The goal of our project (AIM-AHEAD Connect) is to increase multidisciplinary collaborations by connecting AI/ML experts and healthcare researchers, trainees and professionals to enhance research and improve health for all Americans. As of February 2026, AIM-AHEAD Connect has over 10,100 AI/ML and healthcare experts from across 2,400 institutions, has made more than 7,800 connections and facilitated 194 collaborative online groups. We conducted a unique study to understand collaboration, and analyzed profile, connection, and platform engagement metrics to determine if AI experts and healthcare researchers with more inter-institutional connections are more successful in obtaining research and training funding. By creating this bridge to foster collaborations between AI/ML experts and healthcare professionals, this project has created a unique space to enhance healthcare outcomes for all.
