OVPR and Foundation Relations will host an information session for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Investigator program on January 17, 2023, 3-4:30 pm, in University Hall, Ruthven Administration Building. VPR Rebecca Cunningham will offer opening remarks. Maureen Martin, Executive Director of Foundation Relations, will present an overview of the rigorous HHMI application and interview processes.
The prestigious HHMI Investigator program is offered every three years and provides long-term funding to scientists who push the boundaries of fundamental science. The competition is open to researchers in basic and biomedical sciences, plant biology, evolutionary biology, biophysics, chemical biology, biomedical engineering, and computational biology. Eligible faculty will be tenured or tenure-track, between 5 and 15 years post-training experience, and a PI on one or more active, national, peer-reviewed grants.
Program applications are due to HHMI by 3 pm ET on March 21, 2023.
