We encourage creativity, collaboration, and interdisciplinary thinking. The HHMI Investigator Program supports more than investigators, located at more than 60 research institutions across the United States, who are widely known for their scientific discoveries, their innovation, and their success in pushing the bounds of knowledge in biomedical research.
The Hanna H. Gray Fellows Program supports diversity in the biomedical research community by recruiting and retaining individuals from groups underrepresented in the life sciences. Fellows receive funding for their postdoctoral training and, if eligible, in their early career years as independent faculty.
Our integrated teams of lab scientists and tool-builders pursue a small number of scientific questions with potential for transformative impact.
The Medically Trained Scientists Program supports individuals at US institutions who are trained in medicine and are highly committed to basic, fundamental research in a biomedical discipline. The inaugural group of Faculty Scholars was named in HHMI and partners launched the International Research Scholar Program in , with an aim to develop outstanding early career scientists worldwide.
I am now an independent investigator with a research program focused on integrating chemical genomic, genetic, and proteomic approaches to discover new protein targets and lead compounds for cancer therapy.
My passion for science was forged during this year of dedicated research. As an independent investigator studying neural control of cardiac excitability, I can directly trace my scientific drive to my profoundly positive experiences during my HHMI medical fellowship year. In that year, I was able to dive deep into a research project and ultimately realized that I belonged in a laboratory setting answering questions about the genetic underpinnings of human disease.
Ultimately, I earned my MD and PhD and after completing a residency in clinical pathology, am now using functional genomic tools to identify targetable mechanisms underlying rare neurodevelopment disorders. The mentoring I have received, both through my primary mentor and through investigators I have met at HHMI meetings, has been invaluable. This year has provided me with the opportunity to merge my interest in basic science with my love of medicine and has definitely influenced my decision to pursue a research career.
Education Education HHMI believes every student and citizen can experience science in a meaningful way. Diversity Diversity HHMI is advancing academic science by creating opportunities for everyone to learn, contribute, and thrive. Home Programs. We invest in institutions including colleges, universities, and other organizations, and award grants and fellowships to faculty and students.
Equity results in inclusion, and inclusion makes real the power of diversity. We want all students — particularly those who have historically been excluded or underrepresented — to feel that they belong and can succeed in science. This is inclusive diversity. We believe that a diverse group of problem solvers is better positioned to find innovative solutions to complex challenges in science. The more difficult the problem, the greater the benefit of diversity in finding the solution.
