HHMI Investigators
Note: This is not a limited submission and is being announced as a courtesy only.
The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) is seeking creative and innovative scientists to join its Investigator Program. Through this competition, HHMI will expand our community of basic researchers and physician scientists across the nation who catalyze discovery research in basic and biomedical sciences, plant biology, evolutionary biology, biophysics, chemical biology, biomedical engineering, and computational biology.
The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) is announcing a national open competition to appoint approximately 25 new Investigators. This effort will expand HHMI’s community of more than 260 Investigators who perform basic biological research at about 60 research institutions across the nation.
Each HHMI Investigator will receive roughly $8 million over a seven-year term, which is renewable pending favorable scientific review. HHMI encourages Investigators to push their research fields into new areas of inquiry.
The HHMI Investigator Program competition is open to basic researchers and physician scientists from more than 300 eligible institutions who catalyze research in basic and biomedical sciences, plant biology, evolutionary biology, biophysics, chemical biology, biomedical engineering, and computational biology.

Inquiries and Contact Information
Investigators who identify a grant, award or fellowship program that restricts the number of applications that can be submitted from an Institution should immediately contact their Chairperson, Associate Dean for Research (or Dean, if no ADR) and the Office of Research (see below) if they intend to prepare a response. Failure to do so, or to meet the deadlines for submission of pre-proposal, will preclude submission of the application through the Office of Sponsored Programs.
