GRANT/AWARD ANNOUNCEMENTS

us about it.
Applications Invited for Howard Hughes
Medical Institute
Investigator Competition
Deadline: June
13, 2007
The Howard
Hughes Medical Institute (
http://www.hhmi.org/
) has announced a national
competition for the appointment of
outstanding scientists as HHMI
investigators. The competition will enable
HHMI to strengthen its community of
researchers and bring innovative approaches
to the study of biological problems not only
in the biomedical disciplines but also in
related fields, including but not limited to
chemistry, physics and biophysics,
biomedical engineering, and computational
biology.
The competition
is open to early career stage scientists at
approximately two hundred eligible
institutions. HHMI expects to appoint
approximately fifty new investigators who
will be among the most creative and
promising in the United States.
Applicants must
have a doctoral degree; hold a tenured or
tenure-track position as assistant professor
or higher academic rank at one of the
eligible institutions, or, if at an eligible
institution that has no tenure track, hold
an appointment that reflects a significant
institutional commitment; have between four
and ten years of experience since first
appointed as an assistant professor or
equivalent position; and be the principle
investigator on one or more active,
national, peer-reviewed research grants that
provide at least three years of support.
Federal
government employees are not eligible.
Appointees
become full-time employees of HHMI and are
appointed for a five-year renewable period.
In a change
from previous competitions, HHMI will place
no restrictions on the number of
applications from any eligible institution.
Also, researchers with faculty appointments
will apply directly; prior institutional
endorsement will not be part of the
application process.
Visit the HHMI
Web site for complete program information,
list of eligible institutions, and
application materials.
