The Howard Hughes Medical Institute's undergraduate and international programs have collaborated over the past several years to facilitate the placement of undergraduates from HHMI grantee institutions in the laboratories of HHMI International Research Scholars. They offer these placements to provide enriching experiences for students with leading scientists in other countries, and in laboratories where English is spoken.

Alternate Description

From the National Association of Fellowships Advisors

The Howard Hughes Medical Institute will award at least 80 five-year fellowships for full-time study toward a Ph.D. or an Sc.D. degree in the biological sciences. The fellowships are intended for students who have completed less than one year of graduate study toward an M.S., a Ph.D., or an Sc.D. degree in the biological sciences. Students who hold or are pursuing medical or dental degrees (M.D., D.O., D.V.M., D.D.S.) may also be eligible to apply for fellowship support for study toward a Ph.D. or an Sc.D.

How to Apply

Students interested in summer placement opportunities should choose up to five scientists from among the entire list of 127 Scholars on their website and contact the Clark Science Center or Associate Director Christian Lagier (clagier@email.smith.edu) to begin the application process.
