Every year through the department of Zoology, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute will fund a certain number of students interested in research in the life sciences for two years. If you are awarded as a Howard Hughes Research Scholar, HHMI will pay you a stipend throughout the school year and during the summer so you can get research experience. Students generally apply during their sophomore year, as this is a 2-year contract with HHMI. This is an excellent opportunity for students interested in undergraduate research, and HHMI will also fund for you to go to various research symposia so you can display your research along with fellow undergraduate researchers. If you are already working in a lab, I encourage you to talk to your Principal Investigator about possibly applying for this great opportunity.
