Science Around the World
Through its International Program, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute seeks to support individual scientists of the highest quality in their home countries and to join them with each other and with other scientists in the HHMI community to create an international network of scientific excellence. The Institute's support of these leaders in their home countries aims to encourage the most creative researchers, to help disseminate their work, and to strengthen their research environments and educational opportunities.
Please note that the programs described below will conclude by the end of 2011. HHMI is in the preliminary stage of planning a new international initiative.
International Research Scholars Program
This HHMI initiative supports promising non-U.S. scientists who are contributing significantly to the understanding of basic biological processes or disease mechanisms but whose careers are still developing. Grants are awarded through competitions for scientists working in specific countries or specific research areas.
Currently, HHMI supports scientists working in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Israel, Lithuania, Mali, Mexico, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, Uruguay, and Venezuela.
European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO)
An HHMI grant to EMBO supports a program to help launch the careers of promising molecular biologists in countries in which EMBO funding and HHMI funding (through its International Research Scholars Program) overlap. Funds support the young scientists' research and networking opportunities.
