Becoming an HHMI Scientist (for Potential Program Applicants)
HHMI's June 2026 live virtual event was a chance for early career scientists to learn more and ask questions about HHMI's upcoming competitions — the Freeman Hrabowski Scholars and Hanna H. Gray Fellows Programs (applications open Nov. 3, 2026), and the Gilliam Fellows Program (applications open Sept. 1, 2026) — which provide generous support to scientists from graduate training through the early faculty years. Featuring Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer Leslie Vosshall; Scientific Program Officers Josh Hall, Angela DePace, and Jose Faraldo-Gomez; and Senior Science Program Coordinator Adrielle Munger, the event covered everything from the details of each program to what HHMI looks for in candidates, and key elements of a strong application. Visit hhmi.org/programs to learn more, and stay connected via email (https://www.hhmi.org/newsletters) and social (below) for regular updates. _____ Follow HHMI https://www.instagram.com/hhmi_science/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/howard-hughes-medical-institute https://www.facebook.com/HowardHughesMed https://x.com/hhmi_science Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hhmi-science.bsky.social
