Kalamazoo College is the recipient of funding from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute to support students engaged in laboratory summer research projects. Any student currently in the First-Year, Sophomore, or Junior class who is planning a summer project with a research mentor off campus or with a Kalamazoo College faculty member in biomedical sciences is eligible to apply. 

Up to 10 students will receive support each summer for study in the United States. An additional 5 students may receive support for study with HHMI International Scholars. Each student selected to be part of the HHMI Undergraduate Research Program will receive a stipend and the research mentor will be provided with a supply budget.  

Students interested in conducting research in any area of natural science or mathematics are urged to apply. The selection committee will be especially interested in projects that involve work at the interface between two scientific disciplines. No minimum GPA is required for this award, but the committee will be interested in the GPA in the sciences and mathematics.  

Application (April 13, 2007 deadline).

Awards are announced in May.
