International Student
Research Fellowships
HHMI's new fellowship program supports outstanding international predoctoral students studying in the United States who are ineligible for fellowships or training grants through U.S. federal agencies.
HHMI will award three-year fellowships to international students to support years three, four, and five of a Ph.D. program. Eligible biomedical-related fields include biology, chemistry, physics, math, computer science, engineering, and plant biology—as well as interdisciplinary research.
HHMI expects to fund up to 40 fellowships for the 2011-2012 academic year. Each fellow will receive an annual stipend of $30,000, plus an educational allowance.
The 2011 competition is now closed.
AWARD LETTERS HAVE BEEN SENT BY FEDEX and should arrive at the address listed on the application by Friday, June 10th.
Emails to those who did not receive an award will also be sent Friday, June 10th. Please wait until Monday, June 13th before emailing predoc@hhmi.org with questions. Application feedback for specific applications will not be provided, though application feedback relevant to all applications is posted below.
