Dear Dr. Burgess,

The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the Simons Foundation would like to call your attention to a joint national competition for grants to outstanding early career scientists as Faculty Scholars. Awardees will receive a five-year, non-renewable grant whose size will be based on several factors, including the amount of external funding the scientist has at the time of the grant. The grants will range from $100,000 to $400,000 per year for direct costs. There are no limits on the number of applicants or awardees from any eligible institution<http://www.hhmi.org/sites/default/files/Programs/Scholars/eligible-institutions-faculty-scholars.pdf>, and candidates apply directly without an institutional nomination. Both basic researchers and physician scientists are welcome in this open competition. HHMI, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the Simons Foundation encourage applications from women and minorities under-represented in the biomedical and biological sciences. For more information, including eligibility criteria, see www.hhmi.org/faculty-scholars<http://www.hhmi.org/faculty-scholars>.


We appreciate your help in distributing this announcement to departmental colleagues and others at your institution to whom this may be of interest. Please direct questions to facultyscholars at hhmi.org<mailto:facultyscholars at hhmi.org>.

With best regards,
Erin K. O’Shea
Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer Howard Hughes Medical Institute
