HHMI Gilliam Fellows Program

Howard Hughes Medical Institute

The HHMI Gilliam Fellows Program is an early career initiative that supports PhD students and their faculty advisors as they pursue ambitious science and build inclusive training environments. The program is unique in supporting both graduate students and their faculty PhD advisors as mentor-mentee pairs.

Gilliam Fellows receive up to three years of stipend support and a discretionary allowance during their PhD training, along with professional development programming tailored to both students and advisors. Through HHMI Science Meetings and the Gilliam Annual Meeting, Fellows join a thriving scientific community that spans disciplines and career stages .

Gilliam PhD Fellows interested in pursuing an academic research career may apply for four additional years of postdoctoral support as Gilliam Postdoc Fellows. This phase considers graduate research accomplishments, career aspirations, and the suitability of the proposed training environment, and includes tailored professional development to support Fellows' progression toward independent academic research careers.

Across both phases, the Gilliam Fellows Program fosters a cohesive community committed to scientific growth, effective mentorship, and inclusive research environments in which all scientists can thrive.
