Freeman Hrabowski Scholars Program

Howard Hughes Medical Institute

Program Overview

Following HHMI’s philosophy of supporting “people, not projects,” the Freeman Hrabowski Scholars competition is open to all early career faculty at eligible US institutions with PhD and/or MD degrees who conduct research within a broad range of the life sciences. For the duration of their appointment, Scholars will have freedom to change their research focus within these areas, following their scientific curiosity.

Freeman Hrabowski Scholars will be employed by HHMI and will maintain an academic appointment and lab at their research institutions, like HHMI Investigators. Scholars will be appointed to a five-year term as an HHMI lab head, renewable for one additional five-year term following a successful progress evaluation. Scholars will receive generous and flexible support from HHMI, including full salary and benefits, a research budget of approximately $2 million over the first five years, and eligibility to participate in HHMI capital equipment purchasing programs.

Freeman Hrabowski Scholars will prioritize scientific excellence in their own research, while fostering an inclusive lab environment and becoming role models of inclusive lab leadership. Scholars will attract, support, and train undergraduates, PhD, MD, and MD/PhD students, and postdoctoral fellows in their labs.

Scholars will be required to spend at least 80 percent of their time on their research; the remainder may be spent on related professional activities such as teaching, academic service, patient care, and consulting (subject to HHMI’s consulting policies). Through this approach, this program seeks to support both current and future generations of scientists. In addition, the program aims to protect Scholars’ time by directly incorporating diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts into the work of trainee mentorship and the active conduct of research.

Scholars will participate in professional development to advance their leadership and mentorship skills. In addition, Scholars will become part of HHMI’s broader community, joining and contributing to scientific meetings and events alongside HHMI Investigators, Janelia Research Campus Group Leaders, Hanna Gray Fellows, Gilliam Fellows, and others representing a range of career stages.
