Through the HHMI Professors competition, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute is inviting applications from scientist-educators with innovative ideas for transforming science education.
Up to fifteen scientist-educators will be awarded $1 million over five years to create activities that integrate their research with student learning in ways that enhance undergraduate students' understanding of science. In addition, newly appointed HHMI Professors will become permanent members of the Society of HHMI Professors, a community of scholars who share ideas and collaborate to improve science education.
Awardees must be established, well-respected scientists who are in a position to impact their colleagues and academic departments and who are deeply committed to making science more engaging for undergraduates.
Prospective applicants must establish their eligibility by June 4, 2013, with applications to be completed by July 16, 2013. A panel of distinguished scientists and educators will review the proposals, and finalists will be invited to present their proposed activities at a symposium in May 2014. HHMI will announce the awardees in summer 2014.
