Internal coordination required ~ each invited institution may nominate up to two candidates
The Howard Hughes Medical Institute Professors competition is intended to stimulate, support, and empower accomplished research scientists in conveying the excitement and values of scientific research to undergraduate education and to apply their innovations to advancing science education. Additional goals of the program are to introduce graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to the challenges and rewards of mentoring undergraduates and to develop a cadre of scientist-educators around the country who are leaders in research and excel in undergraduate teaching. The University of Mississippi was first invited to submit HHMI nominations in 2005.
