Funding Opportunities
Gilliam Fellows Program
The HHMI Gilliam Fellows Program launches promising PhD students into impactful scientific research careers while fostering inclusive training environments. The program is unique in supporting both graduate students and their faculty thesis advisors as mentor-mentee pairs. Fellows receive up to three years of stipend support during their PhD training, along with a discretionary allowance, and have the opportunity to participate in professional development programming and join HHMI's broader scientific community of peers, alumni, and researchers across career stages. Following completion of their graduate work, Gilliam PhD Fellows with a strong interest in pursuing a career in academic science may apply for additional postdoctoral salary and research support to become Gilliam Postdoc Fellows. The program fosters a cohesive community that supports scientific growth, effective mentorship, and the development of inclusive research environments in which all scientists can thrive.
Hanna H. Gray Fellows Program
The Hanna H. Gray Fellows Program is a transformational award for postdoctoral scientists who show exceptional promise as future leaders in academic science, advancing foundational discoveries while fostering inclusive scientific cultures. In addition to financial support, Hanna Gray Fellows join the vibrant, multigenerational HHMI community, where they learn from experts and each other as they build creative and effective research environments. The program is now entering a new phase, joining with the Freeman Hrabowski Scholars Program to amplify their shared mission. Together, these efforts will strengthen support for postdocs seeking faculty roles, and provide long-term resources to new faculty as they establish their labs. Under this new structure, Hanna Gray Fellows will receive up to two years of postdoctoral support, and up to ten years of faculty support as Freeman Hrabowski Scholars. The program provides support for individuals' postdoctoral training and helps to ensure a smooth transition to faculty positions at eligible institutions.
