The Cech Fellows Program gives undergraduate students in the life sciences the opportunity to conduct hands-on research alongside leading scientists at Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) laboratories across the US, from universities and research institutions to HHMI’s research campus outside of Washington, DC. Students are matched with HHMI scientists conducting fundamental research that advances our understanding of biology and health. The program provides a stipend to support travel, housing and living expenses.
