HHMI 
Undergraduate Research Awardees 
and Their Activities

In September 2006 the Undergraduate Biological Sciences Education Program of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute awarded the University of Delaware its fourth major four-year grant to support a variety of initiatives including undergraduate research. The goal of this initiative is to encourage the participation of undergraduates in active research programs relating to the biomedical sciences.  Students receiving support are listed below. Students receiving support from the previous HHMI grants (1998-2002) (2003-2006) are available at the linked sites.
