Medical Research Fellows Program
YEAR-LONG PROGRAM
Two options to immerse yourself in a year of research:
Conduct research at any academic or nonprofit institution in the U.S., except the NIH, or at K-RITH in South Africa. For the fellowships in the U.S., you choose your own mentor and develop your basic, translational, or applied research project. For the year of research in South Africa, you may work with selected mentors at K-RITH.
Plus, our partnership initiatives with other funders support fellowship research in specific areas:
- Basic research on TB or HIV in South Africa (K-RITH);
- Inherited retinal degenerative disease research (Foundation Fighting Blindness);
- Duchenne muscular dystrophy research (Duchenne Research Fund);
- Preclinical research in interventional radiology (Society of Interventional Radiology Foundation);
- Epilepsy research (CURE-Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy); and
- Veterinary student research (Burroughs Wellcome Fund).
Learn more about the year-long program at academic and nonprofit research institutions:

Work at HHMI's Janelia Farm Research Campus.
If you are interested in neuronal networking and/or imaging at the cellular and molecular level, you should explore the Medical Research Fellows at Janelia option.

Since first applying for an HHMI fellowship more than ten years ago, I've believed that the hybrid position offers unique and rewarding opportunities…The patients in my clinical program motivate me to research the mechanisms of brain-tumor development, and my laboratory research addresses basic questions about the human brain and brain tumors.…
