YEAR-LONG PROGRAM AT JANELIA
Research and Mentors

RESEARCH AT JANELIA

HHMI's Janelia Farm Research Campus is a unique, state-of-the-art research complex where scientists from diverse disciplines collaborate on some of science's most challenging problems: identifying the basic rules and mechanisms of the brain's information-processing system and developing optical, biological, and computational technologies for creating and interpreting biological images.

MENTOR MATCHING

In the prescreening portion of the application, you will discuss your research interests and the research focus areas you would be interested in pursuing at Janelia. If you are selected to interview at Janelia, you will meet with prospective mentors and explore potential projects. If your application progresses past the interview stage, you will develop a research proposal with your Janelia mentor to submit with the remainder of your Medical Fellows Program application.

The Janelia option is very selective so you should have an alternative mentor and project in mind at another fellowship institution. If your application does not move forward to the interview process or beyond, you are strongly encouraged to complete the standard Medical Research Fellows Program application by January 11.
