HHMI-GBMF Investigators

Despite the central role plants play in maintaining human health and in healthcare, basic research in the plant sciences has long been underfunded in the United States. HHMI and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation are collaborating on a new program to boost support for plant scientists at a critical time. The HHMI-GBMF investigators—some of the nation's most innovative plant scientists—are conducting research on a variety of plants, such as wheat, maize, tomato, Arabidopsis, moss, and algae. The investigators will receive, over five years, the flexible support necessary to move their research into creative new directions.
