HHMI-NIH RESEARCH SCHOLARS AT THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH 
Since 1985 the Howard Hughes Medical Insti- 
tute-National Institutes of Health Research Scholars 
Program has provided 271 U.S. medical students 
with the opportunity to experience a year of bio- 
medical research at NIH under the tutelage of senior 
NIH investigators. 
The program offers students a variety of unique 
advantages, including the ability to select a precep- 
tor and research project after arrival at NIH; choice 
of a preceptor from 1,100 tenured intramural scien- 
tists in 287 laboratories working on over 2,500 re- 
search projects; educational enrichment at NIH 
through attendance at lectures, seminars, and pre- 
sentations by renowned scientists; and collegiality 
with their peers while living at the Cloister, a resi- 
dential and teaching facility on the NIH campus.

Applications to the 1992-1993 program in- 
creased 45% over the prior year; a total of 1 33 appli- 
cations were received from 66 medical schools. 
From these applicants, a panel of senior NIH and 
HHMI scientists selected 72 students to be inter- 
viewed in Bethesda, Maryland. Forty-one students 
were accepted to the program, representing 2 1 med- 
ical schools. Five schools were represented for the 
first time: Bowman Gray School of Medicine of Wake 
Forest University, Brown University, the University 
of Hawaii, Saint Louis University, and the University 
of California at Irvine. In addition, nine students 
from the 1991-1992 class were approved to stay for 
a second year of scientific research. The current 
class of 50 scholars includes 18 women and 6 un- 
derrepresented minority students.
