HHMI-NIH RESEARCH SCHOLARS AT THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH 
The Howard Hughes Medical Institute-National 
Institutes of Health Research Scholars Program for 
medical students was initiated in the summer of 
1985. Students at medical schools in the United 
States apply for the program in the autumn of the 
preceding year; after initial review by HHMI-NIH 
Program Committee members, about two-thirds are 
brought for interview to the NIH in March. Those 
selected are invited to join the program. After ac- 
ceptance the students select an area of research in- 
terest from the five HHMI programs: Cell Biology 
and Regulation, Genetics, Immunology, Neurosci- 
ence, or Structural Biology. Prior to arrival in 
Bethesda, the student is assigned to a Senior Scien- 
tist of the NIH in the scholar's area of interest, who 
serves as an advisor. Each student begins the aca- 
demic year by interviewing with a number of NIH 
scientists, from which the student selects a research 
preceptor for the ensuing year. In the summer of 
1989, 34 students from 23 medical schools began 
their research. They were joined by 11 students 
from the previous group, who are continuing for a 
second year of work on the recommendation of 
their preceptors.
