Join the Office of Faculty Development for a Q&A session regarding the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Freeman Hrabowski Program. The discussion will cover program requirements, important dates, internal review support, and more.

The 2025 application cycle for the HHMI Freeman Hrabowski Scholars Program is now open. Applications are due May 15, 2024 by 3:00 p.m.

Speaker

Mustafa Mir, PhD
2023 HHMI Freeman Hrabowski Scholar
Assistant Professor, Center for Computational and Genomic Medicine
Children's Hospital of Philadelphia

Dr. Mir will answer questions from eligible candidates and share his own experience as a Scholar, along with his insights on the program and navigating the application process.

The Program supports outstanding basic researchers, including physician-scientists, who have strong potential to become leaders in their fields and to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion through their mentoring efforts and understanding of systemic exclusion and marginalization in science of trainees from different backgrounds. Scholars prioritize scientific excellence in their own research while creating an inclusive lab climate that serves as a model within their own institutions and beyond.
