Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) investigators, widely known for their creativity and
productivity,
push the bounds of knowledge in biomedical research. HHMI investigators have support to follow their
ideas
through to fruition, even if that process takes a very long time. HHMI's philosophy of selecting
“people,
not projects” selects researchers who bring innovative approaches to the study of biological problems.
