hhmi logo

For summer 2010, Carleton's HHMI grant can support awards to science and math faculty for the equivalent of 10-11 full-time students working on campus or in the field (in the case of Geology). The student stipend rate for summer 2010 is $4,200 for 10 weeks of full-time work.
To apply for these awards, fill out the online application below. Carleton faculty in science and math departments and programs are eligible to apply for this funding (Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Geology, Math, Psychology, Physics/Astronomy, Cognitive Science, and ENTS).


Deadline: 5pm Central Time on Feb. 5, 2010.


Contacts: Fernan Jaramillo (Biology) and Trish Ferrett (Chemistry). The HHMI/CISMI Advisory Board deliberates on these proposals and makes the awards every Februrary.


Student eligibility criteria: All students with a demonstrated interest in science and math are eligible - but they must be enrolled at Carleton for the year after the summer they apply to do research. Carleton graduates are not eligible for this award. Faculty receive the award and hire students of their choice.


Approx. number of positions: 10-11 per summer (for full-time at 10 weeks, or part-time at 5-6 weeks)


What does the award fund? Per student, a summer stipend ($420/week for up to 10 weeks) plus funds for student conference travel and research supplies.


Award Criteria:
  • Quality of educational/research experience for student
  • A Carleton faculty member who is regularly available (daily, weekly) for face-to-face student mentoring
  • Junior faculty members who are untenured and without other grant or department resources will receive special consideration
  • Status of additional support from outside funding or the department/program
  • Impact on faculty research
  • Research overlaps with focus areas of our current HHMI grant: modeling and visualization, neuroscience, environmental science, and other interdisciplinary areas
  • When requests exceed available funding, we may limit awards to one student per faculty member, as in recent years (highly likely for summer 2010)
