<p>I am familiar with this, as my daughter did the one at Princeton last summer, and my husband is part of the summer HHMI faculty at another university.</p>
<p>Howard Hughes Medical Institute sponsors summer research in the biosciences at different institutions – IIRC, there are about 15 of them throughout the US. You apply to the program through the university that runs them, not through HHMI. For instance, Princeton’s is here:</p>
<p>[Princeton</a> University - Department of Molecular Biology - Summer Undergraduate Research Program](<a href=“Department of Molecular Biology”>Department of Molecular Biology)</p>
<p>Go to the HHMI site and click on the participating universities to see which accept applications and what their individual focus is. Princeton’s program includes systems, developmental, and computational neuroscience. Some focus exclusively on, say, genomics. Check the list of students for each university to see what percentage of outside students they accept. Often, you cannot get into a program that is not directly associated with your university if you come from a research university. Minorities and students from LACs are usually given priority.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>
