<p>HHMI (Howard Hughes Medical Institute) is listed on Caltech's Student</a> Faculty Programs website, but it isn't linked. Is it an inactive program? I would really like to apply for it. </p>
<p>Thanks to those who answer.</p>
<p>This is the wrong place to be asking.</p>

<p>HHMI Investigators (check the biology faculty info pages if you don't know who they are) can recommend you for HHMI-run programs like EXROP. If you're a Caltech student, EXROP would place you with an HHMI investigator at another university. The SFP office probably organizes living arrangements and payment for EXROP students who get placed at Caltech. I'm not sure if the HHMI Investigator recommendation is required to apply - you should contact the SFP office.</p>
<p>If you want to get off campus for research in biosciences, you should also consider Amgen's program, NSF REU, SURF at Rockefeller, CHSL URP, NIH SIP, and MBL REU. You would have to apply directly to other institutions for all of these.</p>
<p>HHMI also funds SURFs. They get doled out the same way as other named SURFs, and your adviser needn't be an HHMI Investigator in order for you to receive one. So if you see a student listed as an HHMI fellow in the SURF seminar day program, it doesn't necessarily mean that they were part of an HHMI program like EXROP.</p>
<p>Thank you for the reply.</p>
