Abstract:
Through its three operating programs, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute has supported a substantial amount of basic and clinical molecular research, has acted as a facilitator in initiating and funding a number of meetings, nationally and internationally, including work groups dealing with databases, and has supported several databases for gene mapping. Finally, HHMI is now playing a significant national role in the training and development of manpower through its support of fellowships, direct grants to colleges and universities, and support for major teaching resources such as Woods Hole Marine Biology and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories.
