The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) is a leading private, non-profit organization dedicated to supporting scientific research and education in the United States. Established in 1953 by the aviator and industrialist Howard Hughes, its headquarters are located in Chevy Chase, Maryland. HHMI is one of the wealthiest biomedical research organizations in the world and is known for its long-term funding model, which supports the work of hundreds of scientists, known as HHMI investigators. These investigators are given the freedom to explore and push the boundaries of their research without the constant pressure of grant renewal. The institute also supports a variety of educational initiatives and scientific research facilities across the country, including the Janelia Research Campus in Virginia, which focuses on basic research and tool development in biomedical sciences. HHMI’s mission is to advance the understanding of basic biological processes and to foster science education, reflecting a commitment to improving human health and increasing scientific literacy.
