Recent Accomplishment!

Hunter College has received a $1.4 million grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) to expand its science and research programs and educational outreach initiatives. Hunter is the only CUNY to be awarded this grant.

Each summer, The Hunter-HHMI USE Program sends undergraduates to the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), Woods Hole, MA, and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL), Long Island, NY for unique off-campus research opportunities. Eligible applicants are undergraduates (Biology Major I) who have completed the first year of biology (BIOL 100, 102) and Cell Biology of Procaryotes and Eucaryotes (BIOL 200, 202).  Chosen students will spend 10 weeks, working on original research with MBL faculty and CSHL faculty. The program provides a stipend, room and board and transportation.  The goal is to increase the interest of our undergraduates in a research career.


We have sent our undergraduates to these research institutions for summer research.
