HHMI Faculty ResearchFaculty Research Opportunities: West Michigan is rapidly becoming a hub of world-class biomedical and life-science research with the establishment of the Van Andel Institute, the move of the Michigan State Medical School to Grand Rapids, and the formation of the Center for Molecular Medicine. Thus there are many new and exciting opportunities for Hope college faculty to engage in collaborative biomedical research. We will strengthen relationships with these institutions by providing grants to faculty to establish new collaborative research partnerships with scientists at these institutions. This will also provide exciting new biomedical research opportunities for Hope students. Opportunities for faculty to expand their own knowledge base into new biomedical areas will also be made available through support for training courses and professional workshops. 2012 HHMI Faculty Research Grant Application (PDF) 2012 Grant Agreement Form (PDF) Preliminary Report Guidelines (PDF) The HHMI Steering Committee awarded to the following faculty members: 2012 Awards
