The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) has selected the College of Chemical & Life Sciences at the University of Maryland as the recipient of four awards since 1992, totalling $6.7 million. HHMI funds innovative proposals to improve undergraduate education in the biological sciences at selected American colleges and universities. Maryland was identified as an institution "with a demonstrable record in preparing students for graduate education and careers in research, teaching, or the practice of medicine." The latest grant, for $2 million, supports undergraduate research programs, curriculum development, professional development for current and future faculty and outreach programs for secondary school students and their teachers.
