Friends and Sponsors
The Howard Hughes Medical Institute provides important financial support for the Research Fellows Program, but the program would not be possible without the generosity of the 30 faculty scientists and others in their research groups who are mentoring our undergraduates this summer. Over the 17 years of our program, more than 150 faculty have been mentors; every science and biomedical department at Duke has hosted multiple Research Fellows. Faculty also present their own research to students, are good natured when interviewed by the students and welcome the students into group journal clubs and social functions in the labs. We thank all the associates and colleagues of our faculty mentors for the time and resources they commit to the Research Fellows.
