This is not true. There is a difference between all the other HHMI fellowships, professorships, etc and the HHMI investigator position. The latter usually requires ~5 years of being a professor before you can even apply.
- dekhn 8y agoIf you look at the numbers, nearly all HHMI investigators started with fellowships as early funding.
- skosuri 8y agoAll HHMI investigators went to high school as well. The reverse is not true. Getting funding in college through an HHMI fellowship is a terrible predictor of being an HHMI investigator. They are completely independent in their selection and the programs that HHMI for education fund many orders of magnitude more people than their investigator program.
- dekhn 8y agoThat's definitely inconsistent with the description given to me by 8 HHMI investigators. Each of them said they had a continuity of program managers from their initial contact in high school.
