![Email from HHMI. Subject is: [External] Update on the 2025 Hanna H. Gray Fellows Competition.
Gray box says: Some people who received this message don’t often get email (the a red cross out of the email) why this is important.
Email reads: Dear HGF Applicant:
I am writing to share that HHMI has made the difficult decision to pause all competitions as we work to ensure continued support for our scientists at a challenging moment for science and science funding. This means that we are not proceeding with the 2025 Hanna H. Gray Fellows Competition.
We received hundreds of thoughtful and inspiring applications, reaffirming the importance of supporting early career scientists through the transition from postdoc to faculty. We thank you for the time, effort, and care you put into your application materials.
Bests,
