Planning suggestions
- Planning suggestion. If you are preparing before November 3, use the preview and eligibility questionnaire period to assemble materials without treating the application as open.
- Planning suggestion. If you are counting postdoctoral experience, include the relevant research experience across institutions and countries as described by HHMI, not only time in your current lab.
