HHMI To Award $15 Million In Grants to Scientists in
Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Mexico and Venezuela

CHEVY CHASE, Md., October 10, 1995 - The Howard Hughes
Medical Institute today announced plans to expand its international
program by awarding $15 million in grants to support outstanding
biomedical researchers in Canada, Mexico and four new countries -
Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Venezuela.

In addition, HHMI, the largest private philanthropy in the United States,
has awarded $895,000 to support joint activities among biomedical
scientists in the Americas; the four-year grants went to the National
Research Council of the National Academies of Sciences and
Engineering (U.S.) and the Academia de la Investigacion Cientifica (Mexico)
to promote the study of the life sciences in Mexico and South America.

The awards significantly expand the international activities of the
Institute, which in July awarded $15 million in five-year grants to
support the research of 90 biomedical scientists in selected countries
of the Baltics, Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union as well as
their collaborators in the United States, Western Europe and Japan.

Science is becoming increasingly international, with researchers around
the world exchanging ideas and experimental results through the Internet,
faxes, and conferences and collaborating on research projects, said
Purnell W. Choppin, M.D., president of the Institute. These new grants
highlight the growing importance of biomedical research in Argentina,
Brazil, Chile and Venezuela, as well as reaffirming the high quality of 
research
in Canada and Mexico.

The Institute will select the new International Research Scholars through a
highly competitive process. It has invited senior scientists in Latin 
America,
Canada and the United States to nominate candidates from Argentina, Brazil,
Canada, Chile, Mexico and Venezuela. The nominees must have made
significant contributions to the study of basic biological processes or
disease mechanisms.

With guidance from an expert review panel, the Institute will select the 
scientists
who will receive awards in the range of $50,000 to $100,000 annually for 
research
support for five years, beginning in 1997.


These grants have provided essential financial support and intellectual
resources to the scholars and their colleagues. Additionally, American
scientific knowledge has been enriched by mutual exchange with Canadian
and Mexican colleagues,- noted Joseph G. Perpich, M.D., J.D., HHMI vice
president for grants and special programs. -Through meetings organized
by HHMI or the National Academies, the scholars have engaged in intense
scientific discussions and established research collaborations with Hughes
investigators and other leading scientists. We are delighted to broaden the
interchange of ideas.

The grants to the National Research Council and to the Academia de
la Investigacion Cientifica are a continuation of two 1991 grants that
totaled $700,000. The funds paid for lectures, laboratory courses and
discussions at annual meetings in both Mexico and the United States
on topics at the frontiers of biomedical research. A large number of 
graduate
students, postdoctoral associates and more advanced scientists from
throughout Mexico attended these state-of-the art programs. Under the
new grants, these sessions will be expanded and include the newly selected
Latin American countries.

The Institute established its International Research Scholars program
to support outstanding biomedical researchers in selected countries outside
the Untied States. In 1991, it made its first awards to 10 Mexican and
14 Canadian scientists. In 1993, it expanded the program to include
22 researchers in the United Kingdom, five in Australia and two in
New Zealand. These new grants, together with those announced in July,
 will expand HHMI s international support to 19 countries.

Among the first scientists to benefit from the program was Esther Orozco,
professor of genetics and molecular biology at the National Polytechnic
Institute in Mexico City.  Without the assistance of HHMI, we would not have 

had sufficient money to purchase lab supplies and equipment for our 
molecular
biological experiments,  said the International Research Scholar, who also
has participated in meetings organized by the Academia de la Investigation
Cientifica.  The experience and knowledge gained in meetings supported
by HHMI have been invaluable to me and members of my laboratory and
 other members of the Mexican scientific community with whom we have
shared what we have learned. 

HHMI is a medical research organization whose primary purpose is the
conduct of biomedical research. Within the United States, HHMI employs
approximately 280 independent scientists at 62 universities and
academic medical centers. Through its grants program, the Institute also
supports science education and encourages talented young people to
pursue careers in science. The Institute has awarded more than $300 million
hrough its grants program since 1988.
