About the NW HHMI Net

The Northwest HHMI Network, or NW Net, is a collaboration between the HHMI Biological Science Education Programs in Oregon, Montana, and Washington. The partnership was initiated in 2006 with four founding members: Oregon State University (OSU), Montana State University (MSU), the University of Montana (UM), and the University of Washington (UW). In 2009, Gonzaga University joined as a newly funded HHMI college program in our region.

NW Net is designed to maximize the HHMI investment in our region and expand the reach of each individual program. Through the network, we share best practices to improve the quality of science education and broaden training opportunities for participants of our undergraduate, faculty development, and K-12 outreach programs.

To learn more about the NW HHMI Net and the opportunities for students and other program participants, see:

Opportunities for students

Student opportunities are available through our partnership with other universities in the NW region.

For instance, our students are eligible to apply for an HHMI–funded summer research experience on the campus of Montana State University or attend an undergraduate research symposium and present your results to scientists at Oregon State University, University of Montana, or Montana State University. All of these experiences provide undergraduates with opportunities to meet and interact with scientists at other universities, and explore graduate training opportunities.

For learn more about the possibilities, see our NW HHMI Web site for information on eligibility and deadlines for applications.
