The Howard Hughes Medical Institute will hold its third nationwide competition to find 12 colleges and universities to join the Science Education Alliance (SEA), a bold effort to engage students through authentic research experiences at the start of their academic careers.

The schools selected in this competition will join 24 other institutions in a network working to enhance science teaching and inspire new generations of scientists. Schools may submit applications from May 25 to October 1, 2009. Any four-year academic institution in the United States is eligible to apply, but they must be committed to providing research opportunities for beginning science students.
