ASIM - Howard Hughes Medical Institute Partnership

Alabama Science in Motion is privileged to be an ongoing partner with the Biology Department at The University of Alabama in its grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

Howard Hughes Medical Institute
Alabama Science in Motion (ASIM) is privileged to be an ongoing partner with the Biology Department at The University of Alabama in its grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Although aimed primarily at strengthening undergraduate education in biological sciences, this grant is also significantly impacting the University’s outreach efforts in K-12 education through Alabama Science in Motion. For more information on the partnership between The University of Alabama Biology Department and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, visit the site for the HHMI Precollege and Undergraduate Science Program at The University of Alabama.

To date, ASIM at The University of Alabama has concentrated on biology and chemistry experiments, but the grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute has enabled UA to develop and add a biophysics element as well. The grant has funded development of biophysics labs by professors from UA’s biology and physics departments; in addition, the grant has provided both training and equipment to high school science teachers so that they can use these labs with their students.
