Swarthmore Receives Largest-Ever HHMI Grant

<p>There are two glaring omissions from this year’s grant recepients: Pomona College and Williams College.</p>

<p>Pomona received $1.3 million in the last cycle (2004).</p>

<p>Williams has received major grants in all previous cycles (1991, 1993, 1996, 2000, and 2004). Nothing this year. I bet there is some serious finger-pointing. LACs don’t want to miss out on HMMI grants.</p>

<p>I think this year’s award makes Swarthmore the largest recepient of HMMI undergrad science funding. $6.6 million in the six award cycles since 1991.</p>
