Prague--Last year, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) launched a $15-million program to provide grants to elite researchers in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Hughes brought the grantees together here for a meeting in June that provided a snapshot of how science is faring in the region. Most of the 87 researchers who attended the meeting said that their HHMI grants--between $25,000 and $35,000 a year over 5 years--have provided a lifeline at a time when most sources of support are drying up.
