In 2002 The European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) launched a joint initiative in support of young independent scientists in Central Europe. This initiative is co-ordinated by the EMBO Young Investigator Programme.

Within the framework of its international programme HHMI awarded nearly $2 million to the EMBO to help launch promising scientific careers in Central Europe. The grant has been used to support EMBO/HHMI Young investigators and scientists in the Czech Republic, Hungry and Poland. This activity was discontinued in favour of EMBO/HHMI Startup grants. Joint EMBO and HHMI activities include a series of meetings for Central European Scientists to support and promote science.

In the future the Startup Grants will be continued as the Strategic Development Installation Grants. Funding will come from the participating member states.
