The New York Hideyo Noguchi Memorial Society, Inc. (HNMS) was established in 2013 with the mission and goals: 1) to ensure the preservation and upkeep of Dr. Hideyo Noguchi’s graveyard and monument. 2) to pass on Dr. Hideyo Noguchi’s achievements in medicine and his inspiration to future generations. 3) to inspire and support the children and students of Japanese descent who aspire to study medicine and pursue research in biomedical sciences in the United States. 4) to strengthen cultural ties and connections between the United States and Japan. The HNMS scholarship is designed to support Japanese life scientists who are at the beginning of their careers and are pursuing biomedical research in the US.
HNMS is dedicated to awarding a scholarship each year to a budding Japanese scientist pursuing life science research who upholds the principles that guided Dr. Hideyo Noguchi: “Through devotion to science, he lived and died for humanity.”
