The A. Ralph and Sylvia E. Barr Fellowship in Vector Biology

During his extensive career in public health, Dr. Ralph Barr, with his wife Sylvia at his side, made many significant, and original contributions to the field of medical entomology and tropical medicine. Mrs. Barr established this fund in memory of her late husband to support a doctoral or postdoctoral student in the W. Harry Feinstone Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology who is working with vectors of infectious diseases in the organisms' natural habitats.
