Dr. Anita Roberts Memorial Fund

Overview

The Dr. Anita Roberts Memorial Fund awards travel scholarships for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows to present their work at a national meeting in honor of Dr. Anita Roberts—who was one of the first women laboratory chiefs at NIH and ranked in the top 50 most-cited biological scientists in the world. The Fund was established by the family and lab colleagues of Dr. Roberts.
