ETR Sponsors the
Douglas Kirby Internship
In honor of our late colleague, Dr. Douglas Kirby, ETR
is sponsoring an annual summer internship. The intern-
ship comes with a stipend, and is designed for graduate
students interested in sexual and reproductive health. It
offers young professionals an opportunity to be mentored
by an ETR senior science staff member, while working
on existing or new ETR projects in the area of sexual and
reproductive health.
Dr. Kirby had broad interests, deep knowledge and a
passion for teaching others. We know he would be pleased
to see his enthusiasm for learning honored in this way.
APHA Sedgwick Memorial Medal
The American Public Health Association has selected the
late Dr. Douglas Kirby, a senior scientist at ETR, to posthu-
mously receive the 2013 Sedgwick Memorial Medal. Since
1929, this award has been given annually to “an individ-
ual who has demonstrated a remarkable record of service
in the advancement of public health knowledge and prac-
tice.” It is the highest honor APHA confers.
Dr. Kirby is being acknowledged for his overall con-
tributions to the broader field of public health and pub-
lic health education, his significant and substantial
contributions to health promotion, and his specific work
in sexual and reproductive health in the United States and
internationally.
We at ETR feel privileged to have enjoyed a long and
rewarding association with Doug. To us, he was not only
a world-renowned researcher in sexual and reproduc-
tive health, but also a friend who listened carefully, got to
know his colleagues in a genuine and personal way, and
inspired us with his insatiable curiosity about absolutely
everything. There is no better person APHA could have
honored with this distinguished award.
