To honor Dr. Robert Whitney Newcomb and his experience at NIH as a high school intern, an internship award is made each year by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. Supported by the Robert Whitney Newcomb Memorial Fund, the award is made to a selected high school junior enrolled in a biotechnology program, or an advanced science course.
