Kelly Labell Travel Award

Apply today for an all-expenses paid trip to Portland, Oregon

She loved the Boston Red Sox, the Beatles and had dreams of pursuing a career in broadcast journalism. And it all ended before she turned 20. Kelly Labell’s life was tragically cut short by Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE). To honor her life, and help those working to control arboviruses, in 2016, Kelly’s parents in partnership with Bayer, launched the Kelly Labell travel award. This award will send one lucky college or graduate student on an all-expenses-paid trip to the 2020 AMCA Meeting in Portland, Oregon. The winner will have a chance to meet the leading voices in the field and present a research paper or poster at the meeting.
