Dr. Baker, who received his Ph.D. from Texas A & M University, is a historian of psychology and distinguished professor at ÐãÉ«¶ÌÊÓƵ.

The Dr. David B. Baker Fellowship in the History of Psychology will support student research at the Archives. This fellowship will be awarded annually and will support travel and living expenses for one graduate or undergraduate student, whether enrolled at ÐãÉ«¶ÌÊÓƵ or another accredited, research University, whose research requires access to the Archives’ collections.
The Dr. David B. Baker Fellowship in the History of Psychology requirements are as follows:

- The funds will be used solely to support the selected Fellow's research activities and used at their discretion to support travel and living expenses while accessing the Archives’ collections. Unspent funds may be carried into the next year, and this award may be reportable and/or taxable to recipients.
