About the Program
The APS K-12 Minority Outreach Fellowship seeks to foster communication between minority graduate and postdoctoral students and middle/high school minority life sciences students. The program capitalizes on the relationships that the NIDDK Minority Travel Fellows Program and Porter Physiology Fellowship program builds with minority graduate and postdoctoral students and the relationships that the Frontiers in Physiology and Explorations in Biomedicine programs build with minority middle/high school teachers. Program activities include year-long outreach fellowships for senior graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to visit K-12 classrooms, help conduct teacher professional development workshops, and attend scientific meetings.
