Teacher and Faculty Opportunities
The APS offers a number of fellowships, awards, and opportunities specifically for minority teachers and faculty and educators at minority-serving institutions. These fellowships are designed to not only provide important financial resources for the educator but to also offer opportunities to build connections with the physiology community. Note: Fellowships for postdoctoral students can be found on the Student Fellowships and Awards page.

Please note that these programs have specific eligibility requirements in terms of educational level/degree, institution type, and racial/ethnic group. Some require U.S. citizenship or a permanent resident visa. Please read the application materials carefully.
