Welcome to Frontiers in Physiology
Frontiers in Physiology is a program of the American Physiological Society (APS),
and is sponsored by APS, the
National Center for Research Resources (NCRR),
Science Education Partnership Awards (SEPA Grant #RR15251),
and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases
(NIDDK Grant #DK 39306) at the
National Institutes of Health.
The American Association for the Advancement of Science
and Wiley Publishers also generously donate materials
for teachers in the program each year
Frontiers in Physiology has four main goals and objectives:
- Develop, evaluate, refine, and disseminate a model and materials for integrating inquiry, equity,
and technology into the middle/high school science classroom and into professional development programs;
- Build ongoing working relationships between research scientist and middle/high school teachers
through research and in-service experiences and online communications;
- Promote the adoption of national standards for K-12 content and pedagogy -- especially inquiry, equity,
and technology use -- by middle and high school science teachers
through ongoing in-service activities developed collaboratively by teachers and researchers; and
- Increase teachers' skills in developing, assessing, and utilizing web-based curricular materials
and resources, especially in integrating online resources into inquiry-based teaching.

Fulfillment of these goals is accomplished through three program components:
- the Research Teacher Fellowship,
- Local Outreach Teams, and
- the Leadership Fellowship.
In each component, teachers and physiologists work collaboratively to improve science education at middle and high school levels.
