Research Consortium Fellow Program

Fellow status is reserved for members who have made significant contributions to scholarship (research, creative, or scholarly activity) and related service in the areas of concern to AAHPERD. The purpose of Fellow status is to promote scholarship as an integral component of AAHPERD as well as to recognize accomplishments in scholarship by Research Consortium members and recognize and promote participation in the Research Consortium.
