Research Consortium Fellow Program

Fellow status is reserved for members who have made significant and sustained contributions to scholarship (research and creative 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
• recognize and promote participation in the Research Consortium
• identify the voting membership for Research Consortium Bylaws revisions and the base of leadership for the Research Consortium

Current/active Research Consortium Fellows nominate members for Fellow status. Members interested in being nominated should consult the Fellows list below to identify and contact a Fellow who may be able to serve as a nominator.
