Description Since 1967, Porter Physiology Development Program Fellowships have supported the predoctoral and postdoctoral studies of numerous minority students with the support of the American Physiological Society (APS) and the William Townsend Porter Foundation. The goal of the Fellowship Program is to encourage diversity among students pursuing full-time studies toward the Ph.D. (or D.Sc.) in the physiological sciences and to encourage their participation in the APS.
With support from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), the APS conducted a study of current and past Porter Fellows to gather information on their career paths and their perceptions of the impact of the Fellowship on their career. The findings of this retrospective study suggest that the program has been highly successful in obtaining its goals.
