The American Physiological Society
The American Physiological Society (APS) is a nonprofit association devoted to fostering education, scientific research, and dissemination of information in the physiological sciences. The Society, founded in 1887, has more than 10,000 members and has education programs addressing issues at each level—precollege, undergraduate, graduate, professional, and continuing education. In addition, the APS is committed to increasing diversity in biological sciences; in 2003, the APS received the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Engineering, and Mentoring Programs for its systemic approach to incorporating diversity efforts into its programs.
The APS accepts submissions through four mechanisms:
PreK-12 Resources (Colleague to colleague sharing): The APS welcomes the submission of PreK-12 classroom activities, demonstrations, images, simulations, lesson plans, interactive activities/programs, etc. All items are peer-reviewed by a team of scientists and educators in September and March. Submit these items through the Archive submission process. For questions, contact the Archive Coordinator (archive@the-aps.org).
Higher Education Resources (Colleague to colleague sharing): Undergraduate, graduate, and professional school laboratory activities, demonstrations, images, simulations, syllabi, lecture notes, PowerPoints, exams, interactive activities/programs, etc. All items are peer-reviewed by a team of scientists and/or educators in June and December. Submit these items through the Archive submission process. For questions, contact the Archive Coordinator (archive@the-aps.org).
Advances in Physiology Education (Peer-reviewed journal): Scholarly articles that enhance teaching and learning of Physiology, Neuroscience, and Pathophysiology, including descriptions of innovations that improve teaching in the classroom and laboratory, essays on education, and review articles based on current understanding of physiological mechanisms, evaluation of new technologies for teaching and research, and educational pedagogy. Items submitted to Advances generally require classroom testing data. All items are peer-reviewed by the editorial board. Submit these items through the journal submission site (add web address). For questions, contact the journal editor, Robert Carroll (carrollr@ecu.edu).
Web-site recommendations (Colleague to colleague sharing): Archive users are encouraged to submit websites that they have found useful to the Archive for review and inclusion. Submit these items by contacting the Archive Coordinator (archive@the-aps.org).
Human Anatomy and Physiology Society
The Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) was founded to promote communication among teachers of human anatomy and physiology in colleges, universities, and related institutions; to present workshops and conferences (local, regional, and national) where members can obtain information about the latest developments in the health and science fields; and to encourage educational research and publication by HAPS members.
HAPS now includes over 1,000 members from two and four year colleges, universities, and private businesses throughout the United States and Canada.

National Association of Health & Science Education Partnerships
NAHSEP promotes and facilitates the dissemination of innovative approaches to K-12 health science education through partnerships among academic institutions, museums, industries, foundations, and governmental and community agencies.
Its goals are to promote the fiscal support of K-12 health science education in the U.S., serve as a repository for data and impact of successful health science education programs, and disseminate curricular ideas and partnership models.

Society for Developmental Biology
The Society for Developmental Biology was founded in 1939 (as the Society for the Study of Development and Growth) to bring together the fields of Genetics and Experimental Embryology and to further the study of development in all organisms and at all levels.
Today, the SDB brings together educators and researchers pioneering the exploding fields of developmental biology, developmental genetics, evolution and development, embryonic stem cell biology, genomics and human disease including birth defects and cancer. The SDB fosters the growth and development of its membership and seeks to educate the public on the importance and potential of developmental biology in science and society.

SDB Submission and Review Process
SDB accepts teaching resources that focus on developmental biology or similar topics.
For more information about submitting an object to the SDB portion of the APS Archive of Teaching Resources, please contact Diana Darnell, SDB Archive Editor, at darnell@email.arizona.edu.
