Jason R. Carter, PhD, Dean of Baylor University’s Robbins College of Health and Human Sciences, has been recognized as a 2024 Fellow of the American Physiological Society (FAPS) inductee. This is the highest honor the American Physiological Society (APS) bestows upon a member, recognizing distinguished leaders who have demonstrated scientific excellence, made significant contributions to physiological sciences and related disciplines, and actively served APS.

Founded in 1887 and with over 10,000 members today, APS seeks to advance scientific discovery, understand life, and improve health. Carter has been an APS member since 2002, served two terms on the Neural Control and Autonomic Regulation (NCAR) steering committee, received Research Recognition Awards from three distinct APS sections (NCAR, Central Nervous System, and Teaching), and served as a governing Councilor of the organization from 2019 to 2022. He is a current associate editor the American Journal of Physiology – Heart and Circulatory Physiology and past associate editor for the American Journal of Physiology – Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology. 

“I am truly humbled by this honor from APS—an organization I have engaged with and served within over the past 20 plus years,” Carter said. “I look forward to continuing my commitment to the organization and to my fellow members, especially APS trainees and the next generation of leaders that APS serves so well.”
