This is accomplished through the meetings and publications of the Society. The target audience for the services of the Society includes over 9,000 members as well as the large number of biomedical scientists interested in the physiological sciences who are not members of the Society. 0 0 14636251 1262588 16196690 The American Physiological Society (Society) usually conducts three scientific meetings per year, one meeting that is held each spring in conjunction with several other scientific societies and two smaller scientific conferences. The spring meeting attracts between 9,000 and 12,000 scientists, which represent the target audience. Of those attending the meeting, between 3,000 and 4,000 scientists directly benefit from the scientific offerings of the Society. The two conferences attract approximately 350 scientists who represent the number of persons benefiting directly from the Society's symposia and workshops. The target audience for the conferences is between 15,000 and 25,000, representing members of the Society and the population of scientists interested in some aspect of the society's conferences.The Society publishes 13 scientific journals that serve as the vehicle for the dissemination of the investigator's research. The Society publishes more than 25,000 pages and receives over 6,100 manuscripts for publication. Each manuscript has an average of three authors, representing a population of over 18,000 scientists who benefit from the society's publications. In addition, there are over 7,000 subscriptions to the 13 journals published by the Society. The majority of the subscribers are libraries providing a large target audience for the journals. Not only faculty, but also students and clinicians refer to the Society's journals providing for a potential target audience in excess of 100,000. 14636251 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0

Occasionally award funding may be advanced and carried on APS books as a receivable until such time as the condition of award has been completed and verified. Funding that is offered in support of an ongoing effort is tracked by an APS staff person by reports, newsletters, or other various means to track progress and ensure proper use of the funding.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15a Annually, the American Physiological Society (APS) engages a third party consultant to perform a study of comparable salaries and wages for like organizations in its geographical area. Findings of the study are used to provide guidance to APS' Council (board of directors), who are responsible for approving annual salary and wage scale increases. The Executive Director's salary is approved by a smaller group of the Council (Executive Committee). In addition, the APS periodically (~ every 5 years) engages a third party consultant to review job descriptions for each position to ensure compensation levels are appropriate for the knowledge and skills required to perform the duties of each position.
