9602246 This award provides additional support for a BIO Research Training Group in the Analysis of Biological Diversification first established in 1991. During this course of this second award, NSF support will be phased out as other sources of funding are secured. The 24 member faculty group is drawn from 6 departments and 2 divisions at the University of Arizona. The funds awarded will provide stipends for undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral trainees, purchase computational equipment, and to bring investigators from other research and academic institutions to the campus for seminars. University resources will augment the funds provided by NSF in most of these and in other categories. Molecular, developmental, and population biologists, as well as systematists, ecologists and paleontologists, have developed distinctive approaches to the study of biological diversity. Owing to the way in which students have been trained traditionally, the connections among these approaches have not been explored in detail. While their individual research interests are as diverse as the list above, the faculty have formed this group with the aim of using phylogeny, which can be viewed as the history of diversification, as an approach to the integration of these disparate perspectives. ***

9602246该奖项为1991年首次成立的生物多样性分析生物研究培训小组提供额外支持。 在这第二个奖项的过程中，NSF的支持将逐步取消，因为其他资金来源是安全的。 24名教师来自亚利桑那大学的6个部门和2个部门。 所获资金将为本科生、研究生和博士后学员提供津贴，购买计算设备，并邀请其他研究和学术机构的研究人员到校园参加研讨会。 大学资源将增加NSF在大多数这些和其他类别中提供的资金。 分子生物学家、发育生物学家和种群生物学家，以及系统分类学家、生态学家和古生物学家，已经发展出独特的方法来研究生物多样性。 由于传统上对学生进行培训的方式，这些方法之间的联系尚未得到详细探讨。 虽然他们的个人研究兴趣与上面的列表一样多样化，但教师们已经形成了这个小组，目的是使用可被视为多样化历史的遗传学，作为整合这些不同观点的方法。 ***
