This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biological Informatics for FY2001. The fellowship supports research and training at the postdoctoral level at the intersection of biology and the informational, computational, mathematical, and statistical sciences. The goal of the fellowship is to provide training to a young scientist in preparation for a career in biological informatics in which research and education will be integrated. There is an increasing need for training in biological informatics at all occupational levels, and it is expected that Fellows trained through these fellowships will play important roles in training of the future workforce.The research and training plan for this fellowship is entitled "How dinosaur locomotion evolved: Using 3D computer models to test biomechanical hypotheses." This research constructs realistic 3D computer models to visualize the physics of hindlimb muscle function in an alligator, chicken, and three extinct theropod dinosaurs. These models permit the testing of hypotheses like "Could Tyrannosaurus run?" and "How did the bipedal stance of birds evolve?" with new analytical rigor.

这一行动为2001财政年度的NSF生物信息学博士后研究奖学金提供资金。 该奖学金支持在生物学和信息，计算，数学和统计科学的交叉点博士后水平的研究和培训。该研究金的目标是向一名青年科学家提供培训，为从事研究和教育相结合的生物信息学职业做准备。在所有职业级别上对生物信息学培训的需求日益增加，预计通过这些研究金培训的研究员将在培训未来的劳动力方面发挥重要作用，该研究金的研究和培训计划题为“恐龙运动如何进化：使用三维计算机模型测试生物力学假设。“这项研究构建了逼真的3D计算机模型，以可视化鳄鱼，鸡和三种灭绝的兽脚亚目恐龙的后肢肌肉功能的物理学。 这些模型允许测试假设，如“霸王龙能跑吗？鸟类的两足姿势是如何进化的？“新的分析严谨性。
