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 "Dynamic species interactions, uncertainty and the maintenance of ecosystem robustness." The interplay between community complexity and stability is the source of one of the classic debates in ecology. Heterogeneous spatial and temporal species distributions and trophic interactions, though central to the debate, have been studied little. To address these issues this research develops new computational methods to parameterize, simulate, and analyze a multi-species, multi-patch model.

这项行动资助了 2001 财年 NSF 生物信息学博士后研究奖学金。 该奖学金支持生物学与信息、计算、数学和统计科学交叉领域的博士后水平的研究和培训。该奖学金的目标是为年轻科学家提供培训，为将研究和教育融为一体的生物信息学职业做好准备。所有职业级别对生物信息学培训的需求日益增长，预计通过这些奖学金培训的研究员将在未来劳动力的培训中发挥重要作用。该奖学金的研究和培训计划的标题是“动态物种相互作用、不确定性和生态系统稳健性的维护”。 群落复杂性和稳定性之间的相互作用是生态学中经典争论的根源之一。 异质的时空物种分布和营养相互作用虽然是争论的核心，但研究很少。 为了解决这些问题，本研究开发了新的计算方法来参数化、模拟和分析多物种、多斑块模型。
