This action funds an NSF Minority Postdoctoral Research Fellowship for FY2001. The goal of the fellowship is to prepare minority scientists for positions of scientific leadership in academia and industry. To attain this goal, the fellowship provides opportunities for postdoctoral training of the highest quality to recent doctoral recipients. This program is an effort by the NSF to increase the number of research scientists from underrepresented minority groups, thereby contributing to the future vitality of the Nation's scientific enterprise. 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 "Evolution of morphological diversity in iguanian lizards." This research compares the evolution of morphological diversity among and within two lizard families, Agamidae and Iguanidae. The goal is to identify clades that have evolved greater morphological disparity than other clades, test for common ecomorphological patterns within and between groups, and test for an association between increased morphological disparity and diversification rates using a phylogenetic context.

这项行动资助了 2001 财年 NSF 少数族裔博士后研究奖学金。该奖学金的目标是为少数族裔科学家担任学术界和工业界的科学领导职位做好准备。为了实现这一目标，该奖学金为最近的博士获得者提供最高质量的博士后培训机会。该计划是 NSF 的一项努力，旨在增加来自代表性不足的少数群体的研究科学家的数量，从而为国家科学事业的未来活力做出贡献。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“鬣蜥形态多样性的进化”。 这项研究比较了蜥蜴科和鬣蜥科这两个蜥蜴科之间和内部形态多样性的演变。 目标是识别比其他进化枝进化出更大形态差异的进化枝，测试群体内部和群体之间的共同生态形态模式，并使用系统发育背景测试增加的形态差异和多样化率之间的关联。
