This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biological Informatics for FY2002. 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 the future workforce.The research and training plan for this fellowship is entitled "New procedures for modelling the thermal environment of small animals." The spatial and temporal distribution of thermal resources across landscapes influences the abundance and distribution of organisms. Existing techniques to evaluate thermal habitats do not adequately represent the complexity of most environments. Novel procedures are being developed to generate detailed, dynamic, thermal maps using artificial neural networks that incorporate thermographic imaging and microclimate data.

这一行动为2002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。越来越需要在所有职业级别进行生物信息学培训，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“模拟小动物热环境的新程序。“热资源在景观中的时空分布影响着生物的丰度和分布。 现有的技术来评估热生境不足以代表大多数环境的复杂性。正在开发新的程序，利用人工神经网络生成详细的动态热图，其中包括热成像和小气候数据。
