This action funds an NSF Minority Postdoctoral Research Fellowship for FY2002. 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 "Role of antagonistic coevolution in the rate of male accessory gland protein divergence." Within a mating system, males and females often have divergent reproductive strategies, creating an antagonistic coevolutionary relationship between the sexes. The objective of this research is to investigate the covariance between sexual conflict intensity and the expression of sexually selected traits, life history traits and the rate of protein divergence in closely related Drosophila species.

这项行动为2002财政年度NSF少数民族博士后研究奖学金提供资金。该研究金的目标是培养少数民族科学家担任学术界和工业界的科学领导职务。为了实现这一目标，奖学金提供最高质量的博士后培训机会，以最近的博士获奖者。该计划是美国国家科学基金会的一项努力，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培训未来的劳动力方面发挥重要作用，该奖学金的研究和培训计划题为“拮抗性共同进化在男性附属腺蛋白分歧率中的作用”。在交配系统中，雄性和雌性通常有不同的生殖策略，在两性之间创造了一种对抗性的共同进化关系。本研究的目的是调查性冲突强度和表达的性选择性状，生活史性状和蛋白质的分歧率密切相关的果蝇物种之间的协方差。
