Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Interdisciplinary Informatics are sponsored jointly by the Directorates for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) and Biological Sciences (BIO) to encourage research and training that cross the traditional disciplinary boundaries between them. These fellowships provide opportunities for interdisciplinary research and educational activities in biology and informatics to a wide range of recent doctoral recipients (biologists, chemists, physicists, mathematicians, statisticians, computer scientists, and others) who seek to conduct research on biological questions using informatics tools and methods. It is expected that the Fellows trained through these fellowships will play an important role in training the future workforce. Postdoctoral training in informatics will permit junior scientists trained in biology, mathematical, chemical, and physical sciences to play key roles in developing new quantitative tools and methods that will advance informatics in biology and other fields. The research and training plan is entitled "Integrating demographic and wildlife population data to understand the effects of housing growth on avian populations." Housing growth is changing American landscapes and may have substantial effects on avian populations. The research utilizes a geographic information system and population models to investigate how housing development has affected avian population trends over the past 30 years across five major ecoregions of the Northeastern U.S. Housing growth forecasts are being used to project future changes in avian populations.

跨学科信息学博士后研究奖学金由数学与物理科学理事会 (MPS) 和生物科学理事会 (BIO) 联合资助，以鼓励跨越传统学科界限的研究和培训。这些奖学金为寻求利用信息学工具和方法对生物学问题进行研究的众多近期博士生（生物学家、化学家、物理学家、数学家、统计学家、计算机科学家等）提供了生物学和信息学跨学科研究和教育活动的机会。 预计通过这些奖学金培训的研究员将在培训未来劳动力方面发挥重要作用。信息学博士后培训将使受过生物学、数学、化学和物理科学培训的初级科学家在开发新的定量工具和方法方面发挥关键作用，从而推动生物学和其他领域的信息学发展。该研究和培训计划的标题是“整合人口和野生动物种群数据，以了解住房增长对鸟类种群的影响”。 住房增长正在改变美国的面貌，并可能对鸟类种群产生重大影响。 该研究利用地理信息系统和人口模型来调查过去 30 年来美国东北部五个主要生态区的住房发展如何影响鸟类数量趋势。住房增长预测用于预测鸟类数量的未来变化。
