This action funds an NSF Minority Postdoctoral Research Fellowship for FY 2004. The goal of the fellowship is to increase the participation of minority scientists at the postdoctoral level and to prepare them for positions of scientific leadership in academia and industry. To attain this goal, the fellowship provides opportunities for postdoctoral training and research of the highest quality to recent doctoral recipients. It is expected that Fellows supported through these fellowships will play important roles in training of the future workforce.The research and training plan is entitled "Ecological and genetic responses of plants to insect herbivory." This research examines the response of Arabidopsis thaliana to insect herbivores using both ecological and functional genomics methodologies. The research examines how plants "recognize" and respond to insects. Comparing genomic information to quantitative plant responses related to life history, defense, and fitness in the field allows evaluation of plant defenses, tolerance, and co-evolution. The training goals are to prepare for an independent research career by learning techniques from and integrating ecology and functional genomics.

这项行动为2004财年NSF少数族裔博士后研究奖学金提供资金。该研究金的目标是增加少数群体科学家在博士后一级的参与，并使他们为在学术界和工业界担任科学领导职务做好准备。为了实现这一目标，奖学金提供了最高质量的博士后培训和研究的机会，以最近的博士获奖者。 预计通过这些奖学金资助的研究员将在培训未来的劳动力方面发挥重要作用。研究和培训计划的标题是“植物对昆虫食草性的生态和遗传反应。" 本研究采用生态学和功能基因组学方法研究了拟南芥对昆虫的反应。 这项研究探讨了植物如何“识别”昆虫并做出反应。 将基因组信息与生活史、防御和田间适应性相关的植物定量反应进行比较，可以评估植物的防御、耐受性和共同进化。 培训目标是通过学习技术和整合生态学和功能基因组学为独立的研究生涯做准备。
