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 "Hybridization, introgression, disease resistance and conservation of native elms." Genetic assimilation following hybridization between red elm, Ulmus rubra, and the exotic invasive, U. pumila, makes the long-term survival of red elm uncertain. Using molecular markers, this research examines hybridization and introgression and the susceptibility of U. rubra X pumila hybrids to Dutch elm disease (DED). Results will help evaluate the threat that introgression with U. pumila represents to native elms and be useful in developing strategies for the long-term conservation of U. rubra.

这项行动为2004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“杂交，渗入，抗病性和保护本土榆树。红榆和外来入侵种美国榆杂交后的遗传同化作用。pumila，使红榆树的长期生存不确定。本研究利用分子标记技术，检测了杂交和渐渗以及U. rubra X pumila杂种与荷兰榆树病（DED）的杂交。研究结果将有助于评估与U.白榆是当地榆树的代表，并可用于制定长期保护美国榆树的策略。红宝石。
