Minority Postdoctoral Research Fellowship for FY 2002: Third Year Extension

这一行动为2002财年国家科学基金会少数民族博士后研究奖学金的第三年延期提供资金。该奖学金的目标是增加少数民族科学家在博士后水平上的参与，并为他们在学术界和工业界担任科学领导职位做好准备。为了实现这一目标，该奖学金为最近的博士后获得者提供了高质量的博士后培训和研究机会。预期通过这些研究金提供支助的研究员将在培训未来工作人员方面发挥重要作用。研究和培训计划继续侧重于蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用，特别是低分子量G-蛋白质。

This action funds a third year extension of an NSF Minority Postdoctoral Research Fellowship for FY 2002. 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 continues to focus on protein-protein interactions, specifically low molecular weight G-proteins.
