This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biological Informatics for FY 2005. The fellowship supports research and training at the postdoctoral level at the intersection of biology and the informational, computational, mathematical, and statistical sciences. The goal of the fellowship is to provide training to a young scientist in preparation for a career in biological informatics in which research and education will be integrated. There is an increasing need for training in biological informatics at all occupational levels, and it is expected that Fellows trained through these fellowships will play important roles in training the future workforce.The research and training plan for this fellowship is entitled "Bioinformatic approaches to spatial and temporal analysis of Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) data that relate animal movement to biodiversity." This research is developing informatic tools to fit statistical distributions to large spatial data sets. The are then being used in conjunction with mechanistic models to test hypotheses across multiple scales of biological organization relating spatial variation in gray wolf (Canis lupus) movements to patterns of community diversity in Yellowstone National Park.The Fellow plans a career of collaborative research in environmental science and mathematics. The proposed postdoctoral fellowship is strengthening his foundation in theoretical ecology and data analysis.

这项行动为2005财政年度的NSF生物信息学博士后研究奖学金提供资金。 该奖学金支持在生物学和信息，计算，数学和统计科学的交叉点博士后水平的研究和培训。该研究金的目标是向一名青年科学家提供培训，为从事研究和教育相结合的生物信息学职业做准备。在所有职业级别上对生物信息学培训的需求日益增加，预计通过这些研究金获得培训的研究员将在培训未来的劳动力方面发挥重要作用，该研究金的研究和培训计划题为“用生物信息学方法对全球定位卫星（GPS）数据进行空间和时间分析，将动物运动与生物多样性联系起来。“这项研究正在开发信息工具，以适应大型空间数据集的统计分布。 然后，这些被用于与机械模型，以测试假设在多个尺度的生物组织有关的空间变化灰狼（犬）运动的社区多样性在黄石国家公园的模式。研究员计划在环境科学和数学的合作研究的职业生涯。 拟议的博士后奖学金正在加强他在理论生态学和数据分析方面的基础。
