This action funds an NSF Minority Postdoctoral Research Fellowship for FY 2007. 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 US science. 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 "Systematics and mitochondrial genome evolution of fireworms." The goal of this study is to reconstruct the evolutionary history of Amphinomida (Annelida: Amphinomida), a group of poorly studied marine annelids. By assessing the evolutionary rates of mitochondrial (mt) genomes across diverse fireworm species, it will be possible to select appropriate mt markers in order to examine amphinomid relationships in a phylogenetic context. The sponsoring scientist is Kenneth Halanych at Auburn University. The research and training sponsored by this fellowship involves extensive national and international (Mexico and France) collaboration, technical training in comparative genomics, marine fieldwork, mentorship and gaining a broader knowledge of invertebrate biodiversity.

这项行动为2007财政年度的NSF少数民族博士后研究奖学金提供资金。 该奖学金的目标是增加少数民族科学家在博士后水平的参与，并为他们在美国科学的科学领导地位做好准备。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。 预计通过这些研究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“萤火虫的系统学和线粒体基因组进化。“这项研究的目标是重建双壳类（环节动物：双壳类）的进化历史，这是一组研究不足的海洋环节动物。通过评估线粒体（mt）基因组在不同的萤火虫物种的进化速率，它将有可能选择适当的mt标记，以检查amphinomid在系统发育的背景下的关系。 赞助科学家是奥本大学的Kenneth Halanych。 该研究金赞助的研究和培训涉及广泛的国家和国际（墨西哥和法国）合作、比较基因组学方面的技术培训、海洋实地考察、指导和获得更广泛的无脊椎动物生物多样性知识。
