The project is designed to address simultaneously the need of acquiring additional professional experience in informatics in order to advance research in the history and philosophy of science (HPS) and to open up new areas of research and investigation at the intersection of these two areas. As more and more texts, images, and archival sources become available in digital form, history and philosophy of science, and the humanities more generally, are now experiencing a transformation similar to the life sciences during the 1990s and the first decade of the 21st century. While these trends are inevitable, researchers in these areas are ill-prepared to take advantage of the new opportunities or to shape the future development of relevant parts of the emerging new cyberinfrastructure. The post-doc's training in biology and HPS, as well as his work on the NSF funded Embryo Project, has given him a unique perspective on the possibilities and challenges of the upcoming digital era in HPS. With the fellowship he will spend time training with computer scientists and informaticians at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA, as well as the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin. He will acquire new skills related to developing this cyberinfrastructure, which will then be tested and implemented in the context of the Embryo Project. This professional training fellowship will go beyond supporting research in HPS as the tools and techniques developed will contribute substantially to the digital humanities at large. Presenting HPS related results and information to a multitude of different user groups has enormous educational and outreach possibilities as well, and this depends on a substantially developed cyber-infrastructure to deliver this scholarly content to students, policy makers, judges, and the interested public.

该项目旨在同时解决获取信息学额外专业经验的需要，以推进科学史和科学哲学（HPS）的研究，并在这两个领域的交叉点开辟新的研究和调查领域。随着越来越多的文本、图像和档案资源以数字形式出现，科学史和科学哲学以及更广泛的人文学科正在经历一场类似于20世纪90年代和21世纪头十年生命科学的变革。虽然这些趋势是不可避免的，但这些领域的研究人员还没有做好充分准备，无法利用新的机会，也无法塑造新兴网络基础设施相关部分的未来发展。博士后在生物学和HPS方面的培训，以及他在NSF资助的胚胎项目上的工作，使他对HPS即将到来的数字时代的可能性和挑战有了独特的视角。有了奖学金，他将花时间与计算机科学家和信息学家在伍兹霍尔，马萨诸塞州的海洋生物实验室，以及在柏林的马克斯普朗克科学史研究所培训。他将获得与开发这种网络基础设施相关的新技能，然后将在胚胎项目的背景下进行测试和实施。这个专业培训奖学金将超越支持HPS的研究，因为开发的工具和技术将大大有助于整个数字人文。向众多不同的用户群体展示HPS相关的结果和信息也具有巨大的教育和推广可能性，这取决于一个充分发展的网络基础设施，以向学生，政策制定者，法官和感兴趣的公众提供这种学术内容。
