Facilitation Award for Scientists & Engineers with Disabilities

这一行动资助了一名NSF少数民族博士后研究员的促进奖，该博士后研究员身体残疾，因此需要技术人员的帮助。该研究金支持的研究和培训计划将使用线虫线虫来识别抑制细胞死亡诱导迟发性神经退化的突变。这项工作需要培育这种有机体，并以罗亚尔无法胜任的方式对其进行操作。这名技术人员将与发起科学家合作，为罗亚尔先生设计和解释的实验执行实验室工作。

This action funds a facilitation award for an NSF Minority Postdoctoral Fellow who has a physical disability thus requiring the assistance of a technician. The research and training plan supported under the fellowship will use the nematode C. elegans to identify mutations that suppress the induction of late onset neurodegeneration by cell death. This work requires rearing the organism and manipulating it in ways that are beyond Mr. Royal's ability. The technician will perform the laboratory work for the experiments designed and interpreted by Mr. Royal, working in concert with the sponsoring scientist.
