This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biological Informatics for FY2002. 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 "New procedures for modelling the thermal environment of small animals." The spatial and temporal distribution of thermal resources across landscapes influences the abundance and distribution of organisms. Existing techniques to evaluate thermal habitats do not adequately represent the complexity of most environments. Novel procedures are being developed to generate detailed, dynamic, thermal maps using artificial neural networks that incorporate thermographic imaging and microclimate data.

该行动为2002财年的生物信息学提供了NSF博士后研究奖学金。 该奖学金支持生物学交集以及信息，计算，数学和统计科学的交集的研究和培训。奖学金的目的是向年轻科学家提供培训，以准备将研究和教育整合到生物学信息学领域。在所有职业水平上，对生物信息学的培训的需求越来越多，预计通过这些奖学金培训的研究员将在培训未来的劳动力中发挥重要作用。该奖学金的研究和培训计划的标题为“为小动物的热环境建模的新程序。” 跨景观的热资源的空间和时间分布会影响生物的丰度和分布。 评估热栖息地的现有技术并不能充分代表大多数环境的复杂性。正在开发新的程序，以使用包含热力学成像和微气候数据的人工神经网络生成详细的，动态的热图。
