This action funds an NSF Minority Postdoctoral Research Fellowship for FY2003. 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 academia and industry. 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 "Recombinant source of the first marine-derived diterpene cyclase for pseudopterosin biosynthesis." This research is developing a recombinant source of elisabethatriene synthase, a diterpene cyclase enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of the antiinflammatory compounds called pseudopterosins. The principles elucidated in the research will provide the groundwork for the production of other enzymes involved in this biosynthetic pathway and for the cloning of other marine-derived terpene cyclases.

这项行动资助了 2003 财年 NSF 少数族裔博士后研究奖学金。该奖学金的目标是增加少数族裔科学家在博士后的参与，并为他们在学术界和工业界担任科学领导职位做好准备。为了实现这一目标，该奖学金为最近的博士生提供了最高质量的博士后培训和研究机会。 预计通过这些奖学金支持的研究员将在未来劳动力的培训中发挥重要作用。研究和培训计划的标题是“第一个用于拟珊瑚素生物合成的海洋来源的二萜环化酶的重组来源”。 这项研究正在开发伊丽莎白三烯合酶的重组来源，这是一种二萜环化酶，参与称为拟珊瑚素的抗炎化合物的生物合成。 该研究阐明的原理将为生产参与该生物合成途径的其他酶以及克隆其他海洋来源的萜烯环化酶奠定基础。
