This action funds an NSF Minority Postdoctoral Research Fellowship for FY 2004. 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 "Understanding the early evolutionary radiation of placental mammals through dental development, morphology, and function." Ecologically generalized Cretaceous mammals rapidly evolved into an array of body sizes and ecologies, following the extinction of non-avian dinosaurs. Patterns and process of this episode are being investigated using computer-simulated models based on developmental and ecological principles and a fossil database from North America (80-50 million years ago). The training component includes developmental biology, quantitative-analytical methods, and theoretical modeling.

这项行动为2004财年的NSF少数族裔研究奖学金提供了资金。奖学金的目的是增加少数族裔科学家在博士后一级的参与，并为他们准备学术界和行业的科学领导地位。为了实现这一目标，奖学金为最近的博士学位接受者提供了博士后培训和研究的机会。 预计通过这些奖学金支持的研究员将在培训未来的劳动力中起重要作用。研究和培训计划的题为“了解胎盘哺乳动物通过牙科发展，形态和功能的早期进化辐射”。 在非avian恐龙的灭绝之后，生态概括的白垩纪哺乳动物迅速发展为一系列身体大小和生态。正在使用基于发展和生态原理的计算机模拟模型以及来自北美的化石数据库（80-5000万年前）研究了这一事件的模式和过程。 培训组件包括发展生物学，定量分析方法和理论建模。
