This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biological Informatics for FY 2005. 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 "Control theoretic and computational investigation of the flight of the hawkmoth." The goal of this project is to use control theory and computational modeling to study how animals control movement within their environment. Specifically, it examines the hovering, forward and maneuvering flight of the hawkmoth, Manduca sexta, focusing on the inverse control problem of predicting wing movements (kinematics) and muscle activity from an observed flight path.The training aspect of the project includes experience in the application of control theory to biological systems, especially locomotor biomechanics.

这项行动资助了 2005 财年 NSF 生物信息学博士后研究奖学金。该奖学金支持生物学与信息、计算、数学和统计科学交叉领域的博士后水平的研究和培训。该奖学金的目标是为年轻科学家提供培训，为将研究和教育融为一体的生物信息学职业做好准备。所有职业级别对生物信息学培训的需求日益增长，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方面发挥重要作用。该奖学金的研究和培训计划的标题是“控制理论和计算”对天蛾飞行的调查。” 该项目的目标是利用控制理论和计算模型来研究动物如何控制其环境中的运动。 具体来说，它研究了天蛾（Manduca sexta）的悬停、向前和机动飞行，重点关注从观察到的飞行路径预测翅膀运动（运动学）和肌肉活动的逆控制问题。该项目的培训方面包括以下方面的经验：控制理论在生物系统中的应用，特别是运动生物力学。
