This action funds an NSF Minority Postdoctoral Research Fellowship for FY 2005. 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 US science. 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 "Roles of the bacteria, PA1, in larval and adult life histories of Porites corals." The research uses molecular, cellular, and genomic approaches to describe and understand the role of a recently discovered Porites species-specific coral bacterial symbiont, named PA1. The distribution of PA1 across Porites species and habitats provides clues about the ecological, phylogenetic, and ontogenic roles this bacteria plays for coral establishment, health, and resilience while completion of the genome will help determine how the PA1-Porites symbiosis is established, regulated, and altered. The training plan consists of expanding the Fellow's breadth of knowledge and training her in a suite of lab and field based techniques in preparation for an academic career in the basic biology of marine organisms.

这项行动资助了 2005 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级别的参与，并为他们担任美国科学界的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。该研究和培训计划的标题是“细菌 PA1 在滨珊瑚幼虫和成体生活史中的作用”。 该研究使用分子、细胞和基因组方法来描述和理解最近发现的滨珊瑚物种特异性珊瑚细菌共生体（名为 PA1）的作用。 PA1 在滨珊瑚物种和栖息地中的分布提供了有关这种细菌在珊瑚建立、健康和恢复力中所发挥的生态、系统发育和个体发育作用的线索，而基因组的完善将有助于确定 PA1-滨珊瑚共生是如何建立、调节、并改变。 培训计划包括扩大研究员的知识广度，并培训她一套实验室和现场技术，为海洋生物基础生物学的学术生涯做好准备。
