项目摘要

This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biological Informatics for FY 2006. 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 "Multiple-scale responses of terrestrial carbon flux to precipitation changes." The goal of the research is to develop and test a theory of soil-vegetation-atmosphere transfer dynamics to produce response scenarios of carbon cycling to changes in precipitation. A mechanistic model is being developed to bridge information between field measured carbon fluxes with intra- and inter-annual remotely sensed vegetation changes in response to precipitation. The training goals include acquiring new skills for the analysis and management of large and complex datasets and gaining experience in teaching and disseminating research results to non-scientists. This training addresses the needs of modern ecologists to transform the rapidly expanding ecological database into new understanding that addresses both scientific and societal needs.

该行动为2006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和信息，计算，数学和统计科学的博士后研究和培训。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，越来越需要培训生物学信息学，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“多个规模的回应陆生碳通量的变化。” 该研究的目的是开发和测试土壤蔬菜 - 大气转移动力学的理论，以产生碳循环对降水变化的反应场景。正在开发一种机械模型，以弥合现场测得的碳通量之间的信息，这些碳通量与沉淀的近期和近期遥感植被变化。培训目标包括获取新的技能，用于分析和管理大型和复杂的数据集，并在向非科学家提供教学和传播研究结果方面获得经验。该培训解决了现代生态学家将快速扩展的生态数据库转变为解决科学和社会需求的新理解的需求。
