Veterinarian scientists greatly strengthen the translational bridge between basic science and clinical medicine. Their dual training endows them with unique expertise that enhances the rigor and reproducibility of research with animal models and improves animal welfare. To succeed in a research career, veterinarians must build on the foundation in comparative medicine gained through their veterinary education by engaging in PhD programs or postdoctoral fellowships that provide rigorous training in biomedical research. This is a path that ideally begins while still a veterinary student, with the student participating in mentored research projects and networking with veterinarian-researcher role models. This proposal seeks to expand existing summer training program opportunities for veterinary students in biomedical research at the Johns Hopkins University (JHU) School of Medicine as a means to recruit more veterinarians to research careers. The proposed T35 Scholars Program will ignite a passion for biomedical research in participating students thorough immersion in a mentored summer research project at our top tier academic medical center. The Department of Molecular and Comparative Pathobiology (DMCP), a basic sciences department in the JHU School of Medicine that serves as the academic home for DVM faculty at JHU, will provide a supportive home base replete with veterinarian- scientist role models from postdoctoral fellows in our T32-funded training program to tenured professors with R01-funded independent research labs. DMCP will additionally host a program of career development activities educating the veterinary students about the careers available to veterinarians in research. We request funding for the proposed 12 week program for 4 summer veterinary student trainee slots / year for the first two years, to expand to 6 slots / year for the final three years. The proposed T35 Scholars Program will complement and integrate into our existing summer programs that have >90% success in preparing veterinary students for research-intensive careers. Through the establishment of a T35 Scholar Program at JHU DMCP, we hope to offer an outstanding opportunity for veterinary students to learn about and prepare themselves to be future veterinarian-scientists as well as leaders in biomedical research.

兽医科学家大大加强了基础科学与临床医学之间的转化桥。 他们的双重培训赋予他们独特的专业知识，从而增强了研究的严格性和可重复性 使用动物模型并改善动物福利。为了在研究职业中取得成功，兽医必须以 比较医学的基金会通过兽医教育获得了博士学位 计划或博士后奖学金，可为生物医学研究提供严格的培训。这是一条路径 理想情况下是在仍然是兽医学生的同时开始的，学生参加了指导的研究项目和 与兽医研究者榜样建立联系。该建议旨在扩大现有的夏季培训 约翰·霍普金斯大学（JHU）生物医学研究兽医学生的计划机会 医学院作为招募更多兽医从事研究职业的手段。拟议的T35学者 计划将激发人们对参与学生的生物医学研究的热情 在我们顶级学术医学中心的指导夏季研究项目。分子和 比较病理生物学（DMCP），JHU医学院的基本科学系 JHU DVM教职员工的学术住所将为兽医提供支持的房屋基础 - 科学家在我们T32资助的培训计划中的博士后研究员的榜样， R01资助的独立研究实验室。 DMCP还将举办一项职业发展活动计划 对兽医的研究教育兽医在研究中可用的职业。我们要求资金 对于拟议的12周计划，最初两年 /年，每年为4个夏季兽医学生培训老虎机， 在最后三年中，扩展到6个插槽。拟议的T35学者计划将补充和 集成到我们现有的夏季计划中，在为兽医学生准备工作中取得了超过90％的成功 研究密集型职业。通过在JHU DMCP建立T35学者计划，我们希望 为兽医学生提供了一个很好的机会，可以学习并准备自己成为未来 兽医研究人员以及生物医学研究领导者。
