DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There is a need for veterinarians with research training to participate in academic as well as corporate based research in the fields of animal and human health. It is crucial for a set of 21st century veterinarians to acquire the scientific skills and technical training together with the conceptual framework to participate both as independent researchers and collaborators to meet the projected research needs in biomedical sciences. Through the training set forth in the present proposal, the objective is to provide bright, and highly motivated veterinary students with a one-year, in-depth research experience in a productive and active research setting. Training will involve the use of animal models to develop skills at hypothesis-based, biomedical research. Over a three-year period, the aim is to train a minimum of nine students (three per year). Applicants will be actively recruited from the incoming and existing veterinary classes, with an effort made to insure participation by our minority students. Students will receive research training during a consecutive 12-month period after their first year of veterinary school, but prior to graduation. A program faculty that consists of 20 faculty from the three departments with expertise in numerous research areas that use animal models will offer both intensive laboratory training as well as complementary seminars and course work. Key research areas include infectious diseases, reproductive biology, biotechnology, digestive diseases, neuroscience and behavior, oncology, nutrition, and respiratory physiology. A wide variety of animal models are available for trainee projects, including pigs, horses, goats, sheep, cats, dogs, rats, mice, and shrimp. Highly successful projects can be submitted to meet the requirements for a Masters Degree in Comparative Biomedical Sciences. All participating students will receive a certificate at commencement acknowledging their training experience. The program itself will contribute funds that can be used to support additional qualified applicants and/or supplement existing stipends. It is a long-term objective to make this training experience a launching pad for career involvement in biomedical research for the veterinary students. The success of the program will be evaluated by determining the number of trainees that integrate health science research into their professional careers.

描述（由申请人提供）： 需要接受研究培训的兽医参加动物和人类健康领域的学术和基于企业的研究。 对于一组21世纪的兽医来说，获得科学技能和技术培训以及概念框架以作为独立研究人员和合作者的参与，以满足生物医学科学的预计研究需求，至关重要。 通过本提案中提出的培训，目的是在富有成效和积极的研究环境中提供一年的深入研究经验，以提供聪明，积极进取的兽医学生。 培训将涉及使用动物模型在基于假设的生物医学研究中发展技能。 在三年的时间里，目的是培训至少九名学生（每年三名）。 申请人将从进入和现有的兽医阶层中积极招募，并努力确保我们的少数民族学生参与。 学生将在兽医学校的第一年后连续的12个月内接受研究培训，但毕业前。 一个课程教师由来自三个部门的20位教职员工组成，这些教师在许多研究领域的专业知识中，使用动物模型将提供密集的实验室培训，以及互补的研讨会和课程工作。 关键研究领域包括传染病，生殖生物学，生物技术，消化疾病，神经科学和行为，肿瘤学，营养和呼吸生理学。 各种各样的动物模型可用于学员项目，包括猪，马，山羊，绵羊，猫，狗，老鼠，老鼠和虾。 可以提交非常成功的项目，以满足比较生物医学科学硕士学位的要求。 所有参加的学生都将在开学典礼上获得证书，以确认他们的培训经验。 该计划本身将贡献可用于支持其他合格申请人和/或补充现有津贴的资金。 这是一个长期的目标，将这种培训体验成为兽医学生生物医学研究的职业介绍垫。 该计划的成功将通过确定将健康科学研究纳入其职业职业的学员数量来评估。
