DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall objective of the proposed Biomedical Research Experience for Veterinary Students (BREVS) program is, in the long term, to increase the number of veterinarians actively involved in biomedical research. The specific aim of the program is to provide veterinary medical students the opportunity to develop and complete a biomedical research project during summers in Year 1 or Year 2 of the professional curriculum. The intent is to immerse students in a creative, problem-solving biomedical research activity and to provide a learning experience that will lead to the discovery of new knowledge and uncover potential pathways to a career in research. Collectively the plan is to create an atmosphere of excitement about scientific inquiry and biomedical science. The rationale and advantages of the program will be presented to veterinary students in the Year I and Year 2 classes. The program will extend over the three months of the summer. Applications will be requested during the fall semester and participants selected early in the spring semester. An introductory series of lectures will be held during the first week of the program. Other lectures, seminars, discussions, and group social events will be held during the summer. The focus of program will be the students' research projects. Students will present the results of their work to the group in a short oral format and in a poster format at the LSU SVM Phi Zeta Research Emphasis Day in the fall. Students will be encouraged to continue their research activities after the program is completed. Where possible students will be strongly encouraged to author or co-author publication of their findings in peer-reviewed journals. The effectiveness of the program in stimulating careers in research will be assessed by following the student's career paths for 5 years after graduation. The program is unique in that offers students choices of a wide range of biomedical scientist mentors and research environments. These include; the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine, the LSU College of Basic Science, National Hansen's Disease Research Center, the Pennington Biomedical Research Center and The Tulane Regional Primate Research Center (TNPRC).

描述（由申请人提供）： 拟议的兽医学生生物医学研究体验（BREVS）计划的总体目标是，从长远来看，增加积极参与生物医学研究的兽医数量。该计划的具体目标是为兽医学生提供在专业课程第一年或第二年暑假期间开发和完成生物医学研究项目的机会。目的是让学生沉浸在创造性、解决问题的生物医学研究活动中，并提供一种学习体验，从而发现新知识并发现研究职业的潜在途径。总体而言，该计划是为了营造一种关于科学探究和生物医学的兴奋氛围。 该计划的基本原理和优点将在一年级和二年级课程中向兽医学生介绍。该计划将持续整个夏季的三个月。申请将在秋季学期提出，参与者将在春季学期初选定。课程第一周将举办一系列介绍性讲座。其他讲座、研讨会、讨论和团体社交活动将在夏季举行。计划的重点是学生的研究项目。学生们将在秋季的路易斯安那州立大学 SVM Phi Zeta 研究重点日上以简短的口头形式和海报形式向小组展示他们的工作成果。 项目完成后，将鼓励学生继续他们的研究活动。 在可能的情况下，我们强烈鼓励学生在同行评审的期刊上撰写或共同发表他们的研究结果。该计划在刺激研究职业方面的有效性将通过跟踪学生毕业后 5 年的职业道路来评估。 该项目的独特之处在于为学生提供了广泛的生物医学科学家导师和研究环境的选择。这些包括；路易斯安那州立大学兽医学院、路易斯安那州立大学基础科学学院、国家汉森病研究中心、彭宁顿生物医学研究中心和杜兰地区灵长类动物研究中心 (TNPRC)。
