项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Nationwide there is a shortage of veterinarian-scientists involved in biomedical or public health research. Three recent reports by the National Research Council have argued for increased efforts to expand the number of veterinarians in research careers. Veterinary students receive extensive training in the comparison of multiple animal species and the application of knowledge across species boundaries. As such, veterinarians are well attuned to the identification of animal models that serve as models of human disease. Recruitment of veterinarians into biomedical research careers would have a positive impact on human health and is consistent with the NIH Roadmap. However, a relatively small number of veterinarians are actively involved in biomedical research. Exposure of veterinary students, early in their training, to biomedical research has been shown to increase the numbers of veterinarians who pursue research careers. For the past 17 years (10 years with NIH T35 support) the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine has administered a short-term summer research program for first and second year veterinary students to participate in research training. This program enabled 222 different veterinary students to perform biomedical research with 110 different faculty members at the University of Pennsylvania. Tracking data indicate that program graduates are far more likely to pursue post-graduate education and are nearly 8 times more likely to pursue PhD studies. In this program, veterinary students, with the help of an advisory committee, identify faculty sponsors at the University. A core of 34 well funded and experienced faculty serve as trainers, but other qualified faculty at Penn are permissible for training if they meet criteria defined by the program executive committee. With the help of their mentors, students write a short research proposal that addresses an interesting problem in biomedical research. Applications are reviewed with respect to the credentials of the student, merit of the research proposal, and training environment of the sponsor's laboratory. Students receiving funding perform research in the mentor's laboratory during the months of June, July, and August. Students also participate in weekly seminars that provide training in grant writing, data presentation in written and oral formats, and information on research training opportunities and career options. Students are required to present their research in an oral presentation and must submit their work in the form of a written scientific manuscript. Students also present their work in either poster or oral format at a school-wide research day held each Spring and present posters at the annual Merck-Merial National Conference. The program provides training in all aspects of biomedical research including development of research ideas, preparation of a grant proposal, performance of biomedical research, and presentation of results in written, poster, and oral formats.

描述（由申请人提供）：全国范围内缺乏参与生物医学或公共卫生研究的兽医科学家。国家研究委员会最近的三份报告主张加大力度扩大从事研究职业的兽医人数。兽医学生在比较多种动物物种和跨物种边界应用知识方面接受广泛的培训。因此，兽医非常擅长识别作为人类疾病模型的动物模型。招募兽医从事生物医学研究职业将对人类健康产生积极影响，并且符合 NIH 路线图。然而，积极参与生物医学研究的兽医相对较少。事实证明，兽医学生在培训早期接触生物医学研究可以增加从事研究职业的兽医数量。在过去的 17 年中（在 NIH T35 支持下的 10 年），宾夕法尼亚大学兽医学院为一年级和二年级兽医学生举办了短期暑期研究项目，以参加研究培训。该项目使 222 名不同的兽医专业学生能够与宾夕法尼亚大学 110 名不同的教职人员一起进行生物医学研究。跟踪数据表明，该项目的毕业生攻读研究生教育的可能性要大得多，攻读博士学位的可能性高出近 8 倍。在这个项目中，兽医学生在咨询委员会的帮助下，确定大学的教师赞助商。由 34 名资金充足、经验丰富的核心教师担任培训师，但宾夕法尼亚大学的其他合格教师如果符合项目执行委员会规定的标准，也可以接受培训。在导师的帮助下，学生撰写一份简短的研究计划，解决生物医学研究中的一个有趣问题。申请将根据学生的资历、研究计划的优点以及资助者实验室的培训环境进行审查。获得资助的学生在六月、七月和八月期间在导师的实验室进行研究。学生还参加每周一次的研讨会，提供资助写作、书面和口头形式的数据演示以及有关研究培训机会和职业选择的信息的培训。学生必须以口头报告的形式展示他们的研究成果，并以书面科学手稿的形式提交他们的作品。学生们还在每年春季举行的全校研究日上以海报或口头形式展示他们的作品，并在年度默克梅里亚全国会议上展示海报。该计划提供生物医学研究各个方面的培训，包括研究思路的发展、资助提案的准备、生物医学研究的执行以及以书面、海报和口头形式展示结果。
