DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): As determined by several studies there is a critical national need for veterinarians in the biomedical research community. The long term objective of this NRSA Short-Term Institutional Research Training Grant, Biomedical Research Experience for Veterinary Students (BREVS), continues to be the attraction of veterinarians to careers in biomedical research. There are two short term specific aims. First, the program will provide veterinary students with an opportunity to conduct a short term independent research project in an environment of discovery provided by an active laboratory and mentor. The program spans the natural life of a research project. It is designed to afford the student the opportunity to help plan the studies to be conducted, conduct a literature review, develop a research proposal, conduct the experiments, and present the data as it evolves and when the project is completed. While these projects are designed to be completed during the summer, local students have the opportunity to continue their work during elective blocks during the second, third and fourth years of the veterinary curriculum. Secondly, the program will provide students with significant, non-laboratory research relevant experiences in the form of lectures, discussions, field trips, and team building exercises. Topics for lectures and discussions will include experimental design and data analysis, research communication, literature searching and evaluation, the use of animals in research, ethics, animal welfare, and the responsible conduct of research. Specific lectures by local experts on gene therapy, transgenic animals, and stem cells will continue to be organized. Field trips will expose the scholars to the research environments of a primate center, medical research institute, medical school campus, and biomedical research companies in a technology center. Together these events will begin to provide the scholars with an understanding the diversity and depth of research opportunities available to them when they graduate. With the renewal of this grant, the BREVS program will continue with 8 NIH scholars for 5 additional years of support. This is consistent with our success, the increased interest in the program, and our continuing efforts to attract additional students from other CVMs. The intent of the program is to immerse the professional students as a group and individually into an exciting, science based problem solving environment which has at its center an identifiable research project.

描述（由申请人提供）：由几项研究确定，在生物医学研究界，国家对兽医的需求至关重要。这项NRSA短期机构研究培训赠款，兽医研究经验（BREV）的长期目标继续是兽医研究中兽医对生物研究的职业的吸引力。有两个短期特定目标。首先，该计划将为兽医学生提供一个机会，以在活跃的实验室和导师提供的发现环境中进行短期独立研究项目。该计划涵盖了研究项目的自然生活。它旨在使学生有机会帮助计划进行研究，进行文献综述，制定研究建议，进行实验，并随着数据的发展以及项目完成时提供数据。尽管这些项目旨在在夏季完成，但当地学生有机会在兽医课程的第二，第三和第四年内在选修课上继续工作。其次，该计划将以讲座，讨论，实地考察和团队建设练习的形式为学生提供重要的，非实验室的研究相关经验。讲座和讨论的主题将包括实验设计和数据分析，研究交流，文献搜索和评估，动物在研究，伦理，动物福利中的使用以及负责任的研究行为。当地专家在基因治疗，转基因动物和干细胞上的特定讲座将继续组织。实地考察将使学者接触到技术中心的灵长类动物中心，医学研究所，医学院校园和生物医学研究公司的研究环境。这些事件将开始为学者们提供理解的研究机会的多样性和深度。随着这笔赠款的续签，BREVS计划将继续提供8个NIH学者，以获得5年的支持。这与我们的成功，对该计划的兴趣增加以及我们为吸引其他CVM的更多学生的努力一致。该计划的目的是将专业学生置于一个小组中，并单独地融入一个令人兴奋的基于科学的问题解决环境中，该环境在其中心是一个可识别的研究项目。
