DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In this application, we propose an expansion of the breadth of an established, evidence based education program at Tulane University, for veterinarians who plan to specialize in the field of laboratory animal medicine. The expanded education program will utilize a wide variety of laboratory animal species and will provide trainees with all the prerequisites for board certification by the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine (ACLAM). This proposal builds on existing, extensive interactions between the Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine (LSUSVM) and Tulane University and will serve to expand, and formalize new educational interactions with the Audubon Institute Center for Research in Endangered Species (ACRES). Tulane's extensive research programs in infectious disease, experience in biocontainment, and recently constructed Regional Biosafety Laboratory (RBL) will serve to provide a unique educational opportunity for veterinarians anticipating a career supporting infectious disease research. The partnership between these three institutions, and the addition of a focused biosafety/biocontainment component will create a novel educational experience that few programs can match. The Tulane training program is unique in its inclusion of a National Primate Research Center (Tulane NPRC), School of Medicine (Tulane SOM), School of Science and Engineering (SSE), Regional Biosafety Laboratory, School of Veterinary Medicine (LSUSVM), and a private research foundation specializing in reproductive biology and preservation of endangered species (ACRES). This constellation of programs and facilities offers a fertile environment for producing expertly trained laboratory animal medicine veterinarians who are capable of providing support in a wide variety of biomedical research programs. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): In this application, we propose an expansion of the breadth of an established, evidence based education program at Tulane University, for veterinarians who plan to specialize in the field of laboratory animal medicine. The expanded education program will utilize a wide variety of laboratory animal species and will provide trainees with all the prerequisites for board certification by the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine (ACLAM).

描述（由申请人提供）：在本申请中，我们建议扩大杜兰大学已建立的基于证据的教育计划的广度，该计划针对计划专门从事实验动物医学领域的兽医。扩大的教育计划将利用多种实验动物物种，并为学员提供获得美国实验动物医学学院 (ACLAM) 委员会认证的所有先决条件。该提案建立在路易斯安那州立大学兽医学院 (LSUSVM) 和杜兰大学之间现有的广泛互动的基础上，并将有助于扩大和正规化与奥杜邦研究所濒危物种研究中心 (ACRES) 的新教育互动。杜兰大学在传染病方面的广泛研究项目、生物防护方面的经验以及最近建成的区域生物安全实验室 (RBL) 将为期待支持传染病研究的兽医提供独特的教育机会。这三个机构之间的合作伙伴关系，以及重点生物安全/生物防护部分的增加，将创造一种很少有项目可以比拟的新颖的教育体验。杜兰大学培训计划的独特之处在于它包括国家灵长类动物研究中心 (Tulane NPRC)、医学院 (Tulane SOM)、科学与工程学院 (SSE)、地区生物安全实验室、兽医学院 (LSUSVM) 和专门从事生殖生物学和濒危物种保护（ACRES）的私人研究基金会。这些项目和设施为培养经过专业培训的实验动物医学兽医提供了肥沃的环境，他们能够为各种生物医学研究项目提供支持。 公共卫生相关性（由申请人提供）：在本申请中，我们建议扩大杜兰大学已建立的循证教育计划的广度，以供计划专门从事实验动物医学领域的兽医使用。扩大的教育计划将利用多种实验动物物种，并为学员提供获得美国实验动物医学学院 (ACLAM) 委员会认证的所有先决条件。
