DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This T35 application requests funding to support experiential training at Colorado State University in molecular, mechanistic, and applied biomedical research to encourage pre- DVM/VMD engagement in biomedical research. Numerous studies have identified the need for greater numbers of veterinarians in post-graduate research. Student research involvement during veterinary school has a major positive impact influencing this career path choice. The proposed program will build upon a Veterinary Summer Research Program that has been in existence at CSU for 27 years. An aggressive recruitment strategy will be employed to encourage participation by the most highly qualified candidates from CSU and nationally. Twenty percent of students participating in the CSU program in the past 5 years (15 of 75) have been under-represented minorities. A weekly seminar series for participating students will focus on elements of the research process, including responsible conduct of research, overview of mentor faculty research projects, and instruction on grant-writing and research data presentation. The 12-week program will culminate in a local symposium and in student participation in the Merial-NIH National Veterinary Scholars Symposium (hosted by CSU in 2012). Fifty-nine mentor faculty (30 with veterinary degrees) will participate, providing: (1) strong biomedical research programs in infectious disease, cancer, physiology, and epidemiology supported by 251 current-year grants awards totaling >$19.5M; and, (2) experience in research mentorship of veterinarians and veterinary students (476 students mentored in the past 10 years, including 287 pre- or post-DVM/VMDs). Student participants will thus experience a program that will bridge basic research to in vivo translation with impact on human and animal health in a time of emerging diseases, biosecurity, and translational medicine. The program will be guided by experienced leadership including: (1) an external advisory committee comprised of experienced T35 Program Directors, and (2) experts in recruitment of students from disadvantaged backgrounds and training in responsible conduct of research. This application requests support to expand (by ~50%) and amplify the impact of the existing successful CSU Veterinary Summer Research Program. Initial support for six students is requested with a graduated increase to ten positions. The desired outcome of this program is production of graduate veterinarians with the interest, aptitude, and motivation to enter post-graduate training and careers in research. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): Using no more than two or three sentences, describe the relevance of this research training program to public health. In this section, use plain language that can be understood by a general, lay audience. This research training program requests resources for stipend and training costs to support summer research opportunities for veterinarian students in a wide variety in public and human health related disciplines. As many emerging infectious diseases of humans are spread from and/or are infectious to animals, and as many human cancers and spontaneously occurring diseases also exist in animals, or are studied in animal models, veterinarians trained in research are essential to advancement of public health.

描述（由申请人提供）：该T35申请要求提供资金，以支持科罗拉多州立大学的分子，机械和应用生物医学研究的经验培训，以鼓励在生物医学研究中参与Pre-DVM/VMD。大量研究已经确定了在研究生研究中需要更多的兽医。兽医学校期间的学生研究参与对这一职业道路的选择产生了重大积极影响。拟议的计划将建立在CSU已有27年的兽医夏季研究计划的基础上。将采用一种积极的招聘策略来鼓励来自CSU和全国范围内最合格的候选人参与。在过去的5年中，有20％的学生参加CSU计划（75个中的15个）的学生代表性不足。一个针对参加学生的每周一次研讨会系列将重点关注研究过程的要素，包括负责任的研究，导师教师研究项目的概述以及有关赠款写作和研究数据展示的指导。这项为期12周的计划将在当地的研讨会中达到顶峰，并参加学生参加Merial-NIH国家兽医学者研讨会（由CSU于2012年主持）。五十九名导师教师（30个具有兽医学位的人）将参加：（1）251年当年的赠款奖项总计> 1950万美元； （2）在兽医和兽医学生的研究指导方面的经验（在过去的10年中有476名学生，包括287名DVM/VMD前或后DVM）。因此，学生参与者将体验一项计划，该计划将在新兴疾病，生物安全和转化医学时期桥接基础研究，从而对人类和动物健康产生影响。该计划将由经验丰富的领导者进行指导：（1）由经验丰富的T35计划董事组成的外部咨询委员会，以及（2）招募来自弱势背景的学生的专家和负责任进行研究的培训。该应用程序要求支持扩展（约50％），并扩大现有成功的CSU兽医夏季研究计划的影响。要求对六名学生进行初步支持，并提高到十个职位。该计划的期望结果是生产具有兴趣，能力和动力进入研究生培训和研究职业的研究生兽医。 公共卫生相关性（由申请人提供）：使用不超过两个或三个句子，描述该研究培训计划与公共卫生的相关性。在本节中，使用普通的外行受众可以理解的简单语言。 该研究培训计划要求资源用于津贴和培训费用，以支持各种与公共和人类健康相关学科中各种各样的兽医学生的夏季研究机会。由于许多新兴的人类传染病已经传播和/或具有感染性动物的传染性，而且由于动物中的许多人类癌症和自发性疾病也存在，或者在动物模型中进行了研究，因此接受研究的兽医对公共卫生的发展至关重要。
