项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this Research Education grant from the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) is to increase the number of veterinarians (Participants) trained to provide veterinary care for research animals, to perform collaborative research and to lead programs of animal care and use. Penn's premier biomedical research environment with Schools of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, strong group of academic laboratory animal veterinarians and outstanding translational research programs makes it an ideal program for this research education. Our PI/PD and other group members form the faculty of the Division of Laboratory Animal Medicine in the Department of Pathobiology in Penn's School of Veterinary Medicine and are fully-functioning academic role models in addition to providing veterinary and husbandry care and regulatory support. Our administrative service group, University Laboratory Animal Resources reports to the Vice Provost for Research and provides services to 582 PIs with approximately 1,874 active IACUC protocols utilizing a daily census of more than 150,000 animals of more than 20 diverse species housed in more than 240,000 square feet of vivarial space. Veterinary Participants will gain knowledge through lectures and other structured didactic activities and hands-on experience in the use, biology, care and diseases of multiple large and small animal species of animals used for experimentation. Participants receive 1 year of mentored research training in selected laboratories designing and performing research using translational animal models under the guidance of highly successful scientists. Veterinarians completing this program will qualify to sit for certification by the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine (ACLAM). In addition to varied clinical medical rotations, specific additional rotations have been designed to educate Participants in administration of laboratory animal resource programs, facility management and regulatory support. The strengths of this application are: (1) a proven leadership team with extensive experience in laboratory animal medicine, resident training, research and directing major academic biomedical vivarial service programs; (2) sixteen outstanding Co-investigator Research Mentors with varied opportunities for veterinarians in translational research; (3) large and diverse colonies of research animals including many large animal models; (4) a proven, mentored training process which supports veterinarians during laboratory animal and research training; (5) experienced supplemental trainers in vivarial business and husbandry services; (6) training in diagnostic services and the pathology of laboratory animals from experts (7) training and experience in presentation skills and public speaking and (8) five additional diverse ACLAM- and ACVIM certified veterinarians to provide individualized side-by-side training in clinical laboratory animal medicine. We request funding to train 3 additional veterinarians in the upcoming 5 years. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): Veterinarians will be trained using funds from the R25 grant in laboratory animal medicine, research and the skills needed to lead an animal use program. These veterinary specialists will contribute to public health by ensuring the health and welfare of research animals, by ensuring that healthy animals provide optimal scientific data and by performing translational research using animals.

描述（由申请人提供）：宾夕法尼亚大学（宾夕法尼亚大学）提供的这项研究教育补助金的目标是增加接受培训的兽医（参与者）数量，为研究动物提供兽医护理，开展合作研究并领导以下项目：动物护理和使用。宾夕法尼亚大学一流的生物医学研究环境、医学院和兽医学院、强大的实验动物兽医学术团队和出色的转化研究项目使其成为研究教育的理想项目。我们的 PI/PD 和其他小组成员组成了宾夕法尼亚大学兽医学院病理学系实验动物医学系的教员，除了提供兽医和畜牧护理和监管支持之外，他们也是功能齐全的学术榜样。我们的行政服务团队大学实验动物资源向负责研究的副教务长汇报，并通过大约 1,874 个有效的 IACUC 协议向 582 名 PI 提供服务，该协议利用对 20 多个不同物种的 150,000 多只动物进行每日普查，这些动物居住在超过 240,000 平方英尺的空间内的欢乐空间。兽医参与者将通过讲座和其他结构化教学活动以及用于实验的多种大型和小型动物物种的使用、生物学、护理和疾病的实践经验来获得知识。参与者在选定的实验室接受为期一年的指导性研究培训，在非常成功的科学家的指导下使用转化动物模型设计和开展研究。完成该计划的兽医将有资格获得美国实验动物医学学院 (ACLAM) 的认证。除了各种临床医学轮换之外，还设计了特定的额外轮换，以教育参与者进行实验动物资源计划的管理、设施管理和监管支持。该应用程序的优势在于：(1) 一支久经考验的领导团队，在实验动物医学、住院医师培训、研究和指导主要学术生物医学动物服务项目方面拥有丰富的经验； (2) 16位杰出的联合研究员研究导师，为兽医转化研究提供多种机会； (3) 大型且多样化的研究动物群体，包括许多大型动物模型； (4) 经过验证的、有指导的培训流程，为兽医进行实验动物和研究培训提供支持； (5) 经验丰富的生活经营和畜牧服务补充培训师； (6) 来自专家的诊断服务和实验动物病理学培训 (7) 演讲技巧和公开演讲方面的培训和经验，以及 (8) 另外五名经过 ACLAM 和 ACVIM 认证的兽医，提供个性化的并行培训临床实验动物医学。我们请求资金在未来 5 年内培训另外 3 名兽医。公共卫生相关性（由申请人提供）：将使用 R25 拨款中的资金对兽医进行实验动物医学、研究和领导动物使用计划所需技能的培训。这些兽医专家将通过确保研究动物的健康和福利、确保健康动物提供最佳科学数据以及利用动物进行转化研究，为公共卫生做出贡献。
