DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Veterinarians are well-suited for comparative and biomedical research due to their knowledge in basic physiology applied to multiple animal species and their clinical training. Veterinary specialists in biomedical and comparative research are essential for successful research at all levels and locations and a shortage of veterinarians with the background and training for biomedical research has been documented in reports by the National Academy of Sciences and is predicted to increase. The College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) at Iowa State University (ISU) has a stellar history of educating veterinarians many of whom have entered careers in biomedical research. The CVM at ISU has a cooperative educational agreement with the University of Nebraska at Lincoln (UNL) whereby UNL School of Veterinary medicine educates an additional 25 students per year for two years of the veterinary curriculum. Today, ISU CVM has one of the largest class sizes among U. S. Veterinary Schools and Colleges which makes an excellent pool of student trainees for recruitment into the summer scholar program. The CVM enrolls over 140 graduate students. ISU CVM research funding has increased to $17 million in 2011 with faculty members, including veterinarians who receive NIH grants. Nearby ISU is the USDA/ARS-National Animal Disease Center which is the largest animal research facility in the world with veterinarians dedicated to animal research. ISU CVM began a summer scholar training program for veterinary medical students in1991 and received T35 support in 2001 with renewal in 2008. The T35 has supported 75 trainees during this time. The broader summer scholar program at ISU CVM (supported by Merial, LTD, Iowa Healthy Livestock Advisory Committee, Morris Animal Foundation) has consistently supported 20-25 trainees for 20 years. Many of these enter biomedical research fields. The objective of the T35-supported scholar training and the overall Veterinary Medical Summer Scholars Research Program (SSRP) at Iowa State University is to expose first and second year veterinary medical students to biomedical research by direct laboratory experience and through participation in allied activities including seminars, workshops, journal clubs and presentations. The overall goal of the SSRP is to increase the number of scientifically-trained veterinarians that are successful as biomedical scientists. The objectives and goals are met through a 13 week summer program that includes fruitful laboratory experiences with highly engaged and qualified, NIH-mentors that includes veterinarians in superb facilities; lectures and seminars on animal care, ethics, conflicts, inter-student and mentor interactions, scientific writing; and deep engagement with veterinarians as mentors in biomedical research.

描述（由申请人提供）：兽医非常适合比较和生物医学研究，因为它们在多种动物物种及其临床训练的基本生理学方面的知识。生物医学和比较研究领域的兽医专家对于在各个层面和地点的成功研究以及具有生物医学研究的背景和培训的兽医缺乏至关重要的是，已在美国国家科学院的报告中记录在报告中，预计将增加。爱荷华州立大学（ISU）的兽医学院（CVM）有一个杰出的教育兽医的历史，其中许多人从事生物医学研究的职业。 ISU的CVM与内布拉斯加州大学（UNL）的内布拉斯加州大学达成了合作教育协议，在该大学中，UNL兽医学院每年在两年的兽医课程中每年又有25名学生。如今，ISU CVM是美国兽医学校和学院中最大的班级规模之一，这是招募夏季学者计划的出色学生学员。 CVM招募了140多名研究生。 ISU CVM Research Funding在2011年与包括获得NIH赠款的兽医在内的教职员工增加到了1700万美元。附近的ISU是USDA/ARS-ANTIANTARTANTAINTAIRNIT ANIMATION疾病中心，该中心是世界上最大的动物研究机构，兽医致力于动物研究。 ISU CVM于1991年开始了兽医医学生的夏季学者培训计划，并于2008年在2008年获得T35的支持。在此期间，T35在此期间为75名受训者提供了支持。 ISU CVM的更广泛的夏季学者计划（Merial，Ltd，爱荷华州健康牲畜咨询委员会，莫里斯动物基金会的支持）一直支持20-25名学员20年。其中许多进入生物医学研究领域。爱荷华州立大学的T35支持的学者培训和整个兽医医学夏季学者研究计划（SSRP）的目标是通过直接实验室经验和参与包括研讨会，研讨会，期刊俱乐部和演讲，将一年级和第二年的兽医学学生揭露生物医学研究。 SSRP的总体目标是增加作为生物医学科学家成功的科学训练兽医的数量。目标和目标是通过一个13周的夏季计划实现的，其中包括具有高度参与和合格的NIH-Mentors的富有成果的实验室经验，其中包括兽医在出色的设施中；关于动物护理，伦理，冲突，培养和导师互动的讲座和研讨会，科学写作；并与兽医研究的兽医深度互动。
