项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The current proposal seeks to build on the University of California, San Diego's (UCSD) existing and successful training program, and provide an intensive and sustained training experience for graduate veterinarians with a DVM or VMD degree in preparation for a career as a Laboratory Animal Medicine veterinarian in translational biomedical research. Funds are requested for the training opportunity of an additional three veterinarians over a five-year period. The first two years of the three-year training program provide general and specialized training in the diverse tasks and duties of a laboratory animal veterinarian. Trainees will gain expertise working with the wide range of species present at UCSD and they are also afforded multiple unique opportunities with the wider range of species present at various zoological collections and research institutions of the San Diego community. The didactic portion of the training program will encompass a minimum of 200 hours with faculty and is delivered through multiple modalities including classes, seminar series, rounds, and intensive review sessions. Candidate training for the development of their ability to perform basic research will be concentrated in the third year. During this year, training will focus on enhancing the participants' awareness of the scientific process, introduction to the concepts for proper conduct of research, conducting research on a mentored research project, developing research techniques, and refining their skills to present and communicate research findings. Participants will be paired with a research mentor who maintains a well-funded research laboratory and is performing cutting edge research into areas such as infectious disease, metabolic disease, cancer biology and treatment, advanced imaging, signal transduction and signaling, and immunology. UCSD's Director of the Animal Care Program (ACP), with over 20 years of veterinary and research experience and a diplomate of the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine, will have primary responsibility for the training program. The UCSD training team also includes four board certified veterinarians (anesthesia, medicine, pathology, and microbiology); four accomplished Laboratory Animal Medicine veterinarians with almost 70 years of combined biomedical research experience; three DVM/Ph.D. veterinarians with ongoing and well-funded research laboratories and; multiple MD and/or Ph.D. degree principal investigators with cutting edge NIH-funded research programs ready to serve as mentors to the postdoctoral trainees in Laboratory Animal Medicine. Participants will benefit from the active participation of 22 veterinarians, mostly from institutions in the immediate vicinity, which provides a breadth of research, species and learning opportunities for LAM veterinarians that may be unmatched in the country.

描述（由申请人提供）：当前提案旨在以加州大学圣地亚哥分校 (UCSD) 现有且成功的培训计划为基础，为具有 DVM 或 VMD 学位的研究生兽医提供强化和持续的培训经验，为将来的职业生涯做好准备。从事转化生物医学研究的实验动物医学兽医。需要资金在五年内为另外三名兽医提供培训机会。三年培训计划的前两年提供有关实验动物兽医各种任务和职责的一般和专门培训。学员将获得与加州大学圣地亚哥分校现有的各种物种合作的专业知识，并且他们还将获得与圣地亚哥社区的各个动物收藏和研究机构中存在的更广泛物种接触的多种独特机会。培训计划的教学部分将包括至少 200 小时的教师授课时间，并通过多种形式提供，包括课堂、研讨会系列、查房和强化复习课程。候选人基础研究能力发展的培训将集中在第三年。今年的培训将侧重于提高参与者对科学过程的认识、介绍正确进行研究的概念、对指导研究项目进行研究、开发研究技术以及提高他们展示和交流研究成果的技能。参与者将与一名研究导师配对，该导师拥有一个资金充足的研究实验室，正在传染病、代谢疾病、癌症生物学和治疗、先进成像、信号转导和信号传导以及免疫学等领域进行前沿研究。加州大学圣地亚哥分校动物护理项目 (ACP) 主任拥有 20 多年的兽医和研究经验，也是美国实验动物医学学院的文凭，他将主要负责该培训项目。 UCSD 培训团队还包括四名经过委员会认证的兽医（麻醉、医学、病理学和微生物学）；四位经验丰富的实验动物医学兽医，拥有近 70 年的综合生物医学研究经验；三位 DVM/Ph.D.拥有持续且资金充足的研究实验室的兽医；多个医学博士和/或博士学位学位首席研究员，拥有美国国立卫生研究院资助的尖端研究项目，准备充当实验动物医学博士后学员的导师。参与者将受益于 22 名兽医的积极参与，其中大多数来自附近的机构，这为 LAM 兽医提供了国内可能无与伦比的广泛的研究、物种和学习机会。
