DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This T32 application requests funds to support to experiential training at Colorado State University in molecular, mechanistic, and applied biomedical research to encourage pre-DVM participation in comparative/translational/academic research. Multiple national studies have identified a need to increase veterinary participation in these areas, and student research involvement has significant impact on increasing post-graduate careers in biomedical research. CSU has a well-established history of training DVMs at the predoctoral, combined DVM/PhD, and postdoctoral level; our DVM research trainee alumni include many productive academic faculty, as well as veterinary school deans, leaders of private foundations, diagnostic laboratories and industry groups. We are seeking to expand current programs through the T32 Predoctoral Program for Veterinary Students funding mechanism. An aggressive recruitment strategy will be employed to educate and encourage participation by the most highly qualified candidates from CSU. A summer seminar series and Translational Medicine coursework will focus on elements of the research process, responsible conduct of research, an overview of mentor faculty research projects, and instruction on grant- writing and research data presentation. The one-year program will include participation in both local and national Symposia. Sixty-one mentor faculty (30 with veterinary degrees) will participate, providing (1) strong biomedical research programs in areas of infectious disease, cancer, physiology, and epidemiology-with 265 current year awards totaling more than $33.1M; and, (2) experience in research mentorship of veterinarians and veterinary students (132 veterinary summer students, 139 post-DVM trainees, and 18 DVM/PhD students mentored during the past 10 years). Participants will thus experience a program of research 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 desired outcome of this training program is production of graduate veterinarians with an interest and aptitude in biomedical research, and a tendency to enter the pipeline of post-graduate research training. The program is guided by experienced leadership, counseled by an external advisory committee comprised of expert T32 Program Directors, populated with diverse faculty skilled in research mentorship. This application requests support to support the on-going DVM-PhD training program (which has historically enrolled 16% under-represented minority students) and to support students in a one-year pre-doctoral research experience after the second year of the formal Professional Veterinary Medical Curriculum. Initial support is requested for two students/year with a graduated increase to three positions.

描述（由申请人提供）：此 T32 申请要求资金支持科罗拉多州立大学在分子、机械和应用生物医学研究方面的体验式培训，以鼓励 DVM 预科生参与比较/转化/学术研究。多项国家研究已经确定需要增加兽医在这些领域的参与，学生的研究参与对增加生物医学研究的研究生职业具有重大影响。科罗拉多州立大学在培养博士前、DVM/博士和博士后级别的 DVM 方面拥有悠久的历史；我们的 DVM 研究实习生包括许多富有成效的学术教师、兽医学院院长、私人基金会、诊断实验室和行业团体的领导者。我们正在寻求通过 T32 兽医学生博士前项目资助机制扩大现有项目。将采用积极的招聘策略来教育和鼓励科罗拉多州立大学最优秀的候选人参与。夏季研讨会系列和转化医学课程将重点关注研究过程的要素、负责任的研究行为、导师研究项目的概述以及拨款写作和研究数据呈现的指导。为期一年的计划将包括参加地方和国家研讨会。 61 名导师（30 名拥有兽医学位）将参与其中，提供 (1) 传染病、癌症、生理学和流行病学领域强大的生物医学研究项目——本年度颁发 265​​ 项奖项，总金额超过 3310 万美元； (2) 兽医和兽医学生的研究指导经验（过去 10 年指导过 132 名兽医暑期学生、139 名 DVM 后实习生和 18 名 DVM/PhD 学生）。因此，参与者将体验一个研究计划，该计划将基础研究与体内转化联系起来，在新出现的疾病、生物安全和转化医学时代对人类和动物健康产生影响。该培训计划的预期结果是培养对生物医学研究有兴趣和能力的研究生兽医，并倾向于进入研究生研究培训的渠道。该项目由经验丰富的领导层指导，由 T32 项目专家专家组成的外部咨询委员会提供咨询，该委员会由擅长研究指导的多元化教师组成。该申请请求支持正在进行的 DVM-PhD 培训计划（该计划历来招收了 16% 的少数族裔学生），并支持学生在正式专业课程第二年后获得一年的博士前研究经验兽医医学课程。最初要求每年为两名学生提供支持，然后逐渐增加到三个职位。
