DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There is an existing need for talented veterinary scientists trained in basic and translational research who apply the principles of "One Health" to discover the next generation of advances in medicine for the improvement of health in humans. This application for a new institutional T32 grant seeks funds to create an outstanding program for veterinarians to acquire the knowledge and skills in basic science, comparative medicine and translational research in order to develop and apply models of human disease for the purpose of improving human health. The specific goal of our Training Program is to nurture the development of DVM investigators in the broad field of biomedical research with the expectation that these individuals will go on to become independent investigators at academic institutions or industry. This will be achieved by pursing the following Specific Aims: Aim 1) identify a diverse and well-qualified pool of applicants from across the country; Aim 2) provide an inspiring didactic program that is tailored to each applicants learning agenda; Aim 3) acquaint trainees with the ongoing approaches for basic and translational research related to human disease; Aim 4) mentor the trainees in the design, execution, evaluation and presentation of experiments leading to original research and giving the trainees the skills required for independent careers in academics. Through this program, trainees will gain knowledge and technical skills to fully understand and evaluate the pathogenesis of disease in humans as well as animal models of human disease through both didactic coursework and applied training in microbiology, immunology and comparative medicine. Trainees will be able to find mentorship from a successful group of scientists who are dedicated to research training. The mentors/thesis advisors are comprised mostly of experienced preceptors from basic and translational research programs in microbiology, immunology and comparative medicine that include a cadre of veterinarians with an established record in post- graduate training and mentorship of DVM graduates. Their research programs utilize collaborative and multi- disciplinary approaches employing state-of-the-art techniques in cell biology, microbiology, molecular biology and comparative pathology. By observing strong, interactive programs in multiple departments at UCSD and throughout the research community in San Diego, the trainees will have an outstanding opportunity to pursue an agenda for successful professional development. This training program will be administered by faculty associated with the UCSD Center for Veterinary Sciences and Comparative Medicine. As a result of this training program, trainees will gain a comprehensive understanding of hypothesis-based research and gain knowledge and skills required for productive careers in academics that will address the national needs for the development of skilled scientists in mouse pathobiology and comparative medicine relevant to human health.

描述（由申请人提供）：现有的需要接受基础和翻译研究培训的才华横溢的兽医科学家，他们应用了“一种健康”的原理，以发现医学的下一代进步，以改善人类健康。这项新的机构T32赠款的申请寻求资金为兽医创建一个杰出的计划，以获取基础科学，比较医学和转化研究中的知识和技能，以开发和应用人类疾病模型，以改善人类健康。我们的培训计划的具体目标是培养在生物医学研究广泛领域的DVM调查人员的发展，希望这些人继续成为学术机构或行业的独立研究人员。这将通过追求以下特定目的来实现：目标1）确定来自全国各地的多样化且合格的申请人库；目标2）提供一个鼓舞人心的教学计划，该计划是针对每个申请人学习议程的量身定制的；目标3）熟悉与人类疾病有关的基础和转化研究的持续方法；目标4）指导学员的设计，执行，评估和展示实验，导致原始研究，并为受训者提供独立职业所需的技能 学术界。通过该计划，学员将通过教学课程和微生物学，免疫学和比较医学的培训，以及人类疾病的动物模型充分理解和评估人类疾病的发病机理以及人类疾病动物模型。学员将能够从致力于研究培训的一群成功的科学家那里找到指导。导师/论文顾问主要由来自微生物学，免疫学和比较医学的基本和转化研究计划的经验丰富的受体组成，其中包括兽医的干部，并在DVM毕业生的研究生培训和指导方面具有既定记录。他们的研究计划利用了使用最先进的技术，微生物学，分子生物学和比较病理学中采用最先进技术的协作和多学科方法。通过观察UCSD多个部门以及整个圣地亚哥的整个研究社区的强大，互动计划，学员将有一个很好的机会来追求成功的专业发展议程。该培训计划将由与UCSD兽医科学与比较医学中心相关的教师管理。由于这项培训计划，学员将对基于假设的研究并获得学者所需的知识和技能有全面的理解，这些职业将满足国家病理生物学和与人类健康相关的小鼠病理学和比较医学发展的国家需求。
