DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We request support for 6 summer veterinary research fellowships at Wake Forest School of Medicine, as part of a multi-level training program in comparative medicine and research. The national shortage of veterinary scientists in biomedical research is well documented in terms of vacant veterinary research positions and unmet collaborative needs. This shortage has resulted in deficits in the quality of research findings and lost productivity among researchers using animals. Correcting the dearth of veterinary researchers requires education of veterinary students regarding research methods and opportunities and the unique value of their professional skills. Early exposure to research during veterinary school is the most promising strategy. Therefore, the proposed summer research program seeks to expose veterinary students to biomedical research through practical experience. Objectives are (1) To provide a structured summer research experience at Wake Forest School of Medicine; (2) to teach students in the program the basic elements of hypothesis-driven research, grant-writing, and data analysis; (3) to provide training in ethics and professionalism in research; and (4) to provide the students with experience in oral and written presentation of scientific findings. Training will be principally accomplished by one-on-one mentoring through completion of a research project guided by a senior researcher chosen from a pool of 28 program faculty (including 11 veterinarians) in diverse fields including pathology, comparative medicine, developmental psychology, behavior, substance abuse, surgery, physiology/pharmacology, neurobiology, rheumatology/immunology, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, nutrition, cancer, radiation countermeasures, and reproductive medicine/obstetrics/gynecology/women's health. Students will also participate in a dedicated short course in research survival skills, and in ongoing seminars and journal clubs in the Section on Comparative Medicine. Students will write a research proposal and a final report of their findings, and will be encouraged to present their findings nationally and to publish. This program will provide opportunities for original scientific thought, ethical reflection, and acquisition of critical skills, in a setting uniquely supportive of veterinarians as independent researchers.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们要求支持Wake Forest医学院的6个夏季兽医研究奖学金，这是比较医学和研究的多层次培训计划的一部分。在空缺的兽医研究职位和未满足的协作需求方面，国家对生物医学研究中兽医科学家的缺乏。这种短缺导致研究结果质量和 使用动物的研究人员的生产力失去了生产力。纠正兽医研究人员的缺乏，需要对兽医学生进行有关研究方法和机会的教育以及其专业技能的独特价值。兽医学校期间早期接触研究是最有前途的策略。 因此，拟议的夏季研究计划旨在通过实践经验使兽医研究暴露于生物医学研究。目标是（1）在Wake Forest医学院提供结构化的夏季研究经验； （2）在计划中教学生假设驱动的研究，授予写作和数据分析的基本要素； （3）提供道德培训和 研究专业精神； （4）为学生提供科学发现的口头和书面介绍的经验。 Training will be principally accomplished by one-on-one mentoring through completion of a research project guided by a senior researcher chosen from a pool of 28 program faculty (including 11 veterinarians) in diverse fields including pathology, comparative medicine, developmental psychology, behavior, substance abuse, surgery, physiology/pharmacology, neurobiology, rheumatology/immunology, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes,营养，癌症，辐射对策和生殖医学/妇产科/妇女健康。学生还将参加研究生存技巧的专门简短课程，以及在比较医学部分的持续研讨会和期刊俱乐部。 学生将撰写一份研究建议和他们的发现的最终报告，并鼓励在全国范围内介绍他们的发现并发表。这 计划将为原始的科学思想，道德思考和批准技能的获得提供机会，以独特地支持兽医作为独立研究人员。
