Project Summary/Abstract The aim of the Georgia Veterinary Scholars Research Program (GVSP) at the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine (UGA-CVM) is to immerse academically talented veterinary students from across the US in cutting edge research inspiring them toward careers in biomedical research, and fostering in them a deeper understanding of the myriad roles, and vital need, for veterinarians in research. Critical to this aim is the GVSP's commitment to broad, inclusive recruitment of students and careful pairing with strong, cross-disciplinary mentors who are not only capable of providing a thorough exposure to the principles underlying the conduct of research, but who also provide a scientific environment that instills a sense of community. A specific effort is necessary to recruit biomedical scientists with broad medical training, such as our veterinary graduates, as partners in the nation's biomedical research endeavors. Veterinarians are well equipped to provide a critically needed comparative organismal biology approach to the frontiers of biomedical research, including animal cloning, transgenics, development of medical devices, and translational medicine. Veterinarians are also ideally trained to recognize spontaneous animal models of human disease and are key players in the disciplines of public health, emerging infectious diseases and food safety. Nevertheless, veterinary students are often not aware of the wealth of career opportunities in research and in many cases do not recognize the role of veterinarians in these exciting areas. Clearly for the promises of “One Health” and translational medicine to be realized in healthier people and animals, we will need more veterinarians engaged in research. The renewal of our training grant will help us accomplish the important aim of showcasing the excitement and wonder of research careers to future veterinarians with the intent to prompt them to choose research as their career. During the 12- week summer program seven pre-doctoral veterinary student trainees (35 total trainees for the five year project period) are welcomed into the discipline and camaraderie of the scientific community and challenged to think creatively. Fundamental skills are conveyed through seminars on topics including ethics, responsible conduct of research, scientific rigor, animal welfare, and communication skills. Relaxed journal club discussions, team building exercises and site visits to local research organizations contribute to a sense of community and excitement about future research possibilities. The central experience is full time hypothesis-driven research with a mentor of the student's choosing, culminating in written and oral presentations at the university and national levels. The PI is the Director of GVSP and 36 mentors spanning 12 departments in 6 colleges and schools within UGA support the program. An advisory and a mentoring committee further support the progress of the program and the enhancement of the mentor and trainee experiences. The GVSP is designed to capture the imagination of future veterinarians at a formative time to inspire them to develop into independent investigators.

项目摘要/摘要 佐治亚大学兽医学者研究计划（GVSP）的目的 兽医医学（UGA-CVM）是为了使来自美国各地的才华横溢的兽医学生沉浸在 尖端的研究激发了他们从事生物医学研究的职业，并在其中促进了他们的更深层次 了解兽医在研究中的无数角色和重要需求。这个目标至关重要的是GVSP的 致力于对学生进行广泛的，包容的招聘，并仔细与强大的跨学科导师配对 他们不仅能够彻底了解研究行为的原则，还可以 但是，谁也提供了一种科学环境，可以灌输一种社区感。需要特定的努力 招募接受广泛医学培训的生物医学科学家，例如我们的兽医毕业生，作为合作伙伴 国家的生物医学研究努力。兽医有足够的能力提供急需的 比较有机生物学方法对生物医学研究的边界，包括动物克隆， 转基因，医疗设备的开发和转化医学。兽医也经过理想的训练 认识人类疾病的赞助动物模型，并且是公众学科的主要参与者 健康，新兴的传染病和食品安全。然而，兽医学生经常不知道 在研究中以及在许多情况下的职业机会丰富的财富并不认识兽医在 这些令人兴奋的领域。显然，为了“一种健康”的承诺，并在 健康的人和动物，我们将需要更多从事研究的兽医。我们的更新 培训赠款将帮助我们实现展示研究的兴奋和奇迹的重要目的 未来兽医的职业，目的是促使他们选择研究作为职业。在12-期间 周夏季计划七个博士前兽医学生学员（五年计划的总学员总数为35名 时期）受到科学界的学科和友情的欢迎，并挑战了思考 创造性地。基本技能是通过有关伦理在内的主题，负责任的行为来传达的 研究，科学严谨，动物福利和沟通技巧。轻松的期刊俱乐部讨论，团队 建筑练习和对当地研究组织的现场访问有助于社区感和 关于未来研究可能性的兴奋。中心经验是全职假设驱动的研究 学生选择的心理，最终在大学和国家的书面和口头演讲中 水平。 PI是GVSP的主任，36位导师，跨越了6个大学和学校的12个系 UGA支持该计划。咨询和心理委员会进一步支持该计划的进步 以及增强心理和受训者的体验。 GVSP旨在捕获 在成长的时刻对未来兽医的想象，激励他们发展成为独立 调查人员。
