ABSTRACT Veterinarian-scientists provide critical disciplinary and technical expertise for advancing biomedical research. Due to their broad understanding of animal anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and disease, they possess key knowledge for cross-species comparative medicine and for experimentally-induced and naturally occurring animal models of human diseases. Veterinarian-scientists also provide contributions to human welfare through critical roles in One Health initiatives, including in global food security and in emerging and zoonotic diseases. Of importance is that approximately 75% of recently emerging infectious diseases affecting humans are diseases of animal origin. However, the US National Research Council, an NIH Physician-Scientist Workforce Working Group Report, and the NIH Office of Research Infrastructure Programs have all emphasized that the veterinarian-scientist workforce is far underrepresented and underutilized in biomedical research. Reasons for this include limited access by veterinary students to biomedical research programs and appropriate training. The objective of our “Veterinary Summer Scholars in Comparative Medicine” T35 training program is to provide direct biomedical research experiences to first and second-year veterinary students to increase the numbers of researchers in the veterinary-scientist pipeline. Our approach will consist of 1) providing opportunities to conduct biomedical research in an environment of collaboration and discovery provided by mentors who are basic and clinical-scientists, and 2) providing research training in the form of lectures and discussions focused on responsible conduct and ethics in research, experimental design and quality assurance, research communication, and career pathways in the biomedical sciences. New innovations described in this renewal application include increased opportunities for continued research experiences during veterinary school, as well as interprofessional interactions by our veterinary students with other health professionals to promote team-science. The proposed T35 training program involves a critical mass of faculty mentors from our comprehensive Academic Health Center at the University of Minnesota for providing multidisciplinary and state-of-the-art research experiences.

抽象的 兽医科学家为推进生物医学研究提供了关键的学科和技术专长。 由于它们对动物解剖学，生理学，药理学和疾病的广泛了解，他们拥有 跨物种比较医学的关键知识以及实验诱导的和自然发生的关键知识 人类疾病的动物模型。兽医科学家还通过 在一项健康计划中的关键作用，包括全球粮食安全以及新兴和人畜共患病。 重要的是，最近有75％的最近出现的影响人类的传染病是 动物来源的疾病。但是，美国国家研究委员会，NIH医师科学家劳动力 工作组报告和NIH研究基础设施计划办公室都强调 在生物医学研究中，兽医科学家的劳动力人数远远低于代表性，并且不足。原因 这包括兽医对生物医学研究计划的有限访问和适当的培训。 我们“比较医学兽医夏季学者” T35培训计划的目的是提供 直接向第一年和二年级兽医学生进行直接生物医学研究经验，以增加 兽医管道中的研究人员。我们的方法将包括1）提供机会 在导师提供的合作与发现环境中进行生物医学研究 基本和临床科学家，以及2）以讲座和讨论的形式提供研究培训 关于研究，实验设计和质量保证的负责任行为和道德，研究 在生物医学科学中的沟通和职业途径。此续约中描述的新创新 应用程序包括增加兽医学校持续研究经验的机会， 以及我们的兽医学生与其他卫生专业人员的跨专业互动以促进 团队科学。拟议的T35培训计划涉及我们的重要教师导师 明尼苏达大学的全面学术健康中心提供多学科和 最先进的研究经验。
