SUMMARY Veterinary specialists with biomedical and comparative research skills are essential for ensuring One Health and meeting the mission of the NIH; however, a shortage of veterinarians with biomedical research training has resulted in gaps in research expertise diversity and a lack of proficiency in research animal model development in the biomedical workforce. The College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) at Iowa State University (ISU) has an enduring history of educating veterinarians, many of whom have entered careers in biomedical research. Our incoming (2018-19) student class is historically our largest (127 students) and most diverse, and is augmented by additional students from cooperative educational agreements with the University of Nebraska at Lincoln Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences (UNL-DVM, 27 students) and Tuskegee University (1 student) leading to a substantial pool of students for recruitment as T35-funded scholars in our Summer Scholar Research Program (SSRP). Additionally, despite escalating competition in biomedical research funding, awards from various federal (eg. NIH, USDA, DOD, FDA), industry, stakeholder, and foundation sources to ISU CVM researchers, including mentors on this T35 proposal, have increased from $13 million to almost $18 million in the past 3 years. This combination of prospective scholars, mentor research accomplishments, and collaboration with local, regional, and national institutions, along with demonstrated historical achievement of our SSRP speaks to the potential for our success in training the next generation of veterinarian researchers with assistance from this T35 training program. The overall goal of the T35-supported scholar training project and the SSRP at ISU CVM is to increase the workforce in One Health by empowering veterinary medical students with interest and skills in biomedical research with a 13-week training program during summer periods to enhance their understanding of key aspects of, and provide a pathway into, the field of biomedical research. In this new application, we outline a plan for achieving our goals by demonstrating the success of our faculty mentor pool, establishing a matching process of mentors with scholars that is intended to identify students most likely to pursue a career in research that supports the NIH mission, conducting a training program that includes fruitful laboratory experiences guided by engaged and qualified mentors in state-of-the-art facilities, and enhancing the impact and diversity of the program. The work proposed in this application will help to provide a pipeline of exceptional veterinary students guided into a career path in biomedical research and will aid in reducing the critical shortage of veterinarian researchers needed to address One Health challenges.

概括 具有生物医学和比较研究技能的兽医专家对于确保“同一个健康”至关重要 并履行 NIH 的使命；然而，受过生物医学研究培训的兽医短缺 导致研究专业知识多样性方面的差距以及研究动物模型开发方面缺乏熟练程度 在生物医学劳动力中。爱荷华州立大学 (ISU) 兽医学院 (CVM) 拥有 教育兽医的历史悠久，其中许多人已进入生物医学研究领域。我们的 即将入学的（2018-19）学生班级是我们历史上规模最大（127 名学生）且最多样化的班级，并且得到了扩充 由与内布拉斯加大学林肯分校签订合作教育协议的其他学生提供 兽医和生物医学科学（UNL-DVM，27 名学生）和塔斯基吉大学（1 名学生） 我们的暑期学者研究计划有大量学生可招募为 T35 资助的学者 （SSRP）。此外，尽管生物医学研究经费的竞争不断升级，来自不同领域的奖项 ISU CVM 研究人员的联邦（例如 NIH、USDA、DOD、FDA）、行业、利益相关者和基金会来源， 包括 T35 提案的导师在内，在过去 3 年里从 1300 万美元增加到近 1800 万美元 年。未来学者、导师研究成果以及与 地方、区域和国家机构，以及我们 SSRP 所取得的历史成就说明了这一点 我们在以下机构的帮助下成功培训下一代兽医研究人员的潜力 这个T35训练计划。 T35 支持的学者培训项目和 ISU CVM 的 SSRP 的总体目标是提高 通过赋予兽医学生对生物医学的兴趣和技能，培养 One Health 的劳动力 在夏季进行为期 13 周的培训计划进行研究，以增强他们对关键知识的理解 生物医学研究领域的各个方面，并提供进入生物医学研究领域的途径。在这个新应用程序中，我们概述了 计划通过展示我们的教师导师库的成功来实现我们的目标，建立匹配的 导师与学者的过程，旨在确定最有可能从事研究职业的学生 支持 NIH 使命，开展培训计划，其中包括丰富的实验室经验 由敬业且合格的导师在最先进的设施中进行指导，并增强影响力和多样性 程序。本申请中提出的工作将有助于提供优秀兽医的管道 引导学生进入生物医学研究的职业道路，并将有助于减少生物医学研究的严重短缺 兽医研究人员需要应对同一个健康挑战。
