Project Summary Veterinarians are broadly trained health professionals uniquely qualified to participate in biomedical research, having an understanding of health and disease at the organismal level with an appreciation of comparative biology1,2.The “One Health” concept, integrating discoveries in both human and veterinary medicine, has received increased attention with new and emerging zoonoses, as well as increasingly common chronic conditions (e.g., cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus), and increased concerns with the effects of environmental and dietary toxins on fetal and early stages of development. As translational research with animal models continue to expand to approximately half of all current NIH research projects1, veterinarians, particularly those with research training, make increasingly valuable contributions to biomedical research.3 Reports by National Academy of Sciences National Research Council Committees concluded that there is a critical shortage of such veterinarians4,5. The Texas A&M University summer Veterinary Student Research Training Program (VMSRTP) is evolving and expanding during our next T35 renewal period. In addition to our previous goal to introduce veterinary students to the biomedical research environment to entice trainees to discover research as an exciting career option, we will now expand our program recruitment efforts to include veterinary students who have previous research experience. Providing these experienced students with a robust summer biomedical research experience with experienced federally funded mentors and enhanced training in responsible conduct of research methods and scientific communication skills will likely enhance their individual research successes, and further establish their interest and commitment to veterinary careers in biomedical research. In this competitive renewal, the program will be led by a new Program Director, a new Program Coordinator, a reconfigured Advisory Committee, and a more focused research mentor base with 27 experienced mentors with strong federal extramural biomedical funding. The summer program includes: 1) biomedical research in a mentor’s laboratory; (2) at least 12 hours formal training in responsible conduct of research; (3) weekly lunchtime (hour-long) training sessions in scientific communication via oral and poster presentations, abstract and manuscript preparation, as well as training in critical evaluation and presentation of primary journal articles; (4) oral research presentations in the annual CVM research symposium; and 5) research poster presentations at the National Veterinary Scholars Symposium. The program has exceptional institutional support and a broad array of state-of-the-art facilities, including preclinical GLP labs, a national biodefense lab, primate center, strong institutional collaborations, and a recently funded DHHS Biodefense vaccine center. A major obstacle to the efforts of academic institutions to produce more research veterinarians is the difficulty of providing adequate salary sources to introduce trainees to research. The training positions provided by this T35 would assist recruiting efforts, increase numbers of veterinarians in research, and help alleviate this national shortage.

项目摘要 兽医是受过广泛培训的卫生专业人员，有资格参加生物医学研究， 在有机水平上了解健康和疾病，并欣赏比较 生物学1，2。“一个健康”概念，整合了人类和兽医中的发现， 新兴和新兴的人畜共患病以及越来越常见的慢性，引起了人们的关注 疾病（例如心血管疾病和糖尿病），对 胎儿和早期发育阶段的环境和饮食毒素。作为动物的翻译研究 模型继续扩展到当前所有NIH研究项目的大约一半，兽医，特别是 接受研究培训的人，为生物医学研究做出越来越有价值的贡献。3 国家科学院国家研究委员会委员会得出结论，存在严重的短缺 这样的兽医4,5。德克萨斯A＆M大学夏季兽医学生研究培训计划 （VMSRTP）在下一个T35续签期间正在发展和扩展。除了我们以前的目标 向兽医研究环境介绍兽医学生，以吸引受训者发现研究 一个令人兴奋的职业选择，我们现在将扩大计划招聘工作以包括兽医 具有以前研究经验的学生。为这些经验丰富的学生提供强大的 夏季生物医学研究经验，经验丰富的联邦资助导师和增强的培训 负责任的研究方法和科学沟通技巧可能会增强其个人 研究成功，并进一步建立了他们对生物医学兽医职业的兴趣和承诺 研究。在此竞争性续约中，该计划将由新计划主管领导，这是一个新计划 协调员，一个重新配置的咨询委员会以及更重点的研究心理基础，具有27个经验 具有强大的联邦政府生物医学资金的导师。夏季计划包括：1）生物医学 心理实验室的研究； （2）至少12小时的负责任进行研究的正式培训； （3） 每周午餐时间（长达一个小时）通过口头和海报演示的科学交流中的培训， 摘要和手稿准备，以及主要评估和介绍的培训 文章； （4）年度CVM研究研讨会中的口腔研究演讲； 5）研究海报 在国家兽医学者研讨会上的演讲。该计划具有卓越的机构支持 以及各种各样的最先进的设施，包括临床前GLP实验室，国家生物福特实验室，私人 中心，强大的机构合作以及最近资助的DHHS Biodefense疫苗中心。专业 学术机构努力生产更多研究兽医的障碍是提供的困难 足够的薪水来源向受训者介绍研究。该T35提供的培训职位将 协助招聘工作，增加研究中的兽医数量，并帮助减轻这一国家短缺。
