Project Summary We are requesting continuing support for 5 summer veterinary research fellowships at Wake Forest School of Medicine, as part of a multilevel training program in comparative medicine and biomedical research. Our smaller training program is an impactful and unique opportunity for student to see DVMs as research scientists in a medical school environment. Students will also gain exposure to the use of NHPs and other animals as translational models for human health. 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 and the diversity of career options available post-graduation from 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 26 program faculty (over a third of mentors are veterinarians) in diverse fields including pathology, comparative medicine, biology of aging, surgery, physiology/pharmacology, neurobiology, rheumatology/immunology, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, nutrition, cancer, radiation countermeasures, and reproductive medicine/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 within an environment that is singly aimed at improving human health and the promotion of translational medicine.

项目摘要 我们要求在Wake Forest School的5个夏季兽医研究奖学金中继续支持 作为比较医学和生物医学研究的多级培训计划的一部分。我们的 较小的培训计划是学生将DVM视为研究的有影响力和独特的机会 医学院环境中的科学家。学生还将获得使用NHP和其他的使用 动物作为人类健康的翻译模型。国家生物医学科学家的国家短缺 从空置的兽医研究职位和未满足的协作需求方面，研究有充分的记录。 这种短缺导致了研究结果的质量和生产力降低 研究人员使用动物。纠正兽医研究人员的死亡需要教育兽医 关于研究方法和机会的学生以及其专业技能的独特价值。 早期接触研究和职业选择的多样性，可从兽医那里提供毕业后的毕业后 学校是最有前途的策略。因此，拟议的夏季研究计划旨在暴露 通过实践经验，兽医研究的兽医研究。目标是（1）提供 Wake Forest医学院的结构化夏季研究经验； （2）教学生 为假设驱动的研究，赠款写作和数据分析编写基本要素； （3）提供 研究伦理学和专业精神的培训； （4）为学生提供口头经验 科学发现的书面介绍。培训将主要由一对一的心理完成 通过完成由16个计划池中选择的高级研究人员指导的研究项目 在潜水员领域的教师（超过三分之一的导师是兽医），包括病理学，比较医学， 衰老，外科，生理学/药理学，神经生物学，风湿病学/免疫学，高血压，高血压， 心血管疾病，糖尿病，营养，癌症，辐射对策和生殖 医学/妇女健康。学生还将参加研究生存的专门简短课程 在比较医学的部分中，技能，以及正在进行的半手和期刊俱乐部。学生会写 研究建议和他们的发现的最终报告，并鼓励他们提出他们的发现 全国并发表。该计划将为原始的科学思想提供机会 反思和获取关键技能，以独特地支持兽医作为独立 研究人员在一个旨在改善人类健康和促进的环境中 翻译医学。
