DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This T32 application requests funds to support to experiential training at Colorado State University in molecular, mechanistic, and applied biomedical research to encourage pre-DVM participation in comparative/translational/academic research. Multiple national studies have identified a need to increase veterinary participation in these areas, and student research involvement has significant impact on increasing post-graduate careers in biomedical research. CSU has a well-established history of training DVMs at the predoctoral, combined DVM/PhD, and postdoctoral level; our DVM research trainee alumni include many productive academic faculty, as well as veterinary school deans, leaders of private foundations, diagnostic laboratories and industry groups. We are seeking to expand current programs through the T32 Predoctoral Program for Veterinary Students funding mechanism. An aggressive recruitment strategy will be employed to educate and encourage participation by the most highly qualified candidates from CSU. A summer seminar series and Translational Medicine coursework will focus on elements of the research process, responsible conduct of research, an overview of mentor faculty research projects, and instruction on grant- writing and research data presentation. The one-year program will include participation in both local and national Symposia. Sixty-one mentor faculty (30 with veterinary degrees) will participate, providing (1) strong biomedical research programs in areas of infectious disease, cancer, physiology, and epidemiology-with 265 current year awards totaling more than $33.1M; and, (2) experience in research mentorship of veterinarians and veterinary students (132 veterinary summer students, 139 post-DVM trainees, and 18 DVM/PhD students mentored during the past 10 years). Participants will thus experience a program of research that will bridge basic research to in vivo translation with impact on human and animal health in a time of emerging diseases, biosecurity, and Translational Medicine. The desired outcome of this training program is production of graduate veterinarians with an interest and aptitude in biomedical research, and a tendency to enter the pipeline of post-graduate research training. The program is guided by experienced leadership, counseled by an external advisory committee comprised of expert T32 Program Directors, populated with diverse faculty skilled in research mentorship. This application requests support to support the on-going DVM-PhD training program (which has historically enrolled 16% under-represented minority students) and to support students in a one-year pre-doctoral research experience after the second year of the formal Professional Veterinary Medical Curriculum. Initial support is requested for two students/year with a graduated increase to three positions.

描述（由申请人提供）：该T32申请要求资金支持科罗拉多州立大学分子，机械和应用生物医学研究的体验培训，以鼓励DVM参与比较/转化/学术研究。多项国家研究已经确定有必要增加在这些领域的兽医参与，而学生的研究参与对增加生物医学研究的研究生职业产生了重大影响。 CSU拥有良好的培训DVM的历史，该培训率在杂物前，DVM/PHD和博士后水平；我们的DVM研究学员校友包括许多生产性学术教师，以及兽医学校院长，私人基金会的领导者，诊断实验室和行业团体。我们正在寻求通过针对兽医学生资助机制的T32前计划扩展当前的计划。将采用一种积极的招聘策略来教育和鼓励来自CSU最合格的候选人参与。夏季研讨会系列和转化医学课程将重点关注研究过程的要素，负责任的研究，导师教师研究项目的概述以及授予写作和研究数据展示的教学。为期一年的计划将包括参加本地和国家研讨会。六十一名导师教职员工（30个具有兽医学位的人）将参加（1）（1）在传染病，癌症，生理学和流行病学领域的强大生物医学研究计划，共有265年的现年奖项，总计超过3,310万美元； （2）在兽医和兽医学生的研究指导方面的经验（132名兽医夏季学生，139名DVM后学员和18年的18年DVM/PHD学生）。因此，参与者将体验一项研究计划，该计划将在新兴疾病，生物安全和转化医学时期桥接基础研究，从而对人类和动物健康产生影响。该培训计划的期望结果是生产具有生物医学研究感兴趣和能力的研究生兽医，并且倾向于进入研究生研究培训的渠道。该计划由经验丰富的领导者指导，由由专家T32计划董事组成的外部咨询委员会咨询，该委员会由熟练的研究指导的各种教职员工组成。该申请请求支持以支持正在进行的DVM-PHD培训计划（历史上已经招募了16％的代表性不足的少数民族学生），并在正式专业兽医医学课程的第二年后为期一年的博士前研究经验支持学生。要求两名学生/年的初步支持，分别增加到三个职位。
