Project Summary/Abstract The aim of the Georgia Veterinary Scholars Program (NIH-GVSP) at the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine (UGA-CVM) is to immerse academically talented veterinary students from across the US in cutting edge research, inspire them toward careers in biomedical research, and foster a deeper understanding of the myriad roles, and vital need, for veterinarians in research. Critical to this aim is the NIH-GVSP’s commitment to broad, inclusive recruitment of students and careful pairing with strong, cross-disciplinary mentors capable of providing a thorough exposure to the principles underlying the conduct of research and providing a scientific environment that instills a sense of community. A specific effort is necessary to recruit biomedical scientists with broad medical training, such as our veterinary graduates, as partners in the nation’s biomedical research endeavors. Veterinarians are well equipped to provide a critically needed comparative organismal biology approach to the frontiers of biomedical research, including animal cloning, transgenics, development of medical devices, and translational medicine. Veterinarians are also ideally trained to recognize spontaneous animal models of human disease and are critical players in public health disciplines, emerging infectious diseases, and food safety. Nevertheless, veterinary students are often not aware of the wealth of career opportunities in research and, in many cases, do not recognize the role of veterinarians in these exciting areas. Clearly, for the promises of “One Health” and translational medicine to be realized in healthier people and animals, we will need more veterinarians engaged in research. The renewal of our training grant will help us accomplish the critical aim of showcasing the excitement and wonder of research careers to future veterinarians to prompt them to choose research as their career. During the 12- week summer program, seven pre-doctoral veterinary student trainees (35 total trainees for the five-year project period) are welcomed into the discipline and camaraderie of the scientific community and challenged to think creatively. Fundamental skills are conveyed through seminars on ethics, responsible conduct of research, scientific rigor, animal welfare, and communication skills. Relaxed journal club discussions, team-building exercises, and site visits to local research organizations contribute to a sense of community and excitement about future research possibilities. The central experience is full-time hypothesis-driven research with a mentor of the student’s choosing, culminating in written and oral presentations at the university and national levels. The PI and the 35 mentors spanning 13 departments in 6 colleges and schools within UGA support the program. The NIH-GVSP is designed to capture the imagination of future veterinarians at a formative time to inspire them to develop into independent investigators.

项目摘要/摘要 佐治亚大学兽医学者计划（NIH-GVSP）的目的 兽医医学（UGA-CVM）是为了使来自美国各地的才华横溢的兽医学生沉浸在 尖端研究，激发他们从事生物医学研究的职业，并促进更深入的了解 兽医在研究中的无数角色和至关重要的需求。这个目标至关重要的是NIH-GVSP 致力于对学生进行广泛的，包容的招聘，并仔细与强大的跨学科导师配对 能够彻底了解进行研究的基本原则，并提供 灌输社区意识的科学环境。招募生物医学是必要的特定努力 接受广泛的医学培训的科学家，例如我们的兽医毕业生，作为美国生物医学的合作伙伴 研究努力。兽医有足够的能力提供迫切需要的比较生物 生物医学研究前沿的生物学方法，包括动物克隆，转化，发展 医疗设备和翻译医学。兽医也经过理想的训练，可以认可赞助 人类疾病的动物模型，是公共卫生学科中的关键参与者，新兴的感染力 疾病和食品安全。然而，兽医学生通常不知道职业的财富 研究的机会，在许多情况下，不认识兽医在这些令人兴奋的领域的作用。 显然，为了“一种健康”的承诺，将医学翻译成更健康的人和 动物，我们将需要更多从事研究的兽医。我们的培训赠款的续签将帮助我们 实现向未来兽医展示研究职业的兴奋和奇迹的关键目的 促使他们选择研究作为职业。在为期12周的夏季计划中，七个前博士 欢迎兽医学生学员（五年项目期间总学员）受到欢迎 和科学界的友情，并挑战了创造性的思考。传达了基本技能 通过道德准则，负责任的研究，科学严谨，动物福利和交流 技能。放松的期刊俱乐部讨论，团队建设练习以及对当地研究组织的现场访问 对社区意识的贡献和对未来研究可能性的兴奋。中心体验 是全职假设驱动的研究，对学生的选择有心态，最终以书面和口头为顶 大学和国家一级的演讲。 PI和35位导师跨越了13个部门 UGA中的大学和学校支持该计划。 NIH-GVSP旨在捕捉想象力 未来的兽医在一个成长的时期激发他们发展成为独立研究人员的时间。
