Project Summary/Abstract The critical national shortage of veterinary scientists with PhD training who can provide their unique expertise in biomedical research recognized. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and National Research Council have recognized that veterinarians are broadly trained health professionals who are uniquely qualified to lead biomedical research, having an understanding of disease in the context of the whole organism. The Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine (TAMU CVM) T32 training program is a three-year post-doctoral training program with the objective of providing PhD training to veterinarians in cutting edge biomedical research approaches and address the national need for this expertise. This renewal builds upon two previous successful project periods, 2010-2014 and 2015-2020, under the directorship of Dr. Ann Kier, who will assume an Advisor role to the PD (Albert Mulenga) and this renewal and serve on student committees. The TAMU CVM T32 will recruit outstanding trainees DVMS. In previous budget periods, trainees were recruited after they had completed their DVM residency program at the TAMU CVM or other schools in different specialties and had passed their specialty boards. During the residency program, prospective trainees with expressed desire to join the T32 program are advised to take relevant coursework pertinent to the PhD training. In this way, trainees will focus on conducting their dissertation research and complete PhD degree requirement within the three years that is supported under T32 funding. In the event that the trainee does not meet requirement for PhD graduation during the three-year T32 support, the mentor will provide support. During the two project periods, the program recruited 14 DVMs into graduate school. Of the 14 trainees, eight have graduated with their PhDs and seven have taken employment in biomedical research, one is in a temporary private practice, one is on schedule to complete her PhD, and five are still in training. Of the five; one trainee on track to finish in spring of 2020. Of the five, one trainee is on track to finish in spring of 2020 and the remaining are scheduled to graduate during this renewal: one trainee in year one of this renewal, and two in year two, and one in year 3. The NIH has recognized the fact that although the veterinary curriculum is analogous to medical school training, it provides an added benefit, the comparative nature of training in normal anatomy/physiology and abnormal disease states, providing an excellent basis for biomedical disease inquiry. This specialized training uniquely prepares veterinarian researchers to contribute to biomedical research in the modeling of human pathophysiology using laboratory animal models. The NIH Roadmap for Medical Research is designed to open up new opportunities to tackle the multifactorial causes of diseases not yet understood, particularly those associated with a longer lived, aging population, including heart disease, obesity, diabetes mellitus, autoimmunity, and increased susceptibility to infectious diseases. The comparative nature of their training equips veterinarians with insight and expertise to conduct clinical research.

项目总结/摘要 国家严重缺乏兽医科学家与博士培训谁可以提供他们独特的 生物医学研究的专业知识得到认可。美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）和国家研究 理事会已经认识到兽医是经过广泛培训的卫生专业人员， 领导生物医学研究，在整个生物体的背景下了解疾病。的 德克萨斯A&M兽医学院（TAMU CVM）T32培训计划是一个为期三年的博士后 培训计划的目标是为兽医提供前沿生物医学研究的博士培训 方法和解决国家对这一专门知识的需求。这次更新建立在前两次成功的基础上。 项目期间，2010-2014年和2015-2020年，由Ann Kier博士担任董事，他将担任顾问 角色PD（阿尔伯特Mulenga）和这个更新，并担任学生委员会。TAMU CVM T32将 招募优秀学员DVMS。在以往的预算期间，受训人员是在完成培训后征聘的。 他们在TAMU CVM或其他不同专业的学校的DVM驻留计划，并通过了他们的 专业委员会。在实习计划期间，有意愿加入T32的潜在学员 计划建议采取相关的课程有关的博士培训。通过这种方式，学员将专注于 在三年内完成博士学位要求，即 由T32资助。如果受训人员在培训期间不符合博士毕业要求， 三年T32支持，导师将提供支持。在两个项目期间，该计划招募了 14名DVM进入研究生院。在14名受训人员中，有8名博士毕业，7名 一个在生物医学研究中就业，一个在临时私人诊所工作，一个按时完成她的工作 博士，还有五个还在训练中。在这五名学员中，有一名学员将于2020年春季完成。在这五个人中， 培训生有望在2020年春季完成，其余人员计划在本次更新期间毕业： 第一年续约一名学员，第二年续约两名，第三年续约一名。 美国国立卫生研究院已经认识到，虽然兽医课程类似于医学院， 培训，它提供了一个额外的好处，在正常的解剖/生理训练的比较性质， 异常疾病状态，为生物医学疾病查询提供了良好的基础。这种专门的训练 独特的准备兽医研究人员作出贡献的生物医学研究中的建模人类 使用实验室动物模型的病理生理学。NIH医学研究路线图旨在开放 创造新的机会，解决尚未了解的疾病的多因素原因，特别是 与长寿、老龄化人口相关，包括心脏病、肥胖、糖尿病， 自身免疫性和对传染病的易感性增加。他们训练装备的比较性质 具有洞察力和专业知识的兽医进行临床研究。
