Comparative Biomedical Sciences Training Program

摘要：兽医处于‘一个健康’战略框架的前沿，这有助于 世界范围内的人类医学、兽医学和生态系统健康之间的合作 利益。兽医在人与动物的界面上的极端重要性怎么强调都不为过，因为 正在进行的新冠肺炎大流行的悲剧性影响生动地说明了，10人中有6人 传染病本质上是人畜共患病。来自美国国家科学院的报告和战略 美国国立卫生研究院基础设施项目办公室(ORIP)的计划强调了全国对兽医的需求 接受生物医学研究培训，以有效应对气候变化对动物和公共健康的影响， 遏制人畜共患疾病的发生，促进人畜健康。 我们将通过以下具体目标满足全国对兽医生物医学科学家的需求： 目标1：培养具备以下技能的下一代独立兽医研究人员 创新和批判性思维、解决问题、稳健的实验方法和严谨的数据 释义。 目标2：不断创新兽医科学家的职业发展机会 资质、科学交流、团队科学、循证导师和学员实践，以及 具有前瞻性的领导力。 兽医学院(SVM)和威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校提供了 研究培训环境，并处于为毕业生提供出色培训的理想位置 从事尖端生物医学研究的兽医。这个项目提供的优秀的研究培训是 突出表现在(1)广泛的多学科组合，由一批具有以下历史的优秀培训人员组成 持续的资金、生产力和对研究生培训的承诺；(2)全国排名的多学科 研究培训计划(比较生物医学博士计划)，主要优势是传染病 疾病与免疫学、健康与疾病的生理学基础、发育生物学/再生 医学；(3)已被证明有能力招募和培训一批生物医学方面的优秀兽医 研究；(4)较强的研究道德和专业技能课程，并可获得一系列 职业/职业发展计划；(5)致力于招收少数族裔学生；以及(6)强有力的 来自支持向量机和校园的机构和行政支持。我们申请资金来支持四个 每年对博士后DVM学员进行为期5年的博士后培训。总的目标是训练 在假设驱动的科学领域中能够在生物医学领域担任领导角色的兽医生物医学科学家 21世纪的研究、学术指导、行业创新和政府服务。

Summary: Veterinarians are at the forefront of the ‘ONE HEALTH’ strategic framework, which facilitates collaborations among human medicine, veterinary medicine and ecosystem health that are of worldwide benefit. The vital importance of veterinarians at the human-animal interface cannot be overstated, as graphically illustrated by the tragic repercussions of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and that 6 of 10 human infectious diseases are zoonotic in nature. Reports from the National Academy of Sciences and the strategic plan of the NIH Office of Infrastructure Programs (ORIP) emphasized the national need for veterinarians trained in biomedical research to effectively deal with effects of climate change on animals and public health, thwart the emergence of zoonotic diseases, and promote human and animal health. We will address the national need for veterinary biomedical scientists through these specific aims: Aim 1: Develop the next generation of independent veterinary medical researchers equipped with skill sets in innovative and critical thinking, problem solving, robust experimental methodologies and rigorous data interpretation. Aim 2: Continually innovate professional development opportunities for veterinary medical scientists in grantsmanship, science communication, team science, evidence-based mentor and mentee practices, and forward-thinking leadership. The School of Veterinary Medicine (SVM) and the University of Wisconsin-Madison offer an exceptional research training environment and are ideally positioned to provide outstanding training to graduate veterinarians in cutting-edge biomedical research. The excellent research training offered by this program is highlighted by the (1) broad multidisciplinary portfolio of an outstanding group of trainers with a history of sustained funding, productivity and commitment to graduate training; (2) nationally ranked multidisciplinary research training program (Comparative Biomedical Sciences PhD program) with major strengths in infectious disease and immunology, physiologic basis of health and disease, and developmental biology/regenerative medicine; (3) proven ability to recruit and train a diverse group of outstanding veterinarians in biomedical research; (4) strong research ethics and professional skills course and access to an array of career/professional development programs; (5) commitment to minority student recruitment; and (6) strong institutional and administrative support from the SVM and campus. We request funds to support four postdoctoral DVM trainees per year to pursue PhD training in a 5-year period. The overall goal is to train veterinary biomedical scientists in hypothesis-driven science who can assume leadership roles in biomedical research, academic instruction, industry innovations, and government service in the 21st century.
