Biomedical Research Experience for Veterinary Students

正如几项研究所确定的那样，国家迫切需要兽医 在生物医学研究界。NRSA的长期目标是短期的 机构研究培训助学金，兽医生物医学研究经验 学生(BREV)，继续吸引着兽医在 生物医学研究。有两个目的，一是短期的独立研究 在由积极的实验室和导师提供的发现环境中进行项目。这个 该计划涵盖了研究项目的整个自然生命周期。它的设计是为了让学生 有机会帮助规划将要进行的研究，进行文献回顾， 制定研究方案，进行实验，并如实展示数据 以及项目完成的时间。虽然这些项目被设计为 在暑假期间完成，当地学生有机会继续他们的工作 在兽医二年级、三年级和四年级的选修课上 课程设置。其次，该计划将为学生提供重要的、非实验室的 以讲座、讨论、实地考察和团队合作的形式研究相关经验 建筑练习。讲座和讨论的主题将包括实验设计。 并进行数据分析、研究交流、文献检索与评价、使用 动物在研究、伦理、动物福利和负责任的研究行为中的作用。 由当地专家就当代主题，如干细胞生物学， 转化医学，以及生物医学研究方面的培训和职业机会 继续有条不紊。实地考察将使学者们接触到这项研究 灵长类中心、医学研究所、医学院校园的环境， 和生物医学研究公司在一个技术中心。这些活动加在一起将 开始让学者们对研究的多样性和深度有一个了解 当他们毕业时，他们可以获得的机会。有了续签或这笔赠款， BREVS计划将继续与8名NIH学者一起提供额外5年的支持。这 与我们的成功、对该项目兴趣的增加以及我们的继续 努力吸引其他云服务器的学生。该计划的目的是 让专业学生作为一个小组，单独沉浸在一门令人兴奋的科学中 以可识别的研究为中心的基于问题解决的环境 项目。

As determined by several studies there is a critical national need for veterinarians in the biomedical research community. The long-term objective of this NRSA Short-Term Institutional Research Training Grant, Biomedical Research Experience for Veterinary Students (BREVS), continues to be the attraction of veterinarians to careers in biomedical research. There are two aims, first is a short-term independent research project in an environment of discovery provided by an active laboratory and mentor. The program spans the natural life of a research project. It is designed to afford the student the opportunity to help plan the studies to be conducted, conduct a literature review, develop a research proposal, conduct the experiments, and present the data as it evolves and when the project is completed. While these projects are designed to be completed during the summer, local students have the opportunity to continue their work during elective blocks during the second, third and fourth years of the veterinary curriculum. Secondly, the program will provide students with significant, non-laboratory research relevant experiences in the form of lectures, discussions, field trips, and team building exercises. Topics for lectures and discussions will include experimental design and data analysis, research communication, literature searching and evaluation, the use of animals in research, ethics, animal welfare, and the responsible conduct of research. Specific lectures by local experts on contemporary topics such as stem cell biology, translational medicine, and training and career opportunities in biomedical research will continue to be organized. Field trips will expose the scholars to the research environments of a primate center, medical research institute, medical school campus, and biomedical research companies in a technology center. Together these events will begin to provide the scholars with an understanding the diversity and depth of research opportunities available to them when they graduate. With the renewal or this grant, the BREVS program will continue with 8 NIH scholars for 5 additional years of support. This is consistent with our success, the increased interest in the program, and our continuing efforts to attract additional students from other CVMs. The intent of the program is to immerse the professional students as a group and individually into an exciting, science based problem-solving environment which has at its center an identifiable research project.
