描述(由申请人提供)： 兽医是潜在生物医学研究人员的宝贵但未得到充分利用的来源。让兽医学生接触到有益的研究经历可能会刺激他们追求研究事业。宿灿的DCM为兽医学生提供了出色的神经科学和传染病研究方面的暑期体验。拟议的计划包括：1)广告和招生战略；2)夏季为学生提供负担得起的住房；3)担任兽医研究人员或与兽医合作的导师；4)为学生提供在有经验培训研究人员的生产性和资金充足的实验室工作的机会；5)关于研究相关主题的讲座、实验室和研讨会；6)与不同背景和专业的兽医研究人员举行职业发展会议；7)与其他兽医学生研究人员的互动；以及8)评估计划，以评估该计划在指导学生进入研究职业生涯方面的成功。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Veterinarians are a valuable but underutilized source of potential biomedical researchers. Exposing veterinary students to a rewarding research experience may stimulate them to pursue research careers. The DCM at SU can provide veterinary students with excellent summer experiences in neuroscience and infectious disease research. The proposed program includes: 1) strategies for advertising and recruiting students; 2) affordable housing for students during the summer; 3) preceptors who are veterinary researchers or who collaborate with veterinarians; 4) opportunities for students to work in productive and well-funded laboratories that have experience training researchers; 5) lectures, laboratories, and workshops on research-related topics; 6) sessions on career development with individual veterinary researchers of various backgrounds and specialties; 7) interactions with other veterinary student researchers; and 8) an evaluation plan for assessing the program's success in steering students into research careers.
