BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH TRAINING FOR VETERINARIANS

描述（由申请人提供）：一个综合方案，提供 受过比较医学专业培训的兽医， 病理学或微生物学与研究培训计划合并， 建议使用动物模型进行基于分子机制的生物医学研究。 提供的培训环境将强调：（a）初期阶段， 住院医师专业委员会资助的面向培训 （B）第二阶段， NCRR T32机制和提供集中指导研究 培训强调利用现代多学科的初级实验室研究 方法和具有批判性思维的实验设计，解释 数据、科学写作、沟通技巧和 research. 该计划的关键要素是：1）整合CSU资助的 比较医学、病理学或微生物学的住院医师培训， NCRR赞助的研究培训，2）强调当代研究 培训，使候选人成为主要调查员，3）导师 NIH资助的主要研究人员，在以下方面具有丰富的经验： 研究生培训，4）具有丰富研究经验的项目总监 兽医培训，以及5）外部咨询委员会，包括 T32项目主管，他们带来了有效的后D.V.M. 培训和成功的NCRR培训计划。 据信，该方案与当代NCRR的目标是一致的， 将使受训者成为成功的NIH资助的研究人员， 合作者，并代表一个有效的投资，以产生独特的- 培训研究人员，以推进国家卫生研究的优先事项。

DESCRIPTION (Provided by applicant): An integrated program to provide veterinarians with board specialty-oriented training in comparative medicine, pathology, or microbiology merged with a research training program in molecular-mechanism-based biomedical research using animal models is proposed. The training environment provided will emphasize: (a) an initial phase of residency specialty board preparation oriented training funded by the sponsoring institution, merging seamlessly into (b) a second phase funded by the NCRR T32 mechanism and providing of concentrated mentored research training emphasizing primary bench research using modern multidisciplinary methods and featuring critical thinking in experimental design, interpretation of data, scientific writing, communication skills, and ethical conduct of research. Key elements of the program are: 1) integration of CSU-funded residency training in comparative medicine, pathology, or microbiology with NCRR-sponsored research training, 2) emphasis on contemporary research training to equip candidates to become principal investigators, 3) a mentor faculty of NIH-funded principal investigators with substantial experience in graduate training, 4) a Program Director with extensive experience in research training of veterinarians, and 5) an External Advisory Committee comprised of T32 Program Directors who bring first-hand knowledge of effective post-D.V.M. training and successful NCRR training programs. It is believed that the program is aligned with contemporary NCRR objectives, will equip trainees to become successful NIH-funded investigators and collaborators, and represents an effective investment to generate uniquely- trained investigators to advance national health research priorities.
