DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed Program will help address the shortage of veterinarians who are trained for independent research. It will support veterinarians during the first three years of their PhD training. It will draw applicants by advertising in part with methods that have been successful in attracting students from veterinary schools from across the country to participate in our T35 Summer Research Fellowship Program. Veterinarians will apply through Stanford University's flexible admissions process and choose a home program in the biological sciences from one of the twelve that are already established. We expect most students to join one of three large, interdepartmental programs: Cancer Biology, Immunology, and Neurosciences. We will accept one trainee per year. Trainees will enroll in the curriculum of their established home program and choose a PhD advisor from one of the 19 faculty in the proposed Comparative Medicine Program. The faculty of the proposed program reside in ten departments within the Medical School, and all share a commitment to the discipline of Comparative Medicine. Trainees will have both a research mentor (basic scientist) and a comparative medicine mentor (veterinarian). Trainees will be required to participate in regular meetings, seminars, journal clubs, and research symposia in the Department of Comparative Medicine, which will serve as the "glue" that maintains and develops their veterinary professional identity as they immerse themselves in basic science research. Research facilities in the Department of Comparative Medicine include the Veterinary Service Center, Diagnostic Laboratory, Histology Laboratory, and Microscopy/Morphology Core. The research opportunities and facilities at Stanford University are substantial and will help trainees succeed in their quest to become independent researchers.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的项目将有助于解决经过独立研究培训的兽医短缺问题。它将在兽医博士培训的前三年为他们提供支持。它将通过广告来吸引申请者，部分方法是成功地吸引了来自全国各地的兽医学校的学生参加我们的T35夏季研究奖学金计划。兽医将通过斯坦福大学灵活的招生程序申请，并从已经建立的12个生物科学专业中选择一个家庭专业。我们希望大多数学生加入三个大型跨部门项目之一：癌症生物学、免疫学和神经科学。我们每年将招收一名实习生。学员将参加他们已建立的家庭项目的课程，并从拟议的比较医学项目的19名教员中选择一位博士导师。拟建项目的教员分布在医学院的十个院系，他们都致力于比较医学的研究。受训者将有一名研究导师（基础科学家）和一名比较医学导师（兽医）。实习生将被要求参加比较医学系的定期会议、研讨会、期刊俱乐部和研究专题讨论会，这将成为他们在投入基础科学研究的同时保持和发展兽医专业身份的“粘合剂”。比较医学系的研究设施包括兽医服务中心、诊断实验室、组织学实验室和显微镜/形态学核心。斯坦福大学的研究机会和设施是丰富的，将帮助学员成功地成为独立的研究人员。
