项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We are requesting support for an innovative, new program to educate the next generation of research veterinarians in whole animal-based biomedical sciences and hypothesis-driven research. The Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine (PU-SVM) has long recognized the importance of interfacing the education of its graduates in veterinary medicine with hypothesis-driven basic biomedical research. To this end the PU-SVM has implemented this interfacing of professional and basic biomedical research education. Since 1991, 85 veterinary students have participated in summer research programs in PU-SVM. Seventeen percent of these veterinary graduates are in careers linking directly veterinary medicine and biomedical sciences, or are now pursuing advanced graduate degrees. The long-term goal of the PU-SVM, with support from NIH, is to expand the scope of the existing program, enabling qualified veterinary students to complete both their professional DVM degree and a degree(s) in basic biomedical sciences, with a primary focus in either cancer or neuroscience research. We propose to develop a dual degree DVM/Masters program by: a) targeting recruitment of third year veterinary students for one-year formal training program in biomedical research, b) enabling these students to concurrently complete their DVM degree and graduate Master's degree in Basic Medical Sciences. This proposed dual DVM/MS degree program builds upon the flexibility of the tracked fourth-year curriculum in our school. The positive outcomes of this integrated professional and graduate education will be the next generation of veterinary scientists, who will be able to participate in clinically relevant investigations, employing emerging basic science knowledge, and/or in basic biomedical investigations, employing a clinical perspective and designed to improve the health of both animals and humans. In addition to implementing the Integrated Veterinary - Biomedical Research Training (IVBMRT) program, we will continue to provide opportunity for veterinary students, who have completed the first or second years of the DVM curriculum and want an animal-based, hypothesis-driven biomedical research experience without entering a graduate degree program. Participating faculty mentors in the proposed IVBMRT program include faculty from the PU-SVM, the Schools of Pharmacy and Science and Liberal Arts, thus linking the medical perspective of the SVM with the fundamental biomedical perspectives and expertise also present at Purdue University. Importantly, these Purdue faculty mentors together represent a diversity of ethnic groups and national origins, varied cultural backgrounds, many of the major research universities of the US and abroad, as well as minorities and women. This mentor diversity will facilitate recruitment and retention of students from minority and underrepresented groups while enriching the research education and training of all participating students.

描述(由申请人提供)：我们正在请求支持一项创新的新计划，以教育下一代研究兽医，了解基于动物的生物医学科学和假说驱动的研究。普渡大学兽医学院(PU-SVM)长期以来一直认识到将其兽医毕业生的教育与假设驱动的基础生物医学研究相结合的重要性。为此，PU-支持向量机实现了专业生物医学研究教育与基础生物医学研究教育的衔接。自1991年以来，已有85名兽医学生参加了PU-SVM的暑期研究项目。这些兽医毕业生中有17%的人从事与兽医和生物医学科学直接相关的职业，或正在攻读高级研究生学位。在美国国立卫生研究院的支持下，PU-支持向量机的长期目标是扩大现有项目的范围，使合格的兽医学生能够完成他们的专业DVM学位和基础生物医学科学学位(S)，重点是癌症或神经科学研究。我们建议通过以下方式发展双学位DVM/硕士课程：a)定向招收三年级兽医学生参加为期一年的生物医学研究正式培训课程；b)使这些学生能够同时完成他们的DVM学位和基础医学硕士研究生学位。这项拟议的双DVM/MS学位课程建立在我校跟踪的四年制课程的灵活性基础上。这种专业和研究生教育相结合的积极成果将是下一代兽医科学家，他们将能够参与临床相关的研究，运用新兴的基础科学知识，和/或基础生物医学调查，采用临床视角，旨在改善动物和人类的健康。除了实施综合兽医-生物医学研究培训(IVBMRT)计划外，我们还将继续为已完成DVM课程第一年或第二年并希望在不进入研究生学位计划的情况下获得基于动物的、假设驱动的生物医学研究经验的兽医学生提供机会。参与IVBMRT计划的教师导师包括来自PU-支持向量机、药学与科学学院和文科学院的教师，从而将支持向量机的医学观点与普渡大学也存在的基本生物医学观点和专业知识联系起来。重要的是，这些普渡大学的教师导师代表了不同的种族和民族血统、不同的文化背景、许多美国和海外的主要研究型大学，以及少数族裔和女性。这种导师多样性将有助于从少数群体和代表性不足的群体中招募和留住学生，同时丰富所有参与学生的研究、教育和培训。
