DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Veterinarians are uniquely qualified in conducting biomedical research in the field of comparative medicine using animal models. Unfortunately, the majority do not pursue research careers, in part due to the lack of research training opportunities. Consequently, there is a critical shortage of veterinarians with research backgrounds in academic institutions across the nation. The proposed Animal Model Research for Veterinarians (AMRV) program at the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine (VMRCVM) will train veterinarians in the skills of a researcher, and encourage them to pursue a research career. By taking advantage of the research strengths of faculty mentors at VA Tech, the AMRV program will train veterinarians in research areas including animal models of infectious disease, immunology, mol. biology, physiology, toxicology, and nutrition. With the support of the American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges, we will recruit from all 28 veterinary medical colleges in the nation including Tuskegee Univ. and VMRCVM, which ranked 1st and 2nd, respectively, in the percentage of enrolled underrepresented minority students. One veterinarian will be recruited to the program each year for a total of 4 for the entire 5-year program. Trainees will have the option of entering either an M.S. or Ph.D. program in Veterinary Medical Science (VMS) at VMRCVM. Mentors will be selected on the basis of their commitments to student training, their cutting-edge research programs, and their ability to secure NIH and other major funding. Mentors will be assigned to applicants by an Advisory & Selection Committee based on mutual interests of trainees and mentors. Opportunities for trainees to work at the Edward via Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine (VCOM) will increase opportunities for studying animal models of human diseases. In addition to providing trainees with state-of-the-art research skills and independent problem-solving ability, trainees will be required to enter a M.S. or Ph.D. program which includes a requirement for completion of a course in the responsible conduct of research, as well as attending seminars and professional meetings. A unique feature will be a visit to NIH, USDA, and other agencies in Washington, DC to understand the research career opportunities for veterinarians. At the end of the training program, trainees are expected to launch an independent biomedical research career.

描述（由申请人提供）：兽医在使用动物模型进行比较医学领域的生物医学研究方面具有独特的资格。不幸的是，大多数人不追求研究事业，部分原因是缺乏研究培训机会。因此，全国学术机构中具有研究背景的兽医严重短缺。拟议中的兽医动物模型研究（AMRV）计划在马里兰州兽医学院（VMRCVM）将培训兽医的研究人员的技能，并鼓励他们追求研究事业。通过利用VA Tech教师导师的研究优势，AMRV计划将在传染病，免疫学，摩尔动物模型等研究领域培训兽医。生物学、生理学、毒理学和营养学。在美国兽医学院协会的支持下，我们将从全国所有28所兽医学院招募学生，包括塔斯基吉大学和VMRCVM，这两所大学在少数民族学生入学比例方面分别排名第一和第二。每年将招募一名兽医参加该计划，整个5年计划共招募4名兽医。学员可以选择进入MS。或博士兽医医学科学（VMS）在VMRCVM。导师将根据他们对学生培训的承诺，他们的尖端研究计划以及他们获得NIH和其他主要资金的能力来选择。导师将由顾问及遴选委员会根据学员及导师的共同兴趣分配给申请人。学员在爱德华弗吉尼亚大学骨科医学院（VCOM）工作的机会将增加研究人类疾病动物模型的机会。除了为学员提供最先进的研究技能和独立解决问题的能力，学员将被要求进入一个M.S.或博士该计划包括完成负责进行研究的课程，以及参加研讨会和专业会议的要求。一个独特的特点将是访问美国国立卫生研究院，美国农业部，和其他机构在华盛顿，哥伦比亚特区，以了解兽医的研究职业机会。在培训计划结束时，学员将开始独立的生物医学研究生涯。
