Summer Research Training in Infectious Diseases

该计划的长期目标是确定和促进兽医专业学生的职业发展 他们有能力和动力成为传染病领域的独立研究科学家。这个 该计划的目标是：(1)为未来兽医的夏季培训计划提供支持 这将使他们接触到以假设为导向的传染病生物医学研究领域； 扩大兽医学生在生物医学研究方面的培训机会，以向他们介绍 研究领域的科学职业机会，包括但不限于微生物学、免疫学、 寄生虫学、流行病学和病理学；(3)让兽医学生了解 负责任的研究行为。该计划将在内部进行广告宣传，并向其他 兽医学院。申请者的挑选将通过对他们的学业成绩的审查来完成。 他们以前的经历，以及对求职信和推荐信的评估。十名学生将 被选中，其中两人来自伊利诺伊州以外的大学。学员的研究范围将从基础研究到基础研究。 病原菌生物学及寄主-病原菌相互作用机制的研究 诊断方法和预防措施。学生们将被要求参加第一周的课程 入门课程主题：如：基本实验设计、数据收集和组织 数据分析，提案撰写，生物伦理学，生物安全，以及动物和人类在研究中的应用。实习生将是 与一位具有相同研究兴趣的教职员工相匹配。每个学生都将被要求 完成背景读物，制定可检验的假设，设计实验，准备简短的 提出建议，进行研究，并分析和报告结果。为期一天的研究会议将是 在为期十周的计划结束时召开。每个学生将被要求提供一张海报 )并撰写其工作的最后报告。

The long-term goal of the program is to identify and facilitate the career progression of veterinary students who have the ability and motivation to become independent research scientists in infectious diseases. The objectives of this program are: (1) to provide support for a summer training program for future veterinarians that will expose them to the area of hypothesis-driven biomedical research in infectious diseases; (2) to expand the training opportunities for veterinary students in biomedical research in order to introduce them to scientific career opportunities in research areas including, but not limited to, microbiology, immunology, parasitology, epidemiology, and pathology; (3) to expose veterinary students to the principles underlying the responsible conduct of research. The program will be advertised internally and announced to other veterinary colleges. Selection of the applicants will be done through an examination of their academic record, their previous experience, and evaluation of the letters of application and recommendation. Ten students will be selected, two of them from Colleges outside Illinois. The trainees research will range from basic studies on the biology of pathogens and the mechanisms of host-pathogen interactions, to the development of diagnostic methods and prevention measures. The students would be expected to attend a first week introductory course on topics: such as: basic experimental design, collection and organization of data, basic data analysis, proposal writing, bioethics, biosafety, and animal and human use in research. Trainees will be matched with a faculty member with compatible research interest. Each students will be expected to complete the background readings, formulate a testable hypothesis, design the experiments, prepare a brief proposal, conduct the study, and analyze and report the results. A one-day research meeting will be convened at the conclusion of the ten-week program. Each student will be required to give a poster )resentation and write a final report of their work.
