Research Training in Experimental Medicine and Pathology

拟议的实验医学和病理学研究培训计划旨在 为兽医在生物医学研究中的独立职业做准备。所有学员将在博士后 在杜兰大学或路易斯安那州的适当部门担任研究员 州立大学。该计划的目标是为合格的兽医提供必要的 研究培训和经验，使他们能够成功地竞争研究资金，并准备 他们在生物医学研究的职业生涯 这项培训补助金是杜兰大学健康科学中心（包括 医学院，公共卫生和热带医学学院和杜兰国家灵长类动物 研究中心-TNPRC）和路易斯安那州立大学（LSU）医学和兽医学院 医学（LSUSVM），TNRPC和LSUSVM发挥主导作用。研究项目 虽然由该培训补助金支持，但可用于满足博士学位的要求， 杜兰大学或路易斯安那州立大学 培训将包括比较医学、病理学和微生物 发病机制和广泛接触的国家的最先进的调查工具所需的分子机制， 基于生物医学研究的动物模型。此应用程序提供的资金将支持辅导 研究培训，强调使用多学科方法和关键的实验室和转化研究 实验设计思维、数据解释、口头和书面沟通技巧和道德行为 的研究。 所采用的培训方法包括但不限于参加杜兰大学提供的正式课程 和路易斯安那州立大学，参加研究会议和研讨会，监督工作经验，出席 至少召开一次国家会议和多次区域会议，完成一个在国家监督下的研究项目， 一个既定的调查和提交一个或多个手稿描述出版的工作。 受训人员还将接受有关准备NIH资助申请的指导，并将提交一份 NIH资助（K 01、K 08或R21）。

The proposed Research Training Program in Experimental Medicine and Pathology is designed to prepare veterinarians for independent careers in biomedical research. All trainees will be at the postdoctoral level with appointments as Research Fellows in appropriate departments of Tulane University or Louisiana State University. The objective of the program is to provide qualified veterinarians with the requisite research training and experience to enable them to successfully compete for research funding and prepare them for careers in biomedical research This training grant is a joint venture between Tulane University Health Sciences Center (includes the School of Medicine, School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine and the Tulane National Primate Research Center-TNPRC) and Louisiana State University (LSU) Schools of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine (LSUSVM) with the TNRPC and LSUSVM having the lead roles. Research projectsperformed while supported by this training grant can be used towards fulfilling the requirements of a PhD at either Tulane or LSU. Training will include instruction in aspects of comparative medicine, pathology and microbial pathogenesis and broad exposure to state-of-the-art investigative tools needed for molecular-mechanism- based biomedical research using animal models. Funding provided by this application will support mentored research training emphasizing bench and translational research using multidisciplinary methods and critical thinking in experimental design, data interpretation, oral and written communication skills and ethical conduct of research. Training methods used will include but not be limited to attendance of formal courses offered at Tulane and LSU, participation in research conferences and seminars, supervised work experience, attendance of at least one national and multiple regional meetings, completion of a research project under the supervision of an established investigator and submission of one or more manuscripts describing the work for publication. Trainees also receive instruction in preparation of NIH grant applications and will be expected to submit an NIH grant (K01, K08orR21).
