Biomedical Research Training for Veterinarians

描述(由申请人提供)：我们提出了一个综合计划，为兽医提供基于分子机制的生物医学研究方面的研究培训计划，并提供比较医学、病理学、微生物学、肿瘤学或其他DVM后专业培训的住院医生培训。培训计划将包括：(A)由赞助机构资助的住院医师专业培训的初始阶段，随后，(B)由NCRR T32机制资助的指导式研究培训，提供集中的指导式研究培训，重点是采用现代多学科方法的初级实验台研究，并在实验设计、数据解释、科学写作、沟通技能和研究的伦理行为方面具有批判性思维。在其他机构完成实习经验的应聘者将立即进入研究培训阶段。该计划的主要内容包括：将CSU资助的住院医师培训与NCRR赞助的研究培训相结合。强调当代研究培训，使候选人具备成为主要研究人员的能力。美国国立卫生研究院资助的主要研究人员的导师，在研究生培训方面有丰富的经验。在兽医研究培训方面有丰富经验的项目主管。一个由T32计划主管组成的外部咨询委员会，他们带来了有效的DVM后培训和成功的NCRR培训计划的第一手知识。 我们相信，该计划与当代的NCRR和DCM目标保持一致，使学员能够 成为成功的NIH资助的研究人员和合作者，并代表着一项有效的投资，以产生目前供应不足和受过独特培训的研究人员，以促进国家健康和 生物安全优先事项。

DESCRIPTION (Provided by applicant): We propose an integrated program to provide research training program in molecular-mechanism-based biomedical research to veterinarians with residency training in comparative medicine, pathology, microbiology, oncology, or other post-DVM specialty training. The training program will comprise: (a) an initial phase of residency specialty training funded by the sponsoring institution, followed by, (b) mentored research training funded by the NCRR T32 mechanism providing concentrated mentored research training emphasizing primary bench research employing modern multidisciplinary methodologies and featuring critical thinking in experimental design, data interpretation, scientific writing, communication skills, and ethical conduct of research. Candidates having completed residency experience at another institution will enter the research training phase immediately. Key elements of the program are: Integration of CSU-funded residency training with NCRR-sponsored research training. Emphasis on contemporary research training to equip candidates to become principal investigators. A mentor faculty of NIH-funded principal investigators with substantial experience in graduate training. A Program Director with extensive experience in research training of veterinarians. An External Advisory Committee comprised of T32 Program Directors who bring first-hand knowledge of effective post-DVM training and successful NCRR training programs. We believe the program is aligned with contemporary NCRR and DCM objectives, equips trainees to become successful NIH-funded investigators and collaborators, and represents an effective investment to generate currently undersupplied and uniquely-trained investigators to advance national health and biosecurity priorities.
