DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The National Research Council has documented a dire national need for veterinary specialists trained in biomedical research. Furthermore, veterinary researchers play a key role in multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research activities since they naturally bridge basic and clinical research. To address this training need, faculty members in the College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM), North Carolina State University will establish the Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Training Program (IBRTP) for veterinary students and veterinarians. Trainees will complete a 3-month research experience in the laboratories of two faculty members drawn from seven different disciplines. The 33 faculty members that have committed to participating in this program have a strong training track record. The seven disciplines chosen are areas of strength at North Carolina State University; Clinical Sciences, Cellular and Molecular Biology, Genetics and Genomics, Engineering and Textiles, Statistics and Epidemiology, Biological Chemistry, and Pharmacology, Toxicology, and Nanotechnology. Research projects will emphasize the melding of two disciplines to create a novel approach to a biomedical research problem. Projects combining clinical and basic science disciplines will be given priority. It is envisioned that trainees will bridge research disciplines and serve as a nidus for new faculty members collaborations. Trainees will be veterinary students (pre-doctoral) or graduate veterinarians (postdoctoral). Trainees will be expected to have prior biomedical research experience. The training program will start in Summer 2009 with funds for 2 slots committed by North Carolina State University CVM. Four additional trainee slots are requested in this application for Year 1. The number of trainee slots will grow to a total of 9 in year 3, 6 requested in this application and 2 supported by the CVM. Program requirements include: (1) a weekly seminar series on topics related to research ethics and scientific and professional development; (2) a weekly journal club discussing interdisciplinary research papers; and (3) participation in an annual CVM research symposium. These requirements are in addition to those associated with a student's particular research training experience. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): This novel training program will build upon the strong commitment and track record of the NC State CVM to train veterinarians in research.

描述（由申请人提供）：国家研究委员会记录了国家对受过生物医学研究培训的兽医专家的迫切需求。此外，兽医研究人员在多学科和跨学科研究活动中发挥着关键作用，因为他们自然地连接基础研究和临床研究。为了满足这一培训需求，北卡罗来纳州立大学兽医学院（CVM）的教职员工将为兽医学生和兽医建立跨学科生物医学研究培训计划（IBRTP）。受训者将在来自七个不同学科的两位教员的实验室完成为期三个月的研究经验。33名致力于参与该项目的教师都有良好的培训记录。所选的七个学科是北卡罗莱纳州立大学的优势领域；临床科学、细胞与分子生物学、遗传学与基因组学、工程与纺织、统计学与流行病学、生物化学、药理学、毒理学和纳米技术。研究项目将强调两个学科的融合，以创造一种新的方法来解决生物医学研究问题。临床与基础学科相结合的项目优先考虑。预计受训者将在研究学科之间架起桥梁，并成为新教员合作的中心。培训对象为兽医专业学生（博士预科）或兽医研究生（博士后）。受训者应具有生物医学研究经验。该培训项目将于2009年夏季开始，由北卡罗莱纳州立大学CVM提供2个名额。本申请要求在第一年增加四个培训生名额。培训生名额将在第三年增加到总共9个，本申请要求的6个，以及CVM支持的2个。项目要求包括：(1)每周举办一次与研究伦理、科学和专业发展相关的系列研讨会；(2)每周期刊俱乐部讨论跨学科研究论文；(3)参加CVM年度研究研讨会。这些要求是除了与学生的特定研究培训经验相关的要求之外的。
