DESCRIPTION (Provided by applicant): Veterinary Students are uniquely qualified in comparative medicine, a training that is a resource in animal model research. Yet, a majority of students do not pursue research careers, principally because they lack exposure to biomedical research. The proposed SUMMER VETERINARY STUDENT RESEARCH PROGRAM (SVSRP) at the VA-MD Regional College of Veterinary Medicine (VMRCVM) will train students of veterinary medicine in the skills of a researcher, and encourage them to pursue a research career. VMRCVM has had success with similar summer research programs in the past, training 56 students since 1995, with 15 percent of the alumni. SVSRP will give students experience in areas of research that couple student interests in animal health with research in animal models of infectious disease, immunology & immunopathology, cellular & molecular pathology, molecular biology, and food, nutrition & health. Mentors will be assigned by the Advisory & Selection Committee to applicants based on applicant interests. Students will receive training in the writing of research applications and scientific papers, biostatistics and experimental design, computer-based graphics, reports and presentations, visual display of quantitative information, humane care and use of animal models, and the ethical conduct of research. A unique feature of this program will be a visit with the NIH, USDA, and other agencies in Washington, DC to better understand the research career opportunities of veterinarians, and learn how public policy is influenced by research. After completing orientation and a research application, students will spend nine weeks in the mentor's laboratory doing research. The ethical conduct of research will be stressed with weekly seminars on this subject that will supplement an orientation short course and will include speakers with expertise in scientific integrity, human experimentation, and the Belmont Report. We will recruit from the 28 veterinary medical schools in the nation, and particularly from Tuskegee University with the objective of recruiting under-represented minorities.

描述（由申请人提供）：兽医专业的学生在比较医学方面具有独特的资格，这是一种动物模型研究的资源。然而，大多数学生不追求研究事业，主要是因为他们缺乏接触生物医学研究。拟议中的VA-MD兽医区域学院（VMRCVM）的夏季兽医研究计划（SVSRP）将培训兽医学生的研究人员技能，并鼓励他们从事研究工作。VMRCVM过去在类似的暑期研究项目上取得了成功，自1995年以来培训了56名学生，占校友总数的15%。SVSRP将为学生提供研究领域的经验，将学生对动物健康的兴趣与传染病，免疫学和免疫病理学，细胞和分子病理学，分子生物学以及食品，营养和健康的动物模型的研究结合起来。顾问及遴选委员会将根据申请人的兴趣为申请人指派导师。学生将接受研究应用和科学论文，生物统计学和实验设计，基于计算机的图形，报告和演示文稿，定量信息的可视化显示，人道主义关怀和动物模型的使用，以及研究的道德行为的写作培训。该计划的一个独特之处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，DC更好地了解兽医的研究职业机会，并了解公共政策是如何受到研究的影响。在完成方向和研究应用程序后，学生将花九个星期在导师的实验室做研究。研究的道德行为将通过每周关于这一主题的研讨会来强调，研讨会将补充短期定向课程，并将包括具有科学完整性，人体实验和贝尔蒙特报告专业知识的演讲者。我们将从全国28所兽医学校，特别是塔斯基吉大学招募，目的是招募代表性不足的少数民族。
