DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The faculty and administration at the Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine (KSU-CVM) are dedicated to training veterinary students in comparative biomedical research. We believe that the future of the veterinary profession depends on our ability to provide the veterinary students who exhibit research potential with accelerated, integrated and subsidized research training opportunities. To this end, the Basic Research Immersion Training Experience (BRITE) veterinary student program is designed as an intensive research oriented experience directed towards attracting talented professional students into biomedical research careers. Through mentored research experiences, the BRITE program exposes trainees to the methodologies associated with hypothesis formation, experimental design, data acquisition and analysis and reporting of research results. In addition, BRITE students receive formal training in the responsible conduct of research. Most importantly, the BRITE program provides veterinary students interested in research careers with a flexible, integrated opportunity to either earn a Masters degree or "jump-start" a combined DVM/PhD program. The BRITE program faculty is comprised of established, productive senior investigators and well-trained motivated mid-career and junior faculty. These scientists have active laboratories, a strong history of collaboration, and wide-ranging scientific and technical expertise. The pool of potential mentors includes faculty members with primary academic appointments in 7 departments/units at Kansas State University, and research emphasizing three areas: comparative medicine; epithelial health and disease; and the host-pathogen-environment interface. BRITE students are able to investigate problems relevant to human health at the molecular, cellular, organismal and systems levels. BRITE alumni are expected to pursue career paths that combine veterinary medicine with comparative biomedical research. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): There is a critical national need for veterinarians engaged in biomedical research to promote the public health. The proposed training program will encourage veterinary students to pursue this career path.

描述(由申请人提供)：堪萨斯州立大学兽医学院(KSU-CVM)的教职员工和管理人员致力于培训兽医学生进行比较生物医学研究。我们相信，兽医行业的未来取决于我们是否有能力为具有研究潜力的兽医学生提供加速、综合和补贴的研究培训机会。为此，基础研究沉浸式培训体验(BRITE)兽医学生项目旨在吸引有才华的专业学生进入生物医学研究职业生涯，作为一种密集的研究导向体验。通过有指导的研究经验，BRITE项目使学员接触到与假设形成、实验设计、数据获取以及研究结果的分析和报告相关的方法。此外，BRITE学生还接受负责任的研究行为方面的正式培训。最重要的是，BRITE项目为对研究职业感兴趣的兽医学生提供了一个灵活、综合的机会，既可以获得硕士学位，也可以“启动”DVM/PhD相结合的项目。BRITE项目教员由经验丰富、富有成效的高级研究人员和训练有素、积极进取的职业中期和初级教员组成。这些科学家拥有活跃的实验室，强大的合作历史，以及广泛的科学和技术专长。潜在的导师包括在堪萨斯州立大学7个系/单位担任主要学术职务的教职员工，以及侧重于三个领域的研究：比较医学；上皮健康和疾病；以及宿主-病原体-环境界面。布赖特学院的学生能够在分子、细胞、组织和系统水平上研究与人类健康相关的问题。预计英国校友将走上将兽医与比较生物医学研究相结合的职业道路。 公共卫生相关性(由申请者提供)：国家迫切需要从事生物医学研究的兽医来促进公共健康。拟议的培训计划将鼓励兽医学生走上这条职业道路。
