DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): As determined by several studies there is a critical national need for veterinarians in the biomedical research community. The long term objective of this NRSA Short-Term Institutional Research Training Grant, Biomedical Research Experience for Veterinary Students (BREVS), continues to be the attraction of veterinarians to careers in biomedical research. There are two short term specific aims. First, the program will provide veterinary students with an opportunity to conduct a short term independent research project in an environment of discovery provided by an active laboratory and mentor. The program spans the natural life of a research project. It is designed to afford the student the opportunity to help plan the studies to be conducted, conduct a literature review, develop a research proposal, conduct the experiments, and present the data as it evolves and when the project is completed. While these projects are designed to be completed during the summer, local students have the opportunity to continue their work during elective blocks during the second, third and fourth years of the veterinary curriculum. Secondly, the program will provide students with significant, non-laboratory research relevant experiences in the form of lectures, discussions, field trips, and team building exercises. Topics for lectures and discussions will include experimental design and data analysis, research communication, literature searching and evaluation, the use of animals in research, ethics, animal welfare, and the responsible conduct of research. Specific lectures by local experts on gene therapy, transgenic animals, and stem cells will continue to be organized. Field trips will expose the scholars to the research environments of a primate center, medical research institute, medical school campus, and biomedical research companies in a technology center. Together these events will begin to provide the scholars with an understanding the diversity and depth of research opportunities available to them when they graduate. With the renewal of this grant, the BREVS program will continue with 8 NIH scholars for 5 additional years of support. This is consistent with our success, the increased interest in the program, and our continuing efforts to attract additional students from other CVMs. The intent of the program is to immerse the professional students as a group and individually into an exciting, science based problem solving environment which has at its center an identifiable research project.

描述（由申请人提供）：根据多项研究确定，国家对生物医学研究领域的兽医存在迫切需求。 NRSA 短期机构研究培训补助金“兽医学生生物医学研究经验”(BREVS) 的长期目标是继续吸引兽医从事生物医学研究职业。有两个短期具体目标。首先，该计划将为兽医学生提供在活跃的实验室和导师提供的发现环境中进行短期独立研究项目的机会。该计划涵盖了研究项目的自然生命周期。它旨在为学生提供帮助规划要进行的研究、进行文献综述、制定研究计划、进行实验以及在项目进展和项目完成时呈现数据的机会。虽然这些项目设计为在夏季完成，但当地学生有机会在兽医课程第二年、第三年和第四年的选修课期间继续他们的工作。其次，该项目将以讲座、讨论、实地考察和团队建设练习的形式为学生提供重要的、非实验室研究相关的经验。讲座和讨论的主题将包括实验设计和数据分析、研究交流、文献检索和评估、研究中动物的使用、伦理、动物福利以及负责任的研究行为。还将继续组织当地专家关于基因治疗、转基因动物、干细胞等方面的专题讲座。实地考察将使学者们接触灵长类动物中心、医学研究所、医学院校园和技术中心的生物医学研究公司的研究环境。这些活动将开始让学者们了解他们毕业后可以获得的研究机会的多样性和深度。随着这笔资助的续签，BREVS 计划将继续为 8 名 NIH 学者提供额外 5 年的支持。这与我们的成功、对该项目日益增长的兴趣以及我们为吸引来自其他 CVM 的更多学生所做的持续努力是一致的。该项目的目的是让专业学生作为一个整体和个人沉浸在一个令人兴奋的、基于科学的问题解决环境中，该环境的中心是一个可识别的研究项目。
