DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Comparative Medicine and Pathology training program was initiated in the fall of 2003 and provides state-of-the-art research training to veterinarians. Five years of continuing support are requested in the present application, including three years of support for five trainees in each year of the program. It is anticipated that the majority of these individuals will have completed a residency in medicine, surgery, or pathology prior to entering the training program. Selection criteria will include 1) academic credentials and performance during clinical training/residency; 2) strong interest in research and a desire for a career in academic veterinary medicine; and 3) desirable personal characteristics, including integrity, perseverance, and communications skills. The training program is located in the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Minnesota and is directed by Dr. Cathy Carlson and co-director Dr. David Brown. Thirty-two faculty mentors, all members of the Comparative and Molecular Biosciences (CMB) graduate program, will participate in the training program, and they represent a diverse group of disciplines, including pharmacology, cell biology, infectious disease, neurobiology, physiology, genetics, molecular biology, and orthopedics. Trainees without a PhD degree will pursue a PhD in the CMB graduate program, a well-organized, multidisciplinary graduate program that was created to focus graduate education efforts by faculty interested in comparative biomedical sciences and the molecular mechanisms responsible for human and animal health and disease. The goal of the CMB graduate program is to provide students with the broad-based knowledge, quality communication skills, and advanced research training essential for a career as an independent investigator. PUBLICH HEALTH RELEVANCE STATEMENT (provided by applicant): This program is highly relevant to public health, as it addresses the ongoing serious shortage of veterinarians with the research expertise necessary to pursue a career as independent investigators in biomedical research. These individuals are critical to the effective translation of biomedical research discoveries made in animal models to new methods of diagnosis and treatment of disease in humans.

描述（由申请人提供）：比较医学和病理学培训计划于2003年秋季启动，为兽医提供最先进的研究培训。本申请要求提供五年的持续支持，包括在方案的每一年为五名受训人员提供三年的支持。预计这些人中的大多数将在进入培训计划之前完成医学，外科或病理学的住院医师。选择标准将包括1）临床培训/住院期间的学术证书和表现; 2）对研究的浓厚兴趣和对学术兽医职业的渴望;以及3）理想的个人特征，包括诚信，毅力和沟通技巧。 该培训项目位于明尼苏达大学兽医学院，由Cathy Carlson博士和联合主任大卫布朗博士指导。32名教师导师，比较和分子生物科学（CMB）研究生课程的所有成员，将参加培训计划，他们代表了不同的学科，包括药理学，细胞生物学，传染病，神经生物学，生理学，遗传学，分子生物学和骨科。没有博士学位的学员将在CMB研究生课程中攻读博士学位，这是一个组织良好的多学科研究生课程，旨在通过对比较生物医学科学和负责人类和动物健康和疾病的分子机制感兴趣的教师集中研究生教育工作。CMB研究生课程的目标是为学生提供基础广泛的知识，高质量的沟通技巧和高级研究培训，这对于独立调查员的职业生涯至关重要。 公共卫生相关性声明（由申请人提供）：该计划与公共卫生高度相关，因为它解决了兽医持续严重短缺的问题，这些兽医具有从事生物医学研究独立研究者职业所需的研究专业知识。这些人对于将动物模型中的生物医学研究发现有效转化为人类疾病诊断和治疗的新方法至关重要。
