DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The aim of this proposal is the establishment of an interdisciplinary postdoctoral training program in comparative pathobiology under the umbrella of the existing graduate program in the Department of Comparative Pathobiology. The overall goal of the program is to prepare veterinarians for careers in biomedical research. Specifically, this training program is aimed at veterinarians who have completed residency training in pathology, laboratory animal medicine or a clinical specialty. The 14 primary faculty associated with the proposed training program work with animal models of infectious diseases, cancer and inflammation. They are affiliated with 5 different departments, and represent a variety of disciplines, including molecular biology, chemistry, immunology, microbiology, and virology. The students in the program will be recruited from residency programs at Purdue University and other institutions across the US. Specific efforts will be made to recruit students from ethnic/racial minority populations. The training in the proposal program consists of core and elective courses in subject areas, seminars, courses and workshops in research ethics, and completion of a research project under the guidance of one of the primary faculty associated with the program. The students will receive a Ph.D. degree upon successful completion of the program. The proposal requests funding for 2 post-doctoral fellowships per year for the duration of the grant. Each fellowship is for three years, after which the student will be paid by the mentor and/or department until completion of the Ph.D. requirements. The outcome of the training program is board-certified veterinarians with a Ph.D. in biomedical research. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): Veterinarians can play an important role in biomedical research and public health as principal investigators or collaborators on multidisciplinary research teams. However, there is a shortage of veterinarians with solid training in biomedical research. This proposal will train highly qualified and motivated veterinarians with advanced specialty training in a clinical or diagnostic discipline.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案的目的是在比较病理生物学系现有研究生课程的保护伞下建立比较病理生物学跨学科博士后培训计划。该计划的总体目标是准备兽医在生物医学研究的职业生涯。具体而言，该培训计划针对的是已经完成病理学，实验动物医学或临床专业住院医师培训的兽医。与拟议的培训计划相关的14个主要教师与传染病，癌症和炎症的动物模型一起工作。他们隶属于5个不同的部门，并代表各种学科，包括分子生物学，化学，免疫学，微生物学和病毒学。该项目的学生将从普渡大学和美国其他机构的住院医生项目中招募。将作出具体努力，从少数民族/种族人口中招收学生。在提案计划的培训包括核心和选修课程的主题领域，研讨会，课程和研讨会在研究伦理，并完成一个研究项目的指导下与该计划相关的主要教师之一。学生将获得博士学位。成功完成课程后的学位。该提案要求在赠款期间每年提供两个博士后研究金。每个奖学金为期三年，之后学生将由导师和/或部门支付，直到完成博士学位。要求.培训计划的成果是董事会认证的兽医与博士学位。在生物医学研究中。 公共卫生相关性（由申请人提供）：兽医可以在生物医学研究和公共卫生中发挥重要作用，作为多学科研究团队的主要研究者或合作者。然而，缺乏在生物医学研究方面受过扎实培训的兽医。该提案将培养高素质和积极性的兽医，并在临床或诊断学科中进行高级专业培训。
