Research Training in Experimental Medicine and Pathology

描述（由申请人提供）：实验医学和病理学研究培训计划旨在为兽医在生物医学研究方面的独立职业做好准备。所有受训者（n = 6人/年）将达到博士后水平，并在杜兰大学或路易斯安那州立大学的适当部门担任研究员。该计划的目标是为合格的兽医提供必要的研究培训和经验，使他们能够成功地竞争研究经费，并为他们从事生物医学研究做好准备。这项培训补助金是杜兰大学健康科学学院（包括医学院、公共卫生和热带医学院以及TNPRC）和路易斯安那州立大学医学和兽医学院（LSUSVM）的合资企业，其中TNRPC和LSUSVM发挥主导作用。在此培训资助下进行的研究项目可用于满足杜兰大学或路易斯安那州立大学的博士学位要求。培训将包括比较医学、病理学和微生物发病机制方面的指导，并广泛接触使用动物模型进行基于分子机制的生物医学研究所需的最先进的调查工具。本申请提供的资金将支持指导研究培训，强调使用多学科方法和实验设计，数据解释，口头和书面沟通技巧以及道德研究行为的批判性思维的实验和转化研究。培训方法包括，但不限于，参加杜兰大学和路易斯安那州立大学提供的正式课程，参加研究会议和研讨会，有监督的工作经验，参加至少一个国家和多个地区会议，在既定调查员的监督下完成一个研究项目，提交一份或多份描述工作的手稿供出版。受训者还接受NIH拨款申请的准备指导，并将提交NIH拨款（K01， KO8或R21）。相关性（见说明）：在生物医学研究中接受过独立职业培训的兽医供不应求。这些人是需要的，并在NIH分类研究所的高优先级研究领域发挥关键作用。该计划的广泛目标是帮助满足这一需求，从而帮助加速生物医学研究。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed Research Training Program in Experimental Medicine and Pathology is designed to prepare veterinarians for independent careers in biomedical research. All trainees (n = 6/yr) will be at the postdoctoral level with appointments as Research Fellows in appropriate departments of Tulane University or LSU. The objective of the program is to provide qualified veterinarians with the requisite research training and experience to enable them to successfully compete for research funding and prepare them for careers in biomedical research. This training grant is a joint venture between Tulane University Health Sciences (includes the School of Medicine, School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine and the TNPRC) and LSU Schools of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine (LSUSVM) with the TNRPC and LSUSVM having the lead roles. Research projects performed while supported by this training grant can be used towards fulfilling the requirements of a PhD at either Tulane or LSU. Training will include instruction in aspects of comparative medicine, pathology and microbial pathogenesis and broad exposure to state-of-the-art investigative tools needed for molecular-mechanism- based biomedical research using animal models. Funding provided by this application will support mentored research training emphasizing bench and translational research using multidisciplinary methods and critical thinking in experimental design, data interpretation, oral and written communication skills and ethical conduct of research. Training methods used will include, but not be limited to, attendance of formal courses offered at Tulane and LSU, participation in research conferences and seminars, supervised work experience, attendance of at least one national and multiple regional meetings, completion of a research project under the supervision of an established investigator and submission of one or more manuscripts describing the work for publication. Trainees also receive instruction in preparation of NIH grant applications and will be expected to submit an NIH grant (K01, KO8 or R21). RELEVANCE (See Instructions): Veterinarians appropriately trained for independent careers in biomedical research are in short supply. Such individuals are needed and play critical roles in high-priority research areas of the NIH categorical institutes. This broad goal of this program is to help fulfill that need and thus to help accelerate biomedical research. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): None provided.
