DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A critical shortage of veterinary-trained biomedical researchers has been identified by multiple committees of the National Academies of Science. Our proposal of the Summer Research Training Program for Veterinary Medical Students, referred to as the "Summer Research Scholars Program," seeks to address this problem through an experiential learning opportunity. We expect that hands-on research experience that occurs early in the curriculum will expand veterinary students' awareness of careers in biomedical research. A key to this development will be matching highly qualified veterinary students with selected, NIH funded, biomedical researcher faculty members. The students will experience research-intensive environments, exposure to successful research role models and a quality seminar series addressing significant issues in biomedical and comparative medical research. These topics include ethical issues in research, animal use and care, experimental and statistical design, and appropriate interpretation of data. Small group journal clubs will address critical review of articles and reinforce topics from lectures. The students will also take field trips to learn about cutting edge technologies utilized in research and to experience first hand the role that veterinarians play in biomedical research, laboratory animal medicine and public health. At the conclusion of the program, students will participate in the "Summer Research Scholars Day" a formal poster session in which students present their findings to researchers and fellow students from all of the participating laboratories. We are requesting support for 5 students per year. Students for this program will be selected from first and second year classes in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Iowa State University and from other colleges /schools of veterinary medicine across the United States. Additionally, we will place emphasis on recruiting veterinary students of under-represented groups. The impact of the program in encouraging veterinary medical students will be assessed each year and four years after graduation to determine the extent to which it has influenced graduates to pursue careers in biomedical research. The College is committed to the success of this program and is providing up to $25,000 per year of support. The high caliber of veterinary medical students, the outstanding faculty mentors, and a supportive research environment with a well-established summer research training program make Iowa State University an ideal place to provide training in biomedical sciences for future veterinarians.

描述(由申请人提供)：经过兽医训练的生物医学研究人员的严重短缺已被美国国家科学院的多个委员会确定。我们提出的针对兽医学生的暑期研究培训计划，被称为“暑期研究学者计划”，旨在通过体验式学习机会解决这一问题。我们希望课程早期的实践研究经验将扩大兽医学生对生物医学研究职业的认识。这一发展的关键将是将高素质的兽医学生与精选的、由NIH资助的生物医学研究人员进行匹配。学生们将体验研究密集的环境，接触到成功的研究榜样，以及一系列高质量的研讨会，讨论生物医学和比较医学研究中的重要问题。这些主题包括研究中的伦理问题，动物的使用和护理，实验和统计设计，以及对数据的适当解释。小组期刊俱乐部将处理对文章的批判性评论，并加强讲座中的主题。学生们还将进行实地考察，了解研究中使用的尖端技术，并亲身体验兽医在生物医学研究、实验动物医学和公共卫生中所发挥的作用。在项目结束时，学生们将参加“夏季研究学者日”，这是一个正式的海报会议，学生们在会上向来自所有参与实验室的研究人员和同学展示他们的发现。 我们要求每年资助5名学生。该项目的学生将从爱荷华州立大学兽医学院的一年级和二年级班级以及美国各地的其他兽医学院/学院中挑选。此外，我们将重点招收代表不足的群体的兽医学生。 该计划在鼓励兽医学生方面的影响将在毕业后每年和四年进行评估，以确定它对毕业生从事生物医学研究事业的影响程度。学院致力于这一项目的成功，并每年提供高达25,000美元的支持。 高素质的兽医学生，优秀的教师导师，以及支持性的研究环境和完善的夏季研究培训计划，使爱荷华州立大学成为为未来的兽医提供生物医学科学培训的理想场所。
