Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Training Program

国家研究委员会记录了全国对经过培训的兽医专家的迫切需求 生物医学研究。此外，兽医研究人员在多学科和 跨学科研究活动，因为它们天然地将基础研究和临床研究联系起来。要解决这个问题 培训需求，北卡罗来纳州立大学兽医学院(CVM)的教员将 为兽医学生建立跨学科生物医学研究培训计划(IBRTP)，并 兽医。学员将在两个学院的实验室完成为期3个月的研究工作。 成员来自七个不同的学科。33名教职员工致力于 参加这个项目有很强的培训记录。所选的七个学科是 北卡罗来纳州立大学临床科学、细胞和分子生物学、遗传学和 基因组学、工程和纺织学、统计学和流行病学、生物化学和药理学， 毒物学和纳米技术。研究项目将强调两个学科的融合，以创造 一种解决生物医学研究问题的新方法。临床与基础科学相结合的项目 学科将被优先考虑。据设想，受训人员将在研究学科之间架起桥梁，并担任 新的教职员工合作的空白。受训者将是兽医学生(博士前)或毕业生 兽医(博士后)。受训人员将被要求具有生物医学研究经验。这个 培训计划将于2009年夏季开始，资金将用于北卡罗来纳州承诺的2个名额 大学云服务器。本申请表要求提供四个额外的第一年实习生名额。 第三年学员名额将增加到9个，本申请申请6个，云服务器支持2个。 课程要求包括：(1)每周举办一次与研究伦理相关的专题系列研讨会； 科学和专业发展；(2)讨论跨学科研究的周刊俱乐部 论文；以及(3)参加一年一度的CVM研究研讨会。这些要求是对 那些与学生特定的研究训练经验有关的课程。 相关性(请参阅说明)： 这一新颖的培训计划将建立在NC State CVM坚定的承诺和跟踪记录的基础上，以 培训兽医进行研究。

The National Research Council has documented a dire national need for veterinary specialists trained in biomedical research. Furthermore, veterinary researchers play a key role in multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research activities since they naturally bridge basic and clinical research. To address this training need, faculty in the College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM), North Carolina State University will establish the Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Training Program (IBRTP) for veterinary students and veterinarians. Trainees will complete a 3-month research experience in the laboratories of two faculty members drawn from seven different disciplines. The 33 faculty members that have committed to participating in this program have a strong training track record. The seven disciplines chosen are areas of strength at North Carolina State University; Clinical Sciences, Cellular and Molecular Biology, Genetics and Genomics, Engineering and Textiles, Statistics and Epidemiology, Biological Chemistry, and Pharmacology, Toxicology, and Nanotechnology. Research projects will emphasize the melding of two disciplines to create a novel approach to a biomedical research problem. Projects combining clinical and basic science disciplines will be given priority. It is envisioned that trainees will bridge research disciplines and serve as a nidus for new faculty collaborations. Trainees will be veterinary students (predoctoral) or graduate veterinarians (postdoctoral). Trainees will be expected to have prior biomedical research experience. The training program will start in Summer 2009 with funds for 2 slots committed by North Carolina State University CVM. Four additional trainee slots are requested in this application for Year 1. The number of trainee slots will grow to a total of 9 in year 3, 6 requested in this application and 2 supported by the CVM. Program requirements include: (1) a weekly seminar series on topics related to research ethics and scientific and professional development; (2) a weekly journal club discussing interdisciplinary research papers; and (3) participation in an annual CVM research symposium. These requirements are in addition to those associated with a student's particular research training experience. RELEVANCE (See instructions): This novel training program will build upon the strong commitment and track record of the NC State CVM to train veterinarians in research.
