DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): 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 comparative and translational research activities since they naturally bridge basic and clinical research. To address this training need, faculty in the Center for Comparative Medicine and Translational Research (CCMTR) at the College of Veterinary Medicine, North Carolina State University established the Comparative Medicine and Translational Research Training Program (CMTRTP). This training program specifically targets individuals with the DVM degree who have completed specialty training. Trainees complete requirements leading to the PhD degree in laboratories of well-funded faculty that have a strong track training record and diverse research expertise. Research projects emphasize comparative and translational themes fostered by the CCMTR and trainees participate in multidisciplinary research efforts. Trainees bridge research programs and serve as a nidus for new faculty collaborations. The training program was initiated in Fall 2007 with funds for 2 slots committed by North Carolina State University. Funding from an NIH T32 in 2008 enabled the program to grow to a total of 8 training slots. To date, we have recruited 12 outstanding trainees who by all accounts, are talented clinician scientists when the complete the program. For this renewal application, six trainee slots are requested in Year 1 of the next grant period to restore the NIH funded slots to the original level and 2 will be supported from NC State resources. We propose to grow the program to a total of 9 training slots by adding 1 additional NIH slot in Year 2. Program requirements include: (1) a capstone course on comparative medicine and translational research; (2) a professional development courses and workshops; (3) a seminar series on translational research; (4) a course in research ethics; (5) a pilot grant program that will culminate in submission of a K award proposal; and (6) an annual research symposium. These requirements are in addition to those associated with a student's graduate program. This novel training program will build upon the strong commitment and track record of the NC State CVM to train veterinary specialists in research.

描述(由申请者提供)：国家研究委员会记录了国家对受过生物医学研究培训的兽医专家的迫切需求。此外，兽医研究人员在比较和翻译研究活动中发挥着关键作用，因为他们天生就是基础研究和临床研究的桥梁。为了满足这一培训需求，北卡罗来纳州立大学兽医学院比较医学和转化研究中心(CCMTR)的教职员工建立了比较医学和转化研究培训计划(CMTRTP)。该培训计划专门针对已完成专业培训的具有DVM学位的个人。受训者完成博士学位的要求后，在资金充足、拥有良好培训记录和多样化研究专业知识的实验室获得博士学位。研究项目强调CCMTR培养的比较和翻译主题，受训人员参与多学科研究工作。实习生是研究项目的桥梁，也是新教员合作的中坚力量。该培训计划于2007年秋季启动，资金用于北卡罗来纳州立大学承诺的2个名额。2008年，来自NIH T32的资金使该计划发展到总共8个培训名额。到目前为止，我们已经招募了12名优秀的实习生，他们都是完成计划后有才华的临床医生科学家。对于这次续签申请，在下一个赠款期间的第一年将申请6个受训人员名额，以将国家卫生研究院资助的名额恢复到原来的水平，2个将由NC State资源提供支助。我们建议通过在第二年增加1个NIH名额，将该计划增加到9个培训名额。计划要求包括：(1)比较医学和转化研究的顶峰课程；(2)专业发展课程和研讨会；(3)转化研究系列研讨会；(4)研究伦理课程；(5)以提交K奖提案为最终结果的试点资助计划；以及(6)年度研究研讨会。这些要求是对学生研究生课程相关要求的补充。这一新颖的培训计划将建立在北卡罗来纳州CVM在培训研究方面的兽医专家方面的坚定承诺和往绩的基础上。
