DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is submitted by the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) to request funding to train additional veterinarians in laboratory animal medicine and translational research. UIC has an existing training program that graduates one laboratory animal veterinarian per year. This proposal will increase the number of trainees admitted to the program, resulting in an increased number of highly-trained laboratory animal veterinarians to support collaborative biomedical research programs. There are two facets of the training program, clinical training and research training. The clinical training portion takes place at the institution's core animal facility, the Biologic Resources Laboratory, which houses the majority of animals used on campus. The animal care and use program is large and complex, encompassing over 131,000 sq. ft. of space and housing over 91,000 animals, including a daily census of approximately 300 nonhuman primates. The translational research training component occurs at UIC's Institute for Personalized Respiratory Medicine, a large research program staffed by over 40 scientists, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and research technicians with almost 20 years experience training future scientists. The described program has the breadth and scope in both clinical veterinary medicine and translational research to provide an intensive and extensive level of training and increase the number of veterinarians available to support biomedical research.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请由伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校（UIC）提交，要求提供资金，以培训实验室动物医学和转化研究方面的其他兽医。UIC有一个现有的培训计划，每年毕业一名实验室动物兽医。该提案将增加该计划的受训人数，从而增加训练有素的实验室动物兽医的数量，以支持合作生物医学研究计划。培训计划有两个方面，临床培训和研究培训。临床培训部分在该机构的核心动物设施生物资源实验室进行，该实验室拥有校园内使用的大多数动物。动物护理和使用计划庞大而复杂，占地超过131，000平方米。英尺超过91，000只动物的空间和住房，包括每天约300只非人类灵长类动物的普查。转化研究培训部分发生在UIC的个性化呼吸医学研究所，这是一个大型研究项目，拥有40多名科学家，博士后研究员，研究生和研究技术人员，拥有近20年的培训未来科学家的经验。所描述的计划在临床兽医学和转化研究方面具有广度和范围，以提供密集和广泛的培训水平，并增加可用于支持生物医学研究的兽医数量。
