项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Several recent reports have documented the need for veterinarians that have received specialty training in Laboratory Animal Medicine to support biomedical, behavioral and clinical research. The Laboratory Animal Veterinarian's knowledge about the use, biology, care and diseases of several species of animals used in research make them critical members of the biomedical research community. Their roles can range from a veterinary care to animal resource management to diagnostics to regulatory oversight of animal research. Moreover, they are invaluable members of collaborative research teams. The University of Missouri will establish a new program, the Laboratory Animal Medicine Program (LAMP), to train veterinarians in Laboratory Animal Medicine. The objectives of the LAMP are to prepare veterinarians to be competent and proficient in clinical, administrative and diagnostic laboratory animal medicine in support of biomedical investigations and to fill the critical void of these individuals in biomedical research. Equally important, participants will be well-versed in how to establish and foster collaborative research opportunities that include the development and maintenance of animal models in support of translational research activities. Training in the LAMP will be accomplished through: a) course work and seminars that give a broad exposure to laboratory animal medicine and biomedical research support, b) 18 months of mentored hands-on rotations in clinical and administrative laboratory animal medicine, diagnostic laboratory animal medicine, animal colony management and primate medicine and c) an 18 month period where additional hands-on laboratory animal medicine activities will be coupled with a research project on a contemporary laboratory animal medicine problem. The program will be guided by an experienced faculty that includes nine diplomates of the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine (ACLAM) and take advantage of strong institutional support and existing laboratory animal medicine and animal model-based research infrastructure at the University of Missouri. The latter includes animal resources that manage common laboratory animal species including rodents, swine and zebrafish; NIH funded mouse, rat and swine resource centers; the world's second largest rodent diagnostic laboratory and a regional biocontainment laboratory that has grants targeting animal model development. Moreover, the University of Missouri has an excellent reputation in laboratory animal medicine and comparative medicine research training which will result in outstanding recruiting potential for the LAMP. Training will culminate with a Master of Science degree, one or more manuscripts and eligibility to sit for ACLAM boards. On completion of the training program, trainees will have acquired the necessary skills to become successful laboratory animal veterinarians, leaders in their field and invaluable contributors to biomedical research. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): Several recent reports have documented the critical need for Laboratory Animal Veterinarians in biomedical, behavioral and clinical research. The University of Missouri will address this need by establishing a new program, the Laboratory Animal Medicine Program (LAMP), to train veterinarians in Laboratory Animal Medicine and collaborative research. On completion of the training program, trainees will be eligible to pursue board certification by the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine, and have the necessary skills to become successful laboratory animal veterinarians, leaders in their field and invaluable contributors to biomedical research.

描述（由申请人提供）：最近的几份报告记录了接受过实验室动物医学专业培训以支持生物医学，行为和临床研究的兽医的需求。实验室动物兽医对研究中使用的几种动物的使用，生物学，护理和疾病的了解使它们成为生物医学研究界的关键成员。它们的角色可以从兽医护理到动物资源管理到诊断，再到对动物研究的监管监督。此外，他们是协作研究团队的宝贵成员。密苏里大学将建立一个新计划，即实验室动物医学计划（LAMP），以培训实验室动物医学的兽医。灯的目标是准备兽医准备临床，行政和诊断实验室动物医学，以支持生物医学研究，并填补这些人在生物医学研究中的关键缺失。同样重要的是，参与者将在如何建立和促进协作研究机会方面得到充分的精力，包括开发和维护动物模型以支持转化研究活动。灯中的培训将通过：a）课程工作和研讨会，这些课程和研讨会对实验室动物医学和生物医学研究支持，b）18个月进行了指导的临床和行政实验性动物动物医学，诊断性实验室动物医学，动物菌落菌落管理和灵长类药物的动手旋转，以及在18个月中进行实验室动物活动的额外的研究。该计划将以经验丰富的教师为指导，其中包括美国实验室动物医学学院（ACLAM）的九名外交官，并利用密苏里大学的强大机构支持以及现有的实验室动物医学和基于动物模型的研究基础设施。后者包括管理普通实验室动物物种在内的动物资源，包括啮齿动物，猪和斑马鱼； NIH资助的老鼠，大鼠和猪资源中心；世界第二大啮齿动物诊断实验室和具有针对动物模型开发的授予的区域生物培养实验室。此外，密苏里大学在实验室动物医学和比较医学研究培训方面享有很高的声誉，这将导致灯的出色招募潜力。培训将以科学硕士学位，一个或多个手稿和坐在丙障委员会的资格达到顶峰。培训计划完成后，学员将获得必要的技能，以成为成功的实验室动物兽医，其领域的领导者以及生物医学研究的宝贵贡献者。公共卫生相关性（由申请人提供）：最近的几份报告记录了生物医学，行为和临床研究中实验室动物兽医的关键需求。密苏里大学将通过建立一个新计划，即实验室动物医学计划（LAMP）来满足这一需求，以培训实验室动物医学和合作研究的兽医。培训计划完成后，学员将有资格获得美国实验室动物医学学院的董事会认证，并具有成为成功的实验室动物兽医，领导者的领导者以及生物医学研究的宝贵贡献者的必要技能。
