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对接受过实验动物医学专业培训的兽医的需求，以支持生物医学、行为和临床研究。实验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他们成为生物医学研究界的重要成员。他们的作用范围可以从兽医护理到动物资源管理，再到诊断，再到动物研究的监管监督。此外，他们是合作研究团队的宝贵成员。密苏里州大学将建立一个新的计划，实验室动物医学计划（LAMP），培训兽医在实验室动物医学。LAMP的目标是培养兽医能够胜任和精通临床，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空白。同样重要的是，参与者将精通如何建立和促进合作研究的机会，包括动物模型的开发和维护，以支持转化研究活动。扫盲评估和监测计划的培训将通过以下方式完成：a）课程工作和研讨会，广泛接触实验室动物医学和生物医学研究支持，B）18个月的临床和管理实验室动物医学，诊断实验室动物医学，动物群体管理和灵长类药物，以及c）18个月的时间，在此期间，额外的人手-实验室动物医学活动将与当代实验室动物医学问题的研究项目相结合。该计划将由经验丰富的教师指导，其中包括美国实验动物医学学院（ACLAM）的九名成员，并利用密苏里州大学强大的机构支持和现有的实验动物医学和基于动物模型的研究基础设施。后者包括管理常见实验室动物物种的动物资源，包括啮齿动物，猪和斑马鱼; NIH资助的小鼠，大鼠和猪资源中心;世界第二大啮齿动物诊断实验室和一个区域生物遏制实验室，该实验室拥有针对动物模型开发的赠款。此外，密苏里州大学在实验动物医学和比较医学研究培训方面享有盛誉，这将为LAMP带来出色的招聘潜力。培训将最终与科学硕士学位，一个或多个手稿和资格坐在ACLAM董事会。在完成培训计划后，学员将获得必要的技能，成为成功的实验室动物兽医，在他们的领域和生物医学研究的宝贵贡献者的领导者。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、行为学和临床研究对实验动物兽医的迫切需求。密苏里州大学将通过建立一个新的计划，实验室动物医学计划（LAMP），以满足这一需求，培训兽医在实验室动物医学和合作研究。在完成培训计划后，学员将有资格获得美国实验动物医学学院的董事会认证，并具备成为成功的实验动物兽医，其领域的领导者和生物医学研究的宝贵贡献者所需的技能。
