DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The aim of this proposal is the establishment of an interdisciplinary postdoctoral training program in comparative pathobiology under the umbrella of the existing graduate program in the Department of Comparative Pathobiology. The overall goal of the program is to prepare veterinarians for careers in biomedical research. Specifically, this training program is aimed at veterinarians who have completed residency training in pathology, laboratory animal medicine or a clinical specialty. The 14 primary faculty associated with the proposed training program work with animal models of infectious diseases, cancer and inflammation. They are affiliated with 5 different departments, and represent a variety of disciplines, including molecular biology, chemistry, immunology, microbiology, and virology. The students in the program will be recruited from residency programs at Purdue University and other institutions across the US. Specific efforts will be made to recruit students from ethnic/racial minority populations. The training in the proposal program consists of core and elective courses in subject areas, seminars, courses and workshops in research ethics, and completion of a research project under the guidance of one of the primary faculty associated with the program. The students will receive a Ph.D. degree upon successful completion of the program. The proposal requests funding for 2 post-doctoral fellowships per year for the duration of the grant. Each fellowship is for three years, after which the student will be paid by the mentor and/or department until completion of the Ph.D. requirements. The outcome of the training program is board-certified veterinarians with a Ph.D. in biomedical research. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): Veterinarians can play an important role in biomedical research and public health as principal investigators or collaborators on multidisciplinary research teams. However, there is a shortage of veterinarians with solid training in biomedical research. This proposal will train highly qualified and motivated veterinarians with advanced specialty training in a clinical or diagnostic discipline.

描述(由申请人提供)：本建议的目的是在比较病理生物学系现有研究生课程的框架下，建立比较病理学的跨学科博士后培训计划。该计划的总体目标是为兽医在生物医学研究领域的职业生涯做好准备。具体地说，该培训计划针对已完成病理学、实验动物医学或临床专业住院医师培训的兽医。与拟议的培训计划相关的14名初级教员致力于研究传染病、癌症和炎症的动物模型。他们隶属于5个不同的系，代表了不同的学科，包括分子生物学、化学、免疫学、微生物学和病毒学。参加该项目的学生将从普渡大学和全美其他机构的常驻项目中招募。将作出具体努力，招收少数民族学生。该计划的培训包括学科领域的核心课程和选修课、研究伦理研讨会、课程和讲习班，以及在与该计划相关的一名主要教员的指导下完成一个研究项目。学生将在成功完成该项目后获得博士学位。该提案要求在补助金期间每年为2个博士后研究金提供资金。每个奖学金为期三年，之后导师和/或系将向学生支付报酬，直至完成博士学位要求。培训计划的结果是获得董事会认证的兽医，并拥有生物医学研究博士学位。 公共卫生相关性(由申请者提供)：兽医可以作为主要研究人员或多学科研究团队的合作者在生物医学研究和公共卫生中发挥重要作用。然而，缺乏在生物医学研究方面接受过扎实培训的兽医。这项提议将通过临床或诊断学科的高级专业培训来培训高素质和积极进取的兽医。
