DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Veterinarians are well-suited for comparative and biomedical research due to their knowledge in basic physiology applied to multiple animal species and their clinical training. Veterinary specialists in biomedical and comparative research are essential for successful research at all levels and locations and a shortage of veterinarians with the background and training for biomedical research has been documented in reports by the National Academy of Sciences and is predicted to increase. The College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) at Iowa State University (ISU) has a stellar history of educating veterinarians many of whom have entered careers in biomedical research. The CVM at ISU has a cooperative educational agreement with the University of Nebraska at Lincoln (UNL) whereby UNL School of Veterinary medicine educates an additional 25 students per year for two years of the veterinary curriculum. Today, ISU CVM has one of the largest class sizes among U. S. Veterinary Schools and Colleges which makes an excellent pool of student trainees for recruitment into the summer scholar program. The CVM enrolls over 140 graduate students. ISU CVM research funding has increased to $17 million in 2011 with faculty members, including veterinarians who receive NIH grants. Nearby ISU is the USDA/ARS-National Animal Disease Center which is the largest animal research facility in the world with veterinarians dedicated to animal research. ISU CVM began a summer scholar training program for veterinary medical students in1991 and received T35 support in 2001 with renewal in 2008. The T35 has supported 75 trainees during this time. The broader summer scholar program at ISU CVM (supported by Merial, LTD, Iowa Healthy Livestock Advisory Committee, Morris Animal Foundation) has consistently supported 20-25 trainees for 20 years. Many of these enter biomedical research fields. The objective of the T35-supported scholar training and the overall Veterinary Medical Summer Scholars Research Program (SSRP) at Iowa State University is to expose first and second year veterinary medical students to biomedical research by direct laboratory experience and through participation in allied activities including seminars, workshops, journal clubs and presentations. The overall goal of the SSRP is to increase the number of scientifically-trained veterinarians that are successful as biomedical scientists. The objectives and goals are met through a 13 week summer program that includes fruitful laboratory experiences with highly engaged and qualified, NIH-mentors that includes veterinarians in superb facilities; lectures and seminars on animal care, ethics, conflicts, inter-student and mentor interactions, scientific writing; and deep engagement with veterinarians as mentors in biomedical research.

描述（由申请人提供）：兽医非常适合进行比较和生物医学研究，因为他们拥有应用于多种动物物种的基础生理学知识及其临床培训。生物医学和比较研究方面的兽医专家对于各个级别和地点的成功研究至关重要，美国国家科学院的报告已记录了具有生物医学研究背景和培训的兽医的短缺情况，并且预计这种情况还会增加。爱荷华州立大学 (ISU) 兽医学院 (CVM) 在培养兽医方面拥有辉煌的历史，其中许多人已进入生物医学研究领域。 ISU 的 CVM 与内布拉斯加大学林肯分校 (UNL) 签订了合作教育协议，根据该协议，UNL 兽医学院每年额外培养 25 名学生，为期两年的兽医课程。如今，ISU CVM 是美国兽医学校和学院中班级规模最大的学校之一，这为招募暑期学者项目提供了优秀的学员库。 CVM 招收 140 多名研究生。 2011 年，ISU CVM 的研究经费已增加至 1700 万美元，其中包括接受 NIH 资助的兽医在内的教员。附近的 ISU 是美国农业部/ARS 国家动物疾病中心，该中心是世界上最大的动物研究机构，拥有致力于动物研究的兽医。 ISU CVM 于 1991 年开始为兽医学生提供暑期学者培训计划，并于 2001 年获得 T35 支持，并于 2008 年续签。在此期间，T35 已为 75 名学员提供支持。 ISU CVM 更广泛的暑期学者计划（由 Merial, LTD、爱荷华州健康牲畜咨询委员会、莫里斯动物基金会支持）20 年来一直为 20-25 名学员提供支持。其中许多进入生物医学研究领域。爱荷华州立大学 T35 支持的学者培训和整个兽医医学暑期学者研究计划 (SSRP) 的目标是通过直接实验室经验以及参加研讨会、讲习班、期刊俱乐部和演讲等联合活动，让一年级和二年级兽医学生接触生物医学研究。 SSRP 的总体目标是增加经过科学培训、成为成功的生物医学科学家的兽医的数量。这些目的和目标是通过为期 13 周的夏季计划来实现的，该计划包括富有成效的实验室经验，以及高度参与和合格的 NIH 导师，其中包括在一流设施中的兽医；关于动物护理、伦理、冲突、学生间和导师之间的互动、科学写作的讲座和研讨会；并与兽医深入接触作为生物医学研究的导师。
