SUMMER PROGRAMS FOR VETERINARY STUDENTS (T35)

 描述（由申请人提供）：这是一份卫生专业学校学生短期培训的续签申请。该提案的总体目标是刺激 有才华的兽医学生的研究兴趣，并让他们接触到研究生涯中固有的机会。该计划将为兽医学生提供以下生物医学研究领域的研究培训机会：消化系统疾病，传染病，营养/心血管疾病，生殖生物学/神经科学，呼吸系统疾病，骨科，营养和肥胖，国际/野生动物医学，紧急和重症监护和肿瘤学。该计划是专门设计的，根据过去25年来培训489名兽医学生所获得的经验，向学生介绍积极的生物医学研究环境，并在以下特定领域进行培训：对已发表的数据进行批判性评价，提出假设，准备研究建议，实验设计，研究伦理，分析和组织数据，口头和书面报告结果。拟议的计划将接受每年20名学生，学生将在竞争的基础上选择。所有一年级和二年级兽医学生（目前有192名）将 有资格使用标准格式提交研究提案，并从他/她选择的课程教师那里获得输入。提交的提案将由教师委员会使用预定义的标准进行评估和排名。除了建议的科学价值外，将优先考虑代表性不足的少数民族学生，以及愿意在培训期后继续进行研究的学生。6月、7月和8月期间的培训将在现有实验室进行，这些实验室正在进行项目，并得到适当的资金支持。每个学员都必须参加 参加关于“负责任的研究行为”的俱乐部、研讨会和互动讲习班，提交书面报告，并在年度兽医学生研究日上作口头报告。受训人员将接受调查，以确定该计划在刺激研究兴趣和参与生物医学研究方面的短期和长期影响。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a renewal application for short-term training for students in health professional schools. The overall objective of this proposal is to stimulate research interests in talented veterinary students and to expose them to opportunities inherent in a research career. The program will provide research training opportunities for veterinary students in the following biomedical research areas: digestive diseases, infectious diseases, nutrition/cardiovascular diseases, reproductive biology/neuroscience, respiratory diseases, orthopedics, nutrition and obesity, international/wild life medicine, emergency and critical care and oncology. This program is specifically designed, based on experiences gained from training 489 veterinary students over the last 25 years, to introduce students to active biomedical research environments and to train them in following specific areas: critical evaluation of published data, development of hypothesis, preparation of research proposals, experimental designs, research ethics, analysis and organization of data, and oral and written presentations of results. The proposed program will accept 20 students per year, and the students will be selected on a competitive basis. All first and second year veterinary students (currently 192) will be eligible to submit a research proposal using a standard format with input from a program faculty of his/her choice. The submitted proposals will be evaluated and ranked in order of merit by a faculty committee using predefined criteria. Apart from the scientific merit of the proposal, preference will be given to underrepresented minority students, and students who exhibit willingness to continue to conduct research beyond this training period. Training during the months of June, July and August will take place in established laboratories with ongoing projects supported by appropriate level of funding. Each trainee will be required to attend journal clubs, seminars and interactive workshops on "responsible conduct in Research", submit a written report and make an oral presentation at the annual veterinary student research day. Trainees will be surveys to determine the short-term and the long-term impacts of the program in stimulating research interests and engagement in biomedical research following this short-term training period.
