Project Summary/Abstract The aim of the Georgia Veterinary Scholars Research Program (GVSP) at the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine (UGA-CVM) is to immerse academically talented veterinary students from across the US in cutting edge research inspiring them toward careers in biomedical research, and fostering in them a deeper understanding of the myriad roles, and vital need, for veterinarians in research. Critical to this aim is the GVSP's commitment to broad, inclusive recruitment of students and careful pairing with strong, cross-disciplinary mentors who are not only capable of providing a thorough exposure to the principles underlying the conduct of research, but who also provide a scientific environment that instills a sense of community. A specific effort is necessary to recruit biomedical scientists with broad medical training, such as our veterinary graduates, as partners in the nation's biomedical research endeavors. Veterinarians are well equipped to provide a critically needed comparative organismal biology approach to the frontiers of biomedical research, including animal cloning, transgenics, development of medical devices, and translational medicine. Veterinarians are also ideally trained to recognize spontaneous animal models of human disease and are key players in the disciplines of public health, emerging infectious diseases and food safety. Nevertheless, veterinary students are often not aware of the wealth of career opportunities in research and in many cases do not recognize the role of veterinarians in these exciting areas. Clearly for the promises of “One Health” and translational medicine to be realized in healthier people and animals, we will need more veterinarians engaged in research. The renewal of our training grant will help us accomplish the important aim of showcasing the excitement and wonder of research careers to future veterinarians with the intent to prompt them to choose research as their career. During the 12- week summer program seven pre-doctoral veterinary student trainees (35 total trainees for the five year project period) are welcomed into the discipline and camaraderie of the scientific community and challenged to think creatively. Fundamental skills are conveyed through seminars on topics including ethics, responsible conduct of research, scientific rigor, animal welfare, and communication skills. Relaxed journal club discussions, team building exercises and site visits to local research organizations contribute to a sense of community and excitement about future research possibilities. The central experience is full time hypothesis-driven research with a mentor of the student's choosing, culminating in written and oral presentations at the university and national levels. The PI is the Director of GVSP and 36 mentors spanning 12 departments in 6 colleges and schools within UGA support the program. An advisory and a mentoring committee further support the progress of the program and the enhancement of the mentor and trainee experiences. The GVSP is designed to capture the imagination of future veterinarians at a formative time to inspire them to develop into independent investigators.

项目概要/摘要 佐治亚大学学院佐治亚兽医学者研究计划（GVSP）的目标 兽医学 (UGA-CVM) 旨在让来自美国各地学术才华横溢的兽医学生沉浸在 前沿研究激励他们从事生物医学研究职业，并培养他们更深入的研究 了解兽医在研究中的各种角色和重要需求。实现这一目标的关键是 GVSP 致力于广泛、包容性地招收学生，并与强大的跨学科导师仔细配对 他们不仅能够全面了解研究行为的基本原则， 但他们也提供了一个灌输社区意识的科学环境。需要具体的努力 招募受过广泛医学训练的生物医学科学家，例如我们的兽医毕业生，作为合作伙伴 国家生物医学研究工作。兽医装备精良，可以提供急需的 生物医学研究前沿的比较有机生物学方法，包括动物克隆， 转基因、医疗设备开发和转化医学。兽医也接受过理想的培训 识别人类疾病的自发动物模型，并且是公共学科的关键参与者 健康、新发传染病和食品安全。然而，兽医学生往往不知道 研究领域有丰富的职业机会，并且在许多情况下没有认识到兽医在研究中的作用 这些令人兴奋的领域。显然，为了实现“同一个健康”和转化医学的承诺 为了使人和动物更健康，我们将需要更多的兽医从事研究。我们的更新 培训补助金将帮助我们实现展示研究的兴奋和奇迹的重要目标 向未来的兽医介绍职业，旨在促使他们选择研究作为自己的职业。 12-期间 周暑期项目 七名博士前兽医学生学员（五年项目总共 35 名学员） 期间）受到科学界的纪律和友情的欢迎，并受到思考的挑战 创造性地。通过研讨会传授基本技能，主题包括道德、负责任的行为 研究、科学严谨性、动物福利和沟通技巧。轻松的日记俱乐部讨论、团队 建设练习和对当地研究组织的实地考察有助于增强社区意识和 对未来研究可能性的兴奋。核心经验是全职假设驱动的研究 学生选择的导师，最终在大学和国家进行书面和口头演讲 水平。 PI是GVSP的主任和跨越6个学院和学校的12个部门的36名导师 佐治亚大学支持该计划。咨询和指导委员会进一步支持该计划的进展 以及增强导师和学员的体验。 GVSP 旨在捕捉 未来兽医在成长时期的想象力，激励他们发展成为独立的兽医 调查人员。
