Comparative Medicine and Translational Research Training Program

CMTRTP摘要 国家研究委员会记录了全国对兽医的迫切需求 受过生物医学研究培训的专家。此外，兽医研究人员发挥着关键作用 在比较和翻译研究活动中的作用，因为它们自然地连接基本的 和临床研究。为了满足这一培训需求，我们请求美国国立卫生研究院继续提供资金 每年7名研究员，为期3年。北卡罗来纳州立大学将提供最多2 每年有研究员和2个T32之前的职位。受训人员将成为 比较医学和翻译研究培训计划由 兽医学院(CVM)教员与比较医学 北卡罗来纳州立大学(CMI)。本培训计划专门针对 已完成专业培训并具有DVM学位的个人 为学员准备竞争早期职业发展奖和快速职业发展奖 作为首席研究人员或其他研究密集型人员过渡到独立 职业生涯。学员完成相关要求，获得比较类博士学位 生物医学科学(CBS)的7个集中领域之一：1)免疫学2)细胞 生物学，3)药理学，4)神经科学，5)传染病，6)人口 医学和病理学。培训教师是资金雄厚的多产科学家 有很强的培训记录和多样化的研究专长。培训人员是 哥伦比亚广播公司研究生课程和CMI的所有成员，并代表来自 2所学院。研究项目强调培养比较和翻译主题 CVM和CMI在组织工程、药理学和生理学、遗传学和 基因组学，以及新出现的传染病。计划要求包括：(1)a 凯普斯顿比较医学与翻译研究研讨会课程；(2) 专业发展课程和讲习班；(3)研究道德课程；(4)a 资助写作课程和试点资助计划，提供获得K奖项的途径；以及 (5)年度研究座谈会。这些要求是对相关要求的补充 在研究生课程上。已有16名学员完成了培训。13名持有教职员工 在学术界，一个是研究病理学家，两个是其他的研究员 机构。7名研究员获得了NIH或其他职业发展补助金，15名获得了 校外研究资助并发表了67篇论文(48篇第一作者)，源于他们的 在训练中进行研究。

CMTRTP Abstract The National Research Council has documented a dire national need for veterinary specialists trained in biomedical research. Furthermore, veterinary researchers play a key role in comparative and translational research activities since they naturally bridge basic and clinical research. To address this training need, we request continued NIH funding for 7 fellows per year for 3 years. NC State University will provide funding for up to 2 fellows per year and 2 pre-T32 positions. Trainees will be degree-seeking fellows in the Comparative Medicine and Translational Research training program established by the faculty in the College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) and the Comparative Medicine Institute (CMI) at North Carolina State University. This training program specifically targets individuals with the DVM degree who have completed specialty training and is designed to prepare trainees to compete for an early career development award and a rapid transition to independence as a principal investigator or in another research-intensive career. Trainees complete requirements leading to the PhD degree in Comparative Biomedical Sciences (CBS) in one of 7 areas of concentration: 1) Immunology 2) Cell Biology, 3) Pharmacology, 4) Neurosciences, 5) Infectious Diseases, 6) Population Medicine, and 7) Pathology. Training faculty are well-funded productive scientists that have a strong training track-record and diverse research expertise. Training faculty are all members of the CBS graduate program and the CMI and represent 4 departments from 2 Colleges. Research projects emphasize comparative and translational themes fostered by the CVM and CMI in tissue engineering, pharmacology and physiology, genetics and genomics, and emerging infectious diseases. Program requirements include: (1) a capstone comparative medicine and translational research seminar course; (2) professional development courses and workshops; (3) a course in research ethics; (4) a grant writing course and a pilot grant program that provide a pathway to a K award; and (5) annual research symposia. These requirements are in addition to those associated with the graduate program. Sixteen fellows have completed training. Thirteen hold faculty positions in academia, one is a research pathologist, and two are research fellows at other institutions. Fellows were awarded 7 NIH or other career development grants and 15 extramural research grants and published 67 papers (48 first author) arising from their research while in training.
