ABSTRACT Veterinarian-scientists provide critical disciplinary and technical expertise for advancing biomedical research. Due to their broad understanding of animal anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and disease, they possess key knowledge for cross-species comparative medicine and for experimentally-induced and naturally occurring animal models of human diseases. Veterinarian-scientists also provide contributions to human welfare through critical roles in One Health initiatives, including in global food security and in emerging and zoonotic diseases. Of importance is that approximately 75% of recently emerging infectious diseases affecting humans are diseases of animal origin. However, the US National Research Council, an NIH Physician-Scientist Workforce Working Group Report, and the NIH Office of Research Infrastructure Programs have all emphasized that the veterinarian-scientist workforce is far underrepresented and underutilized in biomedical research. Reasons for this include limited access by veterinary students to biomedical research programs and appropriate training. The objective of our “Veterinary Summer Scholars in Comparative Medicine” T35 training program is to provide direct biomedical research experiences to first and second-year veterinary students to increase the numbers of researchers in the veterinary-scientist pipeline. Our approach will consist of 1) providing opportunities to conduct biomedical research in an environment of collaboration and discovery provided by mentors who are basic and clinical-scientists, and 2) providing research training in the form of lectures and discussions focused on responsible conduct and ethics in research, experimental design and quality assurance, research communication, and career pathways in the biomedical sciences. New innovations described in this renewal application include increased opportunities for continued research experiences during veterinary school, as well as interprofessional interactions by our veterinary students with other health professionals to promote team-science. The proposed T35 training program involves a critical mass of faculty mentors from our comprehensive Academic Health Center at the University of Minnesota for providing multidisciplinary and state-of-the-art research experiences.

摘要 兽医科学家为推进生物医学研究提供关键的学科和技术专长。 由于他们对动物解剖学，生理学，药理学和疾病的广泛理解，他们拥有 跨物种比较医学和实验诱导和自然发生的关键知识 人类疾病的动物模型。兽医科学家还通过以下方式为人类福利做出贡献： 在“一个健康”倡议中发挥关键作用，包括在全球粮食安全和新出现的人畜共患疾病方面。 重要的是，最近出现的影响人类的传染病中约有75%是 动物源性疾病。然而，美国国家研究理事会，一个国家卫生研究院的医生科学家工作组， 工作组报告和NIH研究基础设施项目办公室都强调， 兽医科学家队伍在生物医学研究中的代表性和利用率都远远不足。原因 这包括兽医学生参加生物医学研究方案和适当培训的机会有限。 我们的“比较医学兽医夏季学者”T35培训计划的目标是提供 直接生物医学研究经验，以第一和第二年的兽医学生，以增加数量 兽医科学家管道中的研究人员。我们的方法将包括：1）提供机会， 在由导师提供的合作和发现环境中进行生物医学研究， 基础和临床科学家，2）以讲座和讨论的形式提供研究培训， 关于研究、实验设计和质量保证中负责任的行为和道德， 沟通和职业道路在生物医学科学。本次更新中描述的新创新 申请包括增加在兽医学校期间继续研究经验的机会，因为 以及我们的兽医学生与其他卫生专业人员的跨专业互动，以促进 团队科学拟议的T35培训计划涉及来自我们的教师导师的临界质量 明尼苏达大学综合学术健康中心，提供多学科和 最先进的研究经验。
