This new Medical Scientist Training Program application from Colorado State University requests funds to support a DVM-PhD dual-degree program with a 15-year history of translational clinician-scientist training. The program currently recruits two students per year from a pool of approximately 40 applicants and has had a 100% retention rate. Nineteen trainees have graduated; 79% are employed in a variety of academic, agency, and nonprofit research positions. Five students have received NIH F30 dual-degree training awards since the first year DVM-PhD students were eligible applicants in 2015. Over the last seven years, 5 of 13 recruits (38%) have been from under-represented minority backgrounds and approximately 75% of all trainees are women. Trainee research projects span diverse fields across the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, which has supported exemplary pre- and post-doctoral veterinary research training programs for more than four decades, and has provided nearly $2.4M in direct support for this program since 2004. Forty participating mentor faculty (21 male, 19 female), represent a variety of career stages and expertise, and hold 172 active research awards totaling over $22M (average $568K/mentor). These mentors have trained, or are training, 112 predoctoral and 145 postdoctoral trainees. Pre-doctoral trainees have published 403 total publications during the last 10 years and 90% of those completing training have continued in research careers. MSTP students supported by this application participate in a rigorous program of biomedical research training (3-4 years) integrated with DVM didactic and clinical training (4 years). Students participate in ‘Translational Medicine’, a dual-degree specific course that delivers expert instruction in communication, leadership, grant and manuscript writing, team/interdisciplinary science, and importantly, encourages a sense of community and purpose for trainees. New to this application is instruction in data reproducibility and management, mentorship training provided by participating mentors in the CSU Center for Inclusive Mentorship, enhanced career development training during final DVM clinical years, and robust program evaluation and outcomes assessments provided by a senior evaluator from the CSU STEM center. An External Advisory Committee with experience in MSTP programs has been assembled to provide expert guidance in directing programmatic success and growth. Over the five-year award period we request funds to support a total of 22 trainee years to be distributed in years one and two of DVM training. This funding will leverage institutional funds to expand the program by enrolling 4 additional trainees by the end of the award period, thereby maximizing the impact this MSTP T32 in fulfilling the national need for translational biomedical scientists.

科罗拉多州立大学的这份新的医学科学家培训计划申请申请资金 支持具有15年临床医生-科学家转化式培训历史的DVM-PhD双学位项目。这个 该计划目前每年从大约40名申请者中招募两名学生，并已100% 保留率。19名实习生已经毕业；79%的人在各种学术、中介和 非营利性研究职位。自第一届以来，已有五名学生获得了NIH F30双学位培训奖 2015年DVM-博士生是合格的申请者。在过去的七年中，13名新兵中有5名(38%) 他们来自代表性不足的少数族裔背景，所有受训人员中约75%是妇女。实习生 研究项目横跨兽医和生物医学学院的不同领域， 支持了四个以上模范的博士后和博士后兽医研究培训项目 自2004年以来，已为该项目提供了近240万美元的直接支持。40位参与导师 教员(21名男性，19名女性)，代表不同的职业阶段和专业知识，开展172项积极的研究 奖金总额超过2200万美元(平均每名导师56.8万美元)。这些导师已经培训或正在培训112名 博士后和博士后实习生145人。博士后实习生共出版出版物403本 在过去的10年里，完成培训的90%的人继续从事研究工作。MSTP学生 在此申请的支持下，参加严格的生物医学研究培训计划(3-4年) 结合DVM教学和临床培训(4年)。学生参加“转化医学”，一个 提供沟通、领导力、助学金和手稿方面的专家指导的双学位特定课程 写作，团队/跨学科的科学，重要的是，鼓励社区意识和目标 实习生。该应用程序新增了数据可重复性和管理、指导培训等方面的指导 由CSU包容性导师中心的参与导师提供，增强了职业发展 在DVM临床期的最后几年进行培训，并由 CSU STEM中心的一名高级评估员。一个具有MSTP经验的外部咨询委员会 已经汇编了各种方案，以提供指导方案成功和发展的专家指导。完毕 五年奖励期我们申请资金支持，总共22个实习生年限在第一年分配 和两个DVM培训。这笔资金将利用机构资金通过招募4人来扩大该计划 在授权期结束前增加受训人员，从而最大限度地发挥本MSTP T32在履行 国家需要转化型生物医学科学家。
