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项新医学科学家培训计划申请需要资金 支持 DVM-PhD 双学位项目，拥有 15 年转化临床医生-科学家培训的历史。这 该项目目前每年从大约 40 名申请者中招收两名学生，并且录取率达到 100% 保留率。十九名学员已毕业； 79% 受雇于各种学术、机构和 非营利性研究职位。自首届以来已有五名学生获得NIH F30双学位培训奖 2015 年 DVM-PhD 学生是符合资格的申请者。在过去七年中，13 名新招募的学生中有 5 名 (38%) 学员来自代表性不足的少数族裔背景，所有学员中大约 75% 是女性。学员 研究项目横跨兽医和生物医学学院的各个领域， 已支持超过四个示范性博士前和博士后兽医研究培训项目 几十年来，自 2004 年以来已为该计划提供了近 240 万美元的直接支持。四十位参与导师 教员（21 名男性，19 名女性），代表不同的职业阶段和专业知识，并拥有 172 项活跃的研究 奖项总额超过 2200 万美元（每位导师平均 56.8 万美元）。这些导师已经或正在培训 112 博士前和博士后145名。博士生期间共发表论文403篇 过去 10 年，完成培训的人中有 90% 继续从事研究职业。 MSTP学生 在此应用程序的支持下参加严格的生物医学研究培训计划（3-4年） 与 DVM 教学和临床培训相结合（4 年）。学生参加“转化医学” 双学位特定课程，提供沟通、领导力、资助和手稿方面的专家指导 写作、团队/跨学科科学，重要的是，鼓励社区意识和目标 实习生。该应用程序的新增功能是数据再现性和管理、指导培训方面的指导 由科罗拉多州立大学包容性指导中心的参与导师提供，促进职业发展 最后 DVM 临床年期间的培训，以及由以下机构提供的稳健的计划评估和结果评估 CSU STEM 中心的高级评估员。具有 MSTP 经验的外部顾问委员会 项目已汇集起来，为指导项目的成功和发展提供专家指导。超过 五年奖励期，我们请求资金支持总共 22 个实习年期，并在第一年分配 和两次 DVM 培训。这笔资金将利用机构资金来扩大该计划，招募 4 名 在奖励期结束时增加更多受训人员，从而最大限度地发挥 MSTP T32 在实现 国家对转化生物医学科学家的需求。
