Cornell University Veterinary Investigator Program

项目总结 兽医，在他们广泛和比较的兽医教育的帮助下，使必要的 对生物医学发现和公共卫生的贡献。然而，在数量上存在一个公认的短缺。 从事生物医学研究的兽医。康奈尔大学兽医研究员计划(VIP) 旨在通过为兽医学生提供全日制研究实验室经验来改善这种情况 在他们第一年或第二年兽医学校毕业后的暑假期间，有10周的时间。该计划 此外，还提供对新兴研究开发和新技术、补充技能的了解 在书面和口头科学交流，和职业指导。兽医调查员计划有五个 主要目标：i)为DVM学生提供严格的、假设驱动的指导性研究体验 和广泛接触研究技术；二)通过培训促进负责任地进行研究 伦理和原则，如严谨和可再现性；三)提高DVM的科学传播技能 学生实习生，包括摘要写作、海报演示和口头演示；iv)让学生接触 前沿生物医学领域和最新突破，通过基于实验室的经验和教师主导的研讨会； 以及v)展示学生如何通过高级技术将研究融入到DVM毕业后的职业生涯中 研究培训和/或通过将研究整合到各种职业道路中，如临床实践、公共 健康，和学术界，等等。兽医调查员项目即将进入第14个年头。NIH T35 过去10年的资金为79名参与者提供了支助，导致出版了同行评议的出版物 以及未来的研究资金，以及对职业生涯的重大影响。康奈尔大学的招生程序 大学兽医学院优先考虑那些对研究感兴趣的人，因此 为兽医调查员计划提供竞争异常激烈的申请库。这个 该方案由44名专门和协作的教员培训员组成，其中包括大约相同数量的 男性和女性，以及代表所有教授级别的教职员工。教员培训人员来自五位学者 兽医学院的院系，并拥有资金充足和富有成效的实验室， 专攻以下领域：癌症、细胞和组织代谢、发育生物学和 生殖；基因组生物学；感染生物学；再生医学和干细胞。通过提供10个 感兴趣的学生每年都有机会利用范围广泛的一流教师和资源 在康奈尔大学，兽医调查员计划努力让早期兽医实习生参与 高影响力的生物医学研究，并激励他们追求包括严格科学研究在内的职业生涯。

PROJECT SUMMARY Veterinarians, aided by their wide-ranging and comparative education in veterinary medicine, make essential contributions to biomedical discovery and public health. Yet, there is a well established shortage in the number of veterinarians engaged in biomedical research. The Cornell University Veterinary Investigator Program (VIP) seeks to improve this situation by providing full-time research laboratory experiences to veterinary students for a 10-week period during the summer after their first or second year of veterinary school. The Program additionally provides exposure to emerging research developments and new techniques, complementary skills in written and oral science communication, and career guidance. The Veterinary Investigator Program has five primary objectives: i) Provide DVM students with rigorous, hypothesis-driven mentored research experiences and broad exposure to research techniques; ii) Promote the responsible conduct of research through training in ethics and principles such as rigor and reproducibility; iii) Advance the science communication skills of DVM student trainees, including abstract writing, poster presentation, and oral presentation; iv) Expose students to cutting-edge biomedical areas and recent breakthroughs via lab-based experiences and faculty-led workshops; and v) Demonstrate how students can incorporate research into their post-DVM careers through advanced research training and/or by integrating research into a variety career pathways such as clinical practice, public health, and academia, among others. The Veterinary Investigator Program is entering its 14th year. NIH T35 funding for the previous 10 years has provided support for 79 participants, leading to peer-reviewed publications and future research funding, as well as significant career impacts. The admissions process at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine gives preference to those who express an interest in research, thereby contributing to an exceptionally competitive application pool for the Veterinary Investigator Program. The Program consists of 44 dedicated and collaborative faculty trainers, including approximately equal numbers of men and women, and faculty representing all Professorial ranks. The faculty trainers hail from the five academic Departments of the College of Veterinary Medicine, and have well funded and productive laboratories that specialize in the following areas: Cancer; Cellular & Organismal Metabolism; Developmental Biology & Reproduction; Genome Biology; Infection Biology; and Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cells. By providing ten interested students per year an opportunity to avail themselves of the wide range of superb faculty and resources at Cornell University, the Veterinary Investigator Program strives to engage early stage veterinary trainees in high impact biomedical research and to motivate them to pursue a career that includes rigorous scientific inquiry.
