Comparative Medicine and Translational Research Training Program

CMTRTP摘要 国家研究理事会记录了国家对兽医的迫切需求。 接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， 在比较研究和翻译研究活动中的作用，因为它们自然地连接了基础研究和翻译研究。 和临床研究。为了满足这一培训需求，我们要求NIH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资金， 研究员每年和2个预T32的位置。受训人员将是攻读学位的研究员 比较医学和转化研究培训计划由 兽医学院（CVM）和比较医学 北卡罗来纳州州立大学的CMI研究所。该培训计划专门针对 具有DVM学位的个人，他们已经完成了专业培训，并被设计为 为学员竞争早期职业发展奖和快速职业发展奖做好准备， 作为主要研究者或在另一个研究密集型 事业学员完成要求导致博士学位比较 生物医学科学（CBS）在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7）病理学。培训教师是资金充足的多产科学家， 拥有强大的培训记录和多样化的研究专业知识。培训教师是 CBS研究生课程和CMI的所有成员，代表4个部门， 2个学院。研究项目强调比较和翻译的主题， 由CVM和CMI在组织工程，药理学和生理学，遗传学和 基因组学和新兴传染病。方案要求包括：（1）a 顶点比较医学和转化研究研讨班;（2） 专业发展课程和讲习班;（3）研究道德课程;（4） 资助写作课程和试点资助计划，提供通往K奖的途径;以及 (5)年度研讨会。这些要求是在相关要求之外提出的 研究生项目的人16名学员已完成培训。十三持有教员 在学术界的职位，一个是研究病理学家，两个是研究员在其他 机构职能体系研究员获得了7个NIH或其他职业发展赠款和15个 获得校外研究赠款，发表论文67篇（第一作者48篇）， 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.
