Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Training Program

7.项目摘要 有文件证明，国家仍然迫切需要训练有素的兽医专家， 在生物医学研究中。此外，兽医研究人员在以下方面发挥着关键作用： 多学科和跨学科的研究活动，因为它们自然地连接基础 和临床研究。为了满足这一培训需求，北卡罗来纳州的教师们 兽医大学学院（CVM）建立了跨学科 2009年兽医专业学生生物医学研究培训计划（IBRTP） 致力于兽医学院的计划，T35是第一个 2010年资助。该培训计划的目标是提供跨学科的 生物医学研究经验，专门针对兽医学生具有较强的 对研究事业感兴趣。培训计划也是培养新的 教师之间的跨学科研究合作。学员完成a 3-一个月的研究经验，在实验室的教员来自九个 学科学员由来自不同学科的两名教员指导， 创建并执行跨学科项目。33名教师参加了 该方案资金充足，并有良好的培训记录。十大纪律 选择的是NC State的优势领域;临床科学，细胞和分子 生物学，神经科学，遗传学和基因组学，传染病，统计学和 流行病学，再生医学，胃肠生理学，计算 生物学、药理学和毒理学。研究项目强调融合 这两个学科创造了一个新的方法来解决生物医学研究问题。项目 优先考虑临床和基础科学学科相结合。学员将 兽医学生在他们的第一年或第二年谁是建立在以前的研究 体验. 2010年，国家卫生研究院资助了四个实习生名额。NIH的数量 2012年支助的受训人员名额增至7个，2015年增至10个。迄今为止，共有59个NIH资助 学员已完成培训。我们在此续期申请中建议， 国家卫生研究院资助的培训名额将保持在每年10个。计划要求 包括：1）每周一次研讨会系列，主题涉及研究伦理和科学， 专业发展; 2）讨论跨学科研究的周刊俱乐部 论文; 3）参加Boehringer-Ingelheim-NIH国家兽医学者 研讨会和年度CVM研究研讨会。

7. Project Summary There continues to be a documented dire national need for veterinary specialists trained in biomedical research. Furthermore, veterinary researchers play a key role in multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research activities since they naturally bridge basic and clinical research. To address this training need, faculty in the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) established the Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Training Program (IBRTP) for veterinary students in 2009 with funds committed to the program from the College of Veterinary Medicine and the T35 was first funded in 2010. The objective of this training program is to provide interdisciplinary biomedical research experience specifically targeted to veterinary students with a strong interest in a research career. The training program also serves as a bridge to foster new interdisciplinary research collaborations amongst faculty members. Trainees complete a 3-month research experience in the laboratories of faculty members drawn from nine disciplines. Trainees are mentored by two faculty members from different disciplines to create and execute an interdisciplinary project. The 33 faculty members participating in this program are well funded and have a strong training track record. The ten disciplines selected are areas of strength at NC State; Clinical Sciences, Cellular and Molecular Biology, Neurosciences, Genetics and Genomics, Infectious Diseases, Statistics and Epidemiology, Regenerative Medicine, Gastrointestinal Physiology, Computational Biology, and Pharmacology and Toxicology. Research projects emphasize the melding of two disciplines to create a novel approach to a biomedical research problem. Projects combining clinical and basic science disciplines are given priority. Trainees will be veterinary students in their first or second year who are building on prior research experience. Four trainee slots were funded by the NIH in 2010. The number of NIH supported trainee slots grew to 7 in 2012 and 10 in 2015. To date, a total of 59 NIH funded trainees have completed the program. We propose in this renewal application that the number of NIH funded training slots be maintained at 10 per year. Program requirements include: 1) a weekly seminar series on topics related to research ethics and scientific and professional development; 2) a weekly journal club discussing interdisciplinary research papers; 3) participation in the Boehringer-Ingelheim-NIH National Veterinary Scholars Symposium and the annual CVM Research Symposium.
