Summer Veterinary Student Research (SVSRP)

兽医专业的学生尤其擅长比较医学，这是一项非常宝贵的培训。 动物模型研究的资源。然而，大多数学生不追求研究职业，因为 缺乏接触生物医学研究的机会。这份针对我们夏季的相互竞争的续订提案 弗吉尼亚-马里兰兽医学院兽医学生研究项目 医学(VMCVM)将培训兽医学生的研究技能，并鼓励他们 追求研究事业。我们将从全国所有30所经认证的兽医学校中招募人才， 特别是从塔斯基吉大学和密西西比大学招收代表不足的少数族裔。总计 在接下来的五年资助期内，每年将招聘六名新的寻求DVM的学者 这个项目。SVSRP将为学生提供与学生相结合的研究领域的经验 感兴趣的有传染病、免疫学和炎症、神经科学和肿瘤学/临床 研究。咨询和遴选委员会将根据申请者的情况为申请者指派导师 兴趣。学生将接受撰写研究计划书和科学论文的培训。 定量信息的设计、生物统计、报告、演示和可视化显示。他们的训练 还将包括人道地使用动物模型、人类受试者研究、负责任的行为 由具有人体实验专业知识的演讲者领导的研究，贝尔蒙报告，动物 《福利法》、科学诚信、严谨性和可重复性。这项计划的一个独特之处是 访问华盛顿特区和马里兰州贝塞斯达的NIH、USDA、FDA和其他机构，首先看到- 介绍兽医在这些机构中的作用，并了解公共政策如何受到研究的影响。 在完成定向和撰写研究计划书后，学生们将用九周时间进行 在导师的实验室里亲身实践研究。为了保持人们对生物医学研究的兴趣，我们将 每周组织一次与来自学术界、政府或 生物技术/生物制药产业。VMCVM，自1995年以来一直成功地管理夏季研究 培训计划，最终培训189名DVM学生进行生物医学研究。自.以来 在2006年管理这一T35 SVSRP时，我们基本上完成了最初提出的所有工作 在过去的14年里。续订此SVSRP将使VMCVM能够继续提供 为DVM学生提供生物医学研究的机会和培训，并鼓励他们从事研究- 以事业为基础。

Veterinary students are particularly qualified in comparative medicine, a training that is an invaluable resource in animal model research. However, most students do not pursue research careers because of a lack of exposure to biomedical research. This competing renewal proposal for our Summer Veterinary Student Research Program (SVSRP) at the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine (VMCVM) will train veterinary medicine students in research skills and encourage them to pursue research careers. We will recruit from all 30 accredited veterinary medical schools in the nation, particularly from Tuskegee and Mississippi Universities, to recruit underrepresented minorities. A total of six new DVM-seeking scholars will be recruited each year during the next five-year funding period of the program. SVSRP will provide students with experience in research areas that couple student interests with infectious disease, immunology and inflammation, neuroscience, and oncology/clinical research. The Advisory and Selection Committee will assign mentors to applicants based on applicant interests. Students will receive training in writing research proposals and scientific papers, experimental design, biostatistics, reports, presentations, and visual display of quantitative information. Their training will also include the humane use of animal models, human subjects research, responsible conduct of research led by speakers with expertise in human experimentation, the Belmont Report, the Animal Welfare Act, scientific integrity, and rigor and reproducibility. A unique feature of this program will be visiting the NIH, USDA, FDA, and other agencies in Washington, DC, and Bethesda, MD, to see first- hand the role of veterinarians at these institutions and learn how public policy is influenced by research. After completing orientation and writing a research proposal, students will spend nine weeks conducting hands-on research in the mentor's laboratory. To sustain interest in biomedical research, we will organize a weekly meeting with successful DVM researchers from academia, government, or biotech/biopharma industries. VMCVM, since 1995 has successfully administered summer research training programs, culminating in training 189 DVM students in biomedical research. Since administering this T35 SVSRP in 2006, we have completed essentially all that we originally proposed during the last 14 years. Renewing this SVSRP will enable the VMCVM to continue providing opportunities and training to DVM students in biomedical research and encourage pursuing a research- based career.
