Summer Veterinary Student Research (SVSRP)

兽医专业的学生在比较医学方面特别合格，这种培训是非常宝贵的。 动物模型研究资源。然而，大多数学生不追求研究事业，因为 缺乏接触生物医学研究的机会这个竞争性的夏季更新提案 兽医学生研究计划（SVSRP）在马里兰州兽医学院 医学（VMCVM）将培训兽医学生的研究技能，并鼓励他们 从事研究事业。我们将从全国30所经认证的兽医学校招募， 特别是塔斯基吉和密西西比大学，招收代表性不足的少数族裔。共 在未来五年的资助期内，每年将招募六名新的DVM寻求学者。 节目SVSRP将为学生提供研究领域的经验， 对传染病、免疫学和炎症、神经科学和肿瘤学/临床感兴趣 research.顾问及遴选委员会将根据申请人的情况， 利益学生将接受撰写研究提案和科学论文的培训， 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 还将包括动物模型的人道使用，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，贝尔蒙特报告，动物 福利法，科学诚信，严谨性和可重复性。该计划的一个独特之处是 访问美国国立卫生研究院，美国农业部，FDA和其他机构在华盛顿，DC和贝塞斯达，MD，首先看到- 手兽医在这些机构中的作用，并了解公共政策是如何受到研究的影响。 在完成定位和撰写研究提案后，学生将花费九周时间进行 在导师的实验室里进行实践研究。为了保持对生物医学研究的兴趣，我们将 每周组织一次会议，与来自学术界、政府或 生物技术/生物制药行业。自1995年以来，VMCVM成功地管理了夏季研究 培训项目，最终培训了189名生物医学研究DVM学生。以来 在2006年实施T35 SVSRP后，我们基本上完成了我们最初提出的所有建议 在过去的14年里。更新此SVSRP将使VMCVM能够继续提供 机会和培训DVM学生在生物医学研究，并鼓励追求研究- 基于职业。

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.
