Comparative Biomedical Sciences Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：正如美国国家科学院所记录的，并由NIH国家研究资源中心优先考虑的，在当代研究中受过充分培训的兽医研究生严重短缺。特别是，兽医需要通过跨学科研究，动物建模，生物安全，食品安全和公共政策来促进重要的公共卫生问题。兽医需要接受基于假设的科学培训，熟悉尖端技术，以填补学术界和工业界的现有空缺，并在21世纪世纪的兽医研究和教学中发挥领导作用。这项培训补助金的目的是提供所需的资源，以招聘和支持优秀的研究生兽医谁将受益于在UW-麦迪逊集体研究企业的培训。一个杰出的名册包括25名研究科学家谁同意在拟议的计划培训。培训师的研究重点有两个主要领域：1）传染病和免疫学; 2）生理过程的细胞和分子调节。培训师的名单包括教师的任期是在兽医学院，医学和公共卫生学院，以及农业和生命科学学院。三名训练员是灵长类中心的成员。所有培训师都在校外研究经费、同行评审出版物以及培训研究生和博士后研究人员方面拥有出色的记录。据推测，大多数受训人员将攻读博士学位。比较生物医学科学研究生课程所有培训师都是比较生物医学科学研究生课程和其他校园研究培训课程的成员。25名教练中有13名获得了D.V.M.和博士学位，因此，为我们将招募到我们的培训计划的学生提供杰出的榜样。我们希望该计划将为学员提供批判性思维，理论背景，当代实验室工具和沟通技巧，以满足学术界和工业界的迫切需求，并在兽医研究中担任领导职务。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): As documented by the National Academies, and prioritized by the National Center of Research Resources of the NIH, there is a severe shortage of graduate veterinarians with adequate training in contemporary research. In particular, there is a need for veterinarians to contribute to important public health issues through interdisciplinary research, animal modeling, biosecurity, food safety, and public policy. Veterinarians trained in hypothesis-based science, and familiar with cutting-edge technologies, are needed to fill existing vacancies in academia and industry, and to assume leadership roles in veterinary research and instruction in the 21st century. The purpose of this training grant is to provide resources needed to recruit and support the training of outstanding graduate veterinarians who will benefit from the collective research enterprise at UW- Madison. An outstanding roster includes 25 research scientists who have agreed to be Trainers in the proposed program. There are two major areas of research focus among the Trainers: 1) Infectious Diseases and Immunology; and 2) Cellular and Molecular Regulation of Physiological Processes. The list of Trainers includes faculty whose tenure home is in the School of Veterinary Medicine, the School of Medicine and Public Health, and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Three trainers are members of the Primate Center. All trainers have outstanding records of extramural research funding, peer-reviewed publications, and training graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. It is assumed that most trainees will pursue the Ph.D. in the Comparative Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program. All Trainers are members of the Comparative Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program, and other campus research training programs. Thirteen of the 25 Trainers have earned both the D.V.M. and Ph.D. degrees, and as such, provide outstanding role models for the students we will recruit to our training program. We expect that this program will provide trainees with the critical thinking, theoretical background, contemporary laboratory tools, and communication skills needed to address pressing needs in academia and industry, and assume leadership positions in veterinary research.
