DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The aim of this proposal is the establishment of an interdisciplinary postdoctoral training program in comparative pathobiology under the umbrella of the existing graduate program in the Department of Comparative Pathobiology. The overall goal of the program is to prepare veterinarians for careers in biomedical research. Specifically, this training program is aimed at veterinarians who have completed residency training in pathology, laboratory animal medicine or a clinical specialty. The 14 primary faculty associated with the proposed training program work with animal models of infectious diseases, cancer and inflammation. They are affiliated with 5 different departments, and represent a variety of disciplines, including molecular biology, chemistry, immunology, microbiology, and virology. The students in the program will be recruited from residency programs at Purdue University and other institutions across the US. Specific efforts will be made to recruit students from ethnic/racial minority populations. The training in the proposal program consists of core and elective courses in subject areas, seminars, courses and workshops in research ethics, and completion of a research project under the guidance of one of the primary faculty associated with the program. The students will receive a Ph.D. degree upon successful completion of the program. The proposal requests funding for 2 post-doctoral fellowships per year for the duration of the grant. Each fellowship is for three years, after which the student will be paid by the mentor and/or department until completion of the Ph.D. requirements. The outcome of the training program is board-certified veterinarians with a Ph.D. in biomedical research. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): Veterinarians can play an important role in biomedical research and public health as principal investigators or collaborators on multidisciplinary research teams. However, there is a shortage of veterinarians with solid training in biomedical research. This proposal will train highly qualified and motivated veterinarians with advanced specialty training in a clinical or diagnostic discipline.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案的目的是在比较病理生物学系现有研究生计划的保护下建立了比较病理学的跨学科的博士后培训计划。该计划的总体目标是为兽医研究的职业做好准备。具体而言，该培训计划的目的是完成病理学，实验室动物医学或临床专业的居住培训的兽医。与拟议的培训计划有关传染病，癌症和炎症的动物模型相关的14个主要教师。他们隶属于5个不同部门，并​​代表各种学科，包括分子生物学，化学，免疫学，微生物学和病毒学。该计划中的学生将从普渡大学和美国其他机构的居住计划中招募。将做出具体的努力，以招募少数民族/种族少数民族的学生。提案计划中的培训包括在学科，研讨会，课程和研究道德的讲习班中的核心和选修课程，以及在与该计划相关的主要教师之一的指导下完成研究项目的培训。学生将获得博士学位。成功完成该计划后的学位。该提案要求在赠款期间每年为每年2个博士后研究金提供资金。每个奖学金都是三年的，之后将由导师和/或部门支付学生，直到获得博士学位。要求。培训计划的结果是获得博士学位的董事会认证的兽医。在生物医学研究中。 公共卫生相关性（由申请人提供）：兽医可以在生物医学研究和公共卫生中发挥重要作用，作为多学科研究团队的首席研究人员或合作者。但是，在生物医学研究方面，缺乏兽医的兽医。该建议将在临床或诊断学科中通过高级专业培训来培训高素质和积极进取的兽医。
