Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Training Program

7.项目总结 据记载，全国仍迫切需要训练有素的兽医专家 在生物医学研究方面。此外，兽医研究人员在 多学科和跨学科的研究活动，因为它们自然而然地连接了基础 和临床研究。为了满足这种培训需求，北卡罗来纳州的教职员工 大学兽医学院(CVM)成立跨学科 2009年兽医专业学生生物医学研究培训计划(IBRTP)资助 致力于该项目的兽医学院和T35是第一个 2010年获得资金支持。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具有较强兽医专业知识的学生 对研究事业的兴趣。培训计划也是培养新的 教职员工之间的跨学科研究合作。学员完成一项 3个月的实验室研究经验，从9名教师中挑选出来 纪律。学员由来自不同学科的两名教职员工指导 创建并执行跨学科项目。参加此次活动的33名教职员工 该计划资金充足，有良好的培训记录。十大纪律 选定的是北卡罗来纳州的优势领域；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 两个学科为生物医学研究问题创造了一种新的方法。项目 临床学科和基础学科相结合是优先考虑的。实习生将是 在先前研究的基础上发展起来的一年级或二年级的兽医学生 经验。2010年，美国国立卫生研究院资助了四个实习生名额。美国国立卫生研究院的数量 2012年和2015年，受支持的实习生名额增加到7个和10个。到目前为止，NIH总共资助了59个 学员们已经完成了这个项目。我们在这份续期申请中建议 国立卫生研究院资助的培训名额将维持在每年10个。计划要求 包括：1)每周举办一次系列研讨会，主题涉及研究伦理和科学和 专业发展；2)讨论跨学科研究的周刊俱乐部 论文；3)参加勃林格-英格尔海姆-国立卫生研究院国家兽医学者 研讨会和一年一度的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.
