DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Veterinary students are uniquely qualified in comparative medicine, a training that is a resource in animal model research. Yet, a majority of students do not pursue research careers, principally because they lack exposure to biomedical research. The proposed Summer Veterinary Student Research Program (SVSRP) at the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine (VMRCVM) will train veterinary medicine students in research skills and encourage them to pursue a research career. VMRCVM has had success with this and similar summer research programs in the past, training 87 students since 1995. SVSRP will give students experience in areas of research that couple student interests in animal health with research in animal models of infectious disease, immunology and immunopathology, cellular and molecular pathology, molecular biology, and food, nutrition, and health. Mentors will be assigned by the Advisory and Selection Committee to applicants based on applicant interests. Students will receive training in the writing of research proposals and scientific papers, biostatistics and experimental design, computer-based graphics, reports and presentations, visual display of quantitative information, humane care and use of animal models, and the ethical conduct of research. A unique feature of this program will be a visit to the NIH, USDA, the Howard Hughes Medical Research Institute, and other agencies in Washington, DC to better understand research career opportunities for veterinarians and to learn how public policy is influenced by research. Further, to sustain interest in biomedical research, we will organize a weekly meeting with successful DVM researchers from academia, government, or biotech industries. After completing orientation and writing a research proposal, students will spend nine weeks in the mentor's laboratory doing research. The ethical conduct of research will be stressed with weekly seminars on this subject that will supplement an orientation short course and will include speakers with expertise in scientific integrity, human experimentation, and the Belmont Report. We will recruit from all 28 veterinary medical schools in the nation, particularly from Tuskegee University with the objective of recruiting underrepresented minorities.

描述（由申请人提供）：兽医学生在比较医学方面具有独特的资格，这是一种动物模型研究资源的培训。然而，大多数学生并不从事研究职业，主要是因为他们缺乏接触生物医学研究的机会。弗吉尼亚-马里兰地区兽医学院 (VMRCVM) 拟议的夏季兽医学生研究计划 (SVSRP) 将培训兽医学生的研究技能，并鼓励他们从事研究职业。 VMRCVM 过去在该项目和类似的夏季研究项目中取得了成功，自 1995 年以来培训了 87 名学生。SVSRP 将为学生提供研究领域的经验，将学生对动物健康的兴趣与传染病、免疫学和免疫病理学、细胞和分子病理学、分子生物学以及食品、营养和健康的动物模型研究结合起来。顾问和选拔委员会将根据申请人的兴趣为申请人指派导师。学生将接受以下方面的培训：研究计划和科学论文的写作、生物统计学和实验设计、计算机制图、报告和演示、定量信息的视觉显示、人道关怀和动物模型的使用以及研究的道德行为。该计划的一个独特之处是参观美国国立卫生研究院、美国农业部、霍华德休斯医学研究所和华盛顿特区的其他机构，以更好地了解兽医的研究职业机会，并了解研究如何影响公共政策。此外，为了保持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、政府或生物技术行业的成功 DVM 研究人员的会议。完成迎新培训并撰写研究计划后，学生将在导师的实验室进行九周的研究。每周都会举办有关该主题的研讨会，以强调研究的道德行为，该研讨会将补充定向短期课程，并将包括具有科学诚信、人体实验和贝尔蒙特报告方面专业知识的演讲者。我们将从全国所有 28 所兽医医学院招募人员，特别是从塔斯基吉大学招募人员，目的是招募代表性不足的少数族裔。
