Research Training in Experimental Medicine and Pathology

描述（由申请人提供）： 拟议的实验医学和病理学研究培训计划旨在为兽医在生物医学研究中的独立职业做好准备。所有学员将在博士后水平与任命为研究员在适当部门的杜兰大学或路易斯安那州立大学。该计划的目标是为合格的兽医提供必要的研究培训和经验，使他们能够成功地竞争研究资金，并为生物医学研究的职业生涯做好准备。（包括医学院，公共卫生和热带医学学院和杜兰国家灵长类动物研究中心（TNPRC）和路易斯安那州立大学（LSU）医学和兽医学院（LSUSVM），TNRPC和LSUSVM发挥主导作用。在此培训补助金支持下进行的研究项目可用于满足博士学位的要求。或者路易斯安那州立大学培训将包括比较医学、病理学和微生物发病机理方面的教学，并广泛接触使用动物模型进行基于分子机制的生物医学研究所需的最先进的调查工具。该应用程序提供的资金将支持指导研究培训，强调使用多学科方法和实验设计，数据解释，口头和书面沟通技巧以及研究道德行为的批判性思维进行实验室和转化研究。使用的培训方法将包括但不限于出席杜兰大学和路易斯安那州立大学提供的正式课程，参加研究会议和研讨会，监督工作经验，出席至少一次国家和多个区域会议，在既定调查员的监督下完成研究项目，并提交一份或多份描述工作的手稿供出版。学员还将接受NIH资助申请准备的指导，并将提交NIH资助（K01，K08或R21）。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed Research Training Program in Experimental Medicine and Pathology is designed to prepare veterinarians for independent careers in biomedical research. All trainees will be at the postdoctoral level with appointments as Research Fellows in appropriate departments of Tulane University or Louisiana State University. The objective of the program is to provide qualified veterinarians with the requisite research training and experience to enable them to successfully compete for research funding and prepare them for careers in biomedical research This training grant is a joint venture between Tulane University Health Sciences Center (includes the School of Medicine, School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine and the Tulane National Primate Research Center- TNPRC) and Louisiana State University (LSU) Schools of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine (LSUSVM) with the TNRPC and LSUSVM having the lead roles. Research projects performed while supported by this training grant can be used towards fulfilling the requirements of a Ph.D. at either Tulane or LSU. Training will include instruction in aspects of comparative medicine, pathology and microbial pathogenesis and broad exposure to state-of-the-art investigative tools needed for molecular-mechanism based biomedical research using animal models. Funding provided by this application will support mentored research training emphasizing bench and translational research using multidisciplinary methods and critical thinking in experimental design, data interpretation, oral and written communication skills and ethical conduct of research. Training methods used will include but no be limited to attendance of formal courses offered at Tulane and LSU, participation in research conferences and seminars, supervised work experience, attendance of at least one national and multiple regional meetings, completion of a research project under the supervision of an established investigator and submission of one or more manuscripts describing the work for publication. Trainees also receive instruction in preparation of NIH grant applications and will be expected to submit an NIH grant (K01, K08, or R21).
