Summer Veterinary Student Research Program (SVSRP)

兽医专业的学生在比较医学方面具有独特的资格，这种培训是一种资源， 动物模型研究。然而，大多数学生不追求研究事业，主要是因为 缺乏接触生物医学研究。这个竞争性的夏季更新提案 兽医学生研究计划（SVSRP）在马里兰州兽医学院 医学（VMCVM）将培训兽医学生的研究技能，并鼓励他们 从事研究事业。我们将从所有30所经认可的兽医学校招募， 国家，特别是从塔斯基吉大学与招聘代表性不足的目标 少数群体在未来五年内，每年将招募6名新的DVM寻求学者 计划的资金期限。SVSRP将为学生提供研究领域的经验， 将学生的兴趣与传染病，免疫学和 炎症和脊椎动物遗传学。导师将由咨询和选择 委员会根据申请人的兴趣。学生将接受写作训练， 研究建议和科学论文，生物统计学和实验设计，报告和 演示文稿，直观显示定量信息。他们的训练还将包括人道关怀 动物模型的使用和研究的道德行为，由具有以下专业知识的演讲者领导： 人体实验，贝尔蒙特报告，动物福利法，科学的完整性和严谨性， 再现性该计划的一个独特之处是访问美国国立卫生研究院，美国农业部和其他机构， 华盛顿，更好地了解兽医的研究职业机会，并学习如何 公共政策受到研究的影响。在完成定向和撰写研究提案后， 学生将在导师的实验室里进行为期九周的研究。保持对…的兴趣 生物医学研究，我们将组织每周一次会议，与成功的DVM研究人员从 学术界、政府或生物技术行业。VMCVM已成功管理夏季 过去的研究培训计划，最终培训了143名DVM学生在生物医学 1995年以来的研究。自2006年实施T35 SVSRP以来，我们基本上完成了所有 我们在过去10年里最初提出的。更新此SVSRP将使VMCVM能够 继续为DVM学生提供生物医学研究的机会和培训，并鼓励 追求以研究为基础的职业生涯，成为世界级的科学家。

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 of lack of exposure to biomedical research. This competing renewal proposal for our Summer Veterinary Student Research Program (SVSRP) at the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine (VMCVM) will train veterinary medicine students in research skills and encourage them to pursue a research career. We will recruit from all 30 accredited veterinary medical schools in the nation, particularly from Tuskegee University with the objective of recruiting underrepresented minorities. A total of 6 new DVM-seeking scholars will be recruited each year during the next five year funding period of the program. SVSRP will provide students with experience in areas of research that couple student interests with research in animal models of infectious disease, immunology and inflammation and vertebrate genetics. 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, reports and presentations, visual display of quantitative information. Their training will also include humane care and use of animal models and the ethical conduct of research as led by speakers with expertise in human experimentation, the Belmont Report, the Animal Welfare Act, scientific integrity and rigor and reproducibility. A unique feature of this program will be a visit to the NIH, USDA, and other agencies in Washington, DC to better understand research career opportunities for veterinarians and to learn how public policy is influenced by research. After completing orientation and writing a research proposal, students will spend nine weeks in the mentor's laboratory doing research. To sustain interest in biomedical research, we will organize a weekly meeting with successful DVM researchers from academia, government, or biotech industries. VMCVM has successfully administered summer research training programs in the past, culminating in training 143 DVM students in biomedical research since 1995. Since administering this T35 SVSRP in 2006, we have completed essentially all that we originally proposed during the last 10 years. Renewal of this SVSRP will enable the VMCVM to continue providing opportunities and training to DVM students in biomedical research and encourage pursuit of a research-based career as world-class scientists.
