Short Term Research Training for Veterinary Students

Description: (provided by applicant): There is a need to increase the number of veterinarians trained in biomedical research to support the nation's health in a number of areas, including: the prevention, surveillance, diagnosis, and control of newly emerging and reemerging infectious diseases; food and water safety, and; development and appropriate application of animal models for use in biomedical research. The goal of the Summer Scholars Research Program is to provide veterinary students a first exposure to research, with the desired outcome of ultimately attracting more graduate veterinarians into a research career. Faculty mentors are working across a range of biomedical disciplines using a variety of model systems, and all 20 listed in this proposal have active funding from federal, state or industry sources, and experience mentoring trainees. Students are expected to participate for 40 hrs per week for a minimum of 12 weeks (allowing one week for vacation) during the three summer months between their first and second years or second and third years of the professional curriculum.
