The program seeks to help veterinary students become biomedical researchers. A secondary goal is to provide research experience to veterinary students interested in careers in laboratory animal medicine and/or pathology. Previous participants were veterinary students at Colorado State University, Cornell University, Kansas State University, Michigan State University, North Carolina State University, Ohio State University, Purdue University, Tufts University, Tuskegee University, University of California, University of Illinois, University of Tennessee, Washington State University, and Western University. The Program consists of workshops on research-related topics, a veterinary student journal club, sessions on research career development for veterinarians, an individual research project, and a veterinary student research symposium. The research project is the most important part of the Program. The goals of the research project are to have students address a significant experimental question, work independently and with other researchers, and produce and publish results. Students are matched with a preceptor (see list of faculty below) according to research interests. The preceptor outlines a focused project for the student to perform in their laboratory. Students become completely involved in their assigned laboratory participating in laboratory meetings and social events, attending seminars with other members of their laboratory, and working on their research project at least 40 hours/week.

The aim of the Summer Scholars Program is to provide veterinary medical students the opportunity to explore the world of biomedical research, develop and complete a biomedical research project during the summer. The intent is to engage students in a creative, problem-solving research activity and to provide a learning experience that will lead to the discovery of new knowledge in an area of their choosing and identify potential pathways to a career in biomedical research. Research plans will be developed by students with faculty mentor input, on any topic of interest to the student and likely to lead to the discovery of new information. Example topics are: immunology and infectious diseases, cancer biology, molecular epidemiology, experimental studies focused on nutrition and obesity, pharmacology, environmental toxicology, mechanisms of pathogenesis, zoonoses, biomechanics, cardiovascular pathophysiology, and others. The mentor and other advisors will provide guidance to students and an assessment of progress. Students will provide at completion of the study, an oral presentation of their results to their colleagues and all mentors and a presentation of results via posters at the annual Merial NIH National Veterinary Scholars Symposium, to be held in 2010 at the University of Georgia, and at the LSU Phi Zeta Research Emphasis Day. It is noteworthy that one Summer Scholar won an award at the 2008 LSU Phi Zeta Research Emphasis Day. LSU Students will receive elective credit in the curriculum (VMED 5010 or VMED 5463) for successful completion of the program. Students will be strongly encouraged to work with their mentors to publish their findings in peer-reviewed journals separately or as a smaller piece of work with their mentors. Sponsors: The program is funded by a Merial Foundation grant and an NIH T35 training grant.

Laboratory animals are used in nearly half of all research projects supported by the National Institutes of Health. Significant needs exist at the national level for skilled scientists trained to work with and interpret the data generated from the use of rodent animal models. In response to this national need a research training program has been established through funding by the National Centers for Research Resources to provide an environment for veterinarians (D.V.M. or V.M.D.) and D.V.M./Ph.D.''s to effectively utilize mouse models of human disease. Specifically, veterinarian scientists are trained in state of-the-art molecular and cellular techniques to systematically evaluate the mechanistic pathobiology and phenotype of experimental mouse models of human disease. The training program is coordinated through an established graduate program in the College of Veterinary Medicine, Department of VeterinaryBiosciences and supported by a unified group of basic and clinical scientists with ongoing collaborative programs at The Ohio State University and Children''s Hospital. The scientists have expertise in endocrinology, infectious disease, genetics, oncology, molecular biology, immunology, physiology, biochemistry, and pathology. Trainees gain knowledge and skills to fully understand and evaluate pathophysiologic alterations of murine models of human disease through both didactic coursework and applied training in pathology and molecular biology. In addition, trainees interact with our multidisciplinary faculty to identify the range of research problems that use murine models. They acquaint themselves with the ongoing basic and clinical research studies in the laboratories and clinical sites of the participating faculty, and select a research problem that utilizes a murine model for endpoint evaluation. Following the selection of a preceptor and research problem, the trainee participates in the design and performance of experiments, as well as analysis and presentation of data regarding a murine model. Trainees develop skills in clinical, gross, and histologic pathology, molecular and immunologic techniques, and use transgenic and immunodeficient mouse models to identify and characterize alterations in embryonic and postnatal development. Therefore, trainees acquire a broad background in molecular biology, genetics, pathology, laboratory animal medicine, as well as research design methodology to fulfill national needs in the development of skilled scientists in mouse pathobiology. :Sponsors: Mouse Pathology Training Grant is funded by the National Centers for Research Resources.
