General Information
The faculty and administration at the
Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine are dedicated to
training veterinary students in comparative biomedical research. To
achieve this goal, several funding mechanisms are used to organize and
provide a summer research-training program for first and second year
veterinary students. For the past several years, grant support from the
National Center for Research Resources of the
National Institutes of Health
has provided the foundation for our Veterinary Research Scholars training program.
In addition, a grant from the
Merck-Merial
Research Grants Program, and department and college support
allow us to provide competitive scholarships for 10 students who are
attending US Colleges of Veterinary Medicine and 2 students who are
attending Veterinary College outside the US.
The Veterinary Research Scholars
program is an intensive research-oriented experience directed towards
attracting our most talented professional students into biomedical
research careers. In particular, the program exposes veterinary students
to critical thinking processes inherent to hypothesis-driven research
activities, methodologies involved in design and execution of laboratory
experiments and multicenter clinical trials, and ethical issues
pertinent to biomedical research.
Veterinary Research Scholars
participate in the 3-month program beginning mid May and concluding mid
August. The program consists of mentored research training by program
faculty and weekly research workshops. The summer stipend is
approximately $2,000 per
month for the 3-month duration of the program.
Eligibility
To be eligible for consideration, students must
be accepted to the DVM program or have completed at least one year of the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine
program, on or about mid-May of the application year. The program is highly competitive
and selective. Successful applicants will be in the top of their
class, have a sincere interest in experiencing the research environment
of the College, and have excellent letters of recommendation.
