Award to University of California at Davis for the STAR program providing research training to DVM students, supporting 15 trainees annually with stipends and advanced research training from 2026 to 2029.
Description
The UC Davis T35 Students Training in Advanced Research (STAR) program provides DVM students with a balanced experience in hands-on hypothesis-driven research that builds broadly applicable skills in critical thinking and problem-solving. The program aims to give federal agencies more control over the number of trainees, the quality of their training, and the appropriateness of training to meet societal needs. Funds support 10-week stipends for 15 DVM trainees annually, offering didactic and experiential training in rigorous research methodology and science communication at the interface of animals, humans, and their environment.
