Mission

SVSRP studentThe objective of the Summer Veterinary Student Research Program (SVSRP) is to encourage veterinary students in a biomedical research career. Veterinarians with a biomedical research background are in demand and this career provides many opportunities in universities, federal, biotech and pharmaceutical institutions. To achieve our objective we have identified four key success factors:

  • Close interaction of high-quality students who show an interest in research with enthusiastic competent scientists as mentors
  • Educational activities that support a fundamental learning experience in biomedical research
  • Exposure to veterinarians who have chosen to pursue a biomedical research career
  • Strong follow-up program ensuring research options for program alumni

 
Funding

  • SVSRP trainees receive a stipend by direct deposit to the bank account provided by the scholar.
  • Travel, lodging and meals for the Washington, D.C. visit and symposium are reimbursed.
  • Students visiting from another college of veterinary medicine receive additional money to cover housing and travel expenses.
