Mentors . . . at the bench with cutting edge researchers

Deadline for proposal abstracts: January 31st.

Mentors are expected to:
     • allow students to attend seminars, journal clubs and program activities
     • allow students to publish/present posters at meetings
     • provide lab/research facilities
     • have an active, ongoing research project

Mentors for Iowa State's Veterinary Scholars Research Program include two members of the prestigious National Academy of Sciences.  In addition to faculty from the College of Veterinary Medicine, some of the participating mentors are collaborators from the USDA National Animal Disease Center. Additional mentors come from other academic departments within ISU.  These highly motivated researchers and teachers hold dozens of patents for their discoveries and innovative techniques.
