DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Much of the patient-oriented research in the area of pelvic floor disorders is methodologically weak, largely because of lack of appropriate training and education of clinical researchers in this field. Competing pressures of service and administrative roles erode away the essential time required to perform high-quality clinical research and to provide quality time to beginning investigators in a mentoring capacity. Ingrid Nygaard, M.D., an Associate Professor in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Iowa College of Medicine, is committed to spending her career as a productive academic clinical researcher in the area of pelvic floor disorders. This award would provide the support to allow Nygaard to devote a greater percent effort to patient-oriented research and mentoring. Forty percent effort is requested in this proposal to perform these functions. This percent effort will complement the time already protected to perform the funded research described in the research plan. By further expanding her expertise in research methodology and advanced statistical techniques, Nygaard will increase her potential to make significant contributions to the field of pelvic floor disorders. This award will also allow her to dedicate the required time to mentor young investigators and increase the pool of clinical researchers in pelvic floor disorders. Nygaard's global aim is to significantly improve the quality of care of women with pelvic floor dysfunction. To this end, she aims to contribute to the body of literature in this area by conducting the highest possible quality patient-oriented research and by mentoring other investigators so that they can do the same. Her long-term career objectives include: 1) advancing the state of the science in women's pelvic floor disorders, 2) serving as a role model for junior scientists pursuing patient-oriented research in pelvic floor disorders, and 3) training a new cadre of clinical scientists interested in pelvic floor disorders. Her immediate goals over the five years encompassed in the award period include: 1) furthering personal knowledge in areas vital to patient-oriented research via didactic and self-directed learning, 2) conducting research pursuant to her recently awarded federal grants, 3) developing a multi-disciplinary group of junior investigators in pelvic floor dysfunction, and providing individuals in this group with appropriate mentoring to foster multi-disciplinary patient-oriented research, 4) implementing a combined fellowship program, with the Department of Urology, in Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery, and 5) encouraging young researchers to pursue clinical investigation in women's health, and particularly in the area of pelvic floor disorders. Individuals to be mentored will be identified primarily from the departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Urology, and Internal Medicine (gastroenterology), and from the Colleges of Nursing and Public Health.

描述（由申请人提供）：骨盆底部疾病领域的许多面向患者的研究在方法论上都是弱的，这主要是由于缺乏适当的培训和该领域临床研究人员的教育。服务和行政角色的竞争压力侵蚀了进行高质量的临床研究所需的必要时间，并为以指导能力开始研究人员提供优质的时间。 爱荷华大学医学院的妇产科副教授Ingrid Nygaard，医学博士，致力于在骨盆底障碍领域担任一名富有成效的学术临床研究人员的职业。该奖项将提供支持，以允许Nygaard将更大的努力用于以患者为导向的研究和指导。该提案要求执行这些功能40％的努力。这一百分比将补充已经保护的时间，以执行研究计划中描述的资助研究。通过进一步扩大她在研究方法和高级统计技术方面的专业知识，Nygaard将提高她为骨盆底疾病领域做出重大贡献的潜力。该奖项还将使她能够将所需的时间用于指导年轻的调查人员，并增加骨盆底疾病中的临床研究人员库。 Nygaard的全球目标是显着提高骨盆底功能障碍女性的护理质量。为此，她的目标是通过进行最高质量的以患者为导向的研究并指导其他研究人员，以便他们可以做同样的事情，从而为该领域的文献贡献。她的长期职业目标包括：1）推进女性骨盆底疾病中的科学状况，2）作为初级科学家的榜样，以追求骨盆底疾病的患者研究，以及3）培训新的对骨盆骨疾病感兴趣的临床科学家。 Her immediate goals over the five years encompassed in the award period include: 1) furthering personal knowledge in areas vital to patient-oriented research via didactic and self-directed learning, 2) conducting research pursuant to her recently awarded federal grants, 3) developing a multi-disciplinary group of junior investigators in pelvic floor dysfunction, and providing individuals in this group with appropriate mentoring to foster multi-disciplinary patient-oriented研究，4）实施一项联合奖学金计划，与泌尿外科部，泌尿疗法和重建性骨盆手术，以及5）鼓励年轻研究人员在妇女健康方面进行临床研究，尤其是在骨盆底疾病领域。将要指导的个人将主要来自妇产科，泌尿外科和内科（胃肠病学）的妇产科和护理和公共卫生学院。
