 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this K25 Mentored Quantitative Research Career Development Award is to enable the candidate to develop expertise in the areas of acoustics and aeroacoustics of speech, in the context of a research plan that investigates sound source mechanisms that affect speech disorders due to velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI). The professional development plan involves a structured curriculum of coursework, workshops, seminars, and individual study under the supervision of a mentorship and advisory team. The mentorship committee includes multidisciplinary team of established researchers with expertise in acoustic modeling of speech and speech disorders, aerodynamics of speech, aeroacoustics, medical imaging techniques, and clinical management of VPI. The research plan involves specific aims that have been designed to address the gap in knowledge for the lack of correlation between the size of the velopharyngeal opening with VPI and the severity of speech distortion. The research will be guided by two hypotheses: 1) sound characteristics due to airflow will decrease as the size of the velopharyngeal opening is increased; 2) sound characteristics due to resonance will increase as the size of the velopharyngeal opening is increased. The training and research experience provided by this award will enable the candidate to successfully bear as an independent researcher in the clinical areas of VPI and craniofacial anomalies.

 描述（由申请人提供）：这个K25指导定量研究职业发展奖的目标是使候选人能够在语音声学和航空声学领域发展专业知识，在研究计划的背景下，调查影响由于腭咽功能不全（VPI）引起的语音障碍的声源机制。专业发展计划包括课程作业，讲习班，研讨会和个人学习的指导和咨询团队的监督下结构化的课程。导师委员会包括多学科的研究人员，他们在语音和语音障碍的声学建模，语音的空气动力学，航空声学，医学成像技术和VPI的临床管理方面具有专业知识。该研究计划涉及特定目标，旨在解决由于腭咽开口大小与VPI和语音失真严重程度之间缺乏相关性而导致的知识差距差距。该研究将由两个假设指导：1）由于气流的声音特性将随着咽口的尺寸增加而减小; 2）由于共振的声音特性将随着咽口的尺寸增加而增加。该奖项提供的培训和研究经验将使候选人能够成功地承担VPI和颅面异常临床领域的独立研究人员。
