项目摘要/摘要 新墨西哥大学的临床网站为目前2011-2016年的PFDN做出了重大贡献 周期，包括创新概念提案设计、翻译研究、UNM的CTSC的参与和 少数族裔招募。我们已经实现了网络的目标，即进行严格的、多中心的试验，以调查 女性盆底疾病的临床和人文方面。我们实现了我们的目标，使 少数群体妇女参加网络试验，并在招聘和培训中达到或超过网络目标 保留妇女参加正在进行的PFDN临床试验。我们的团队由罗杰斯博士领导，医学博士，首席研究员 (PI)和Komesu博士(候补PI)，他们都在设计和实施 多中心随机临床试验，并在本周期领导了重大转化性研究。自从加入了 PFDN，UNM在桑多瓦尔地区医疗中心(SRMC)增加了子网站，这位阿尔伯克基老将的 行政管理(VA)、新墨西哥州西区诊所(WSC)，并扩大了我们私人诊所的参与 同行，医学博士Doak和医学博士Dandade。此外，我们还增加了我们的泌尿外科临床 教职员工包括Dunivan博士(PIWSC子站点)、Jeppson MD(PISRMC子站点)和Cichowski MD (分站PI VA)，所有人都广泛参与了本周期网络的所有方面。除了……之外 我们才华横溢的妇科教员，UNM带来了一支熟练的多学科泌尿外科医生团队，结肠-直肠 外科医生、胃肠病专家、理疗师、影像专家和博士参与PFDN工作。 这份提案强调了UNM临床站点在本周期取得的成就以及我们未来的计划 在即将到来的周期中，成功地向人阵作出了贡献。

Project Summary/Abstract The University of New Mexico’s clinical site has made major contributions to the current 2011-2016 PFDN cycle including innovative concept proposal design, translational research, involvement of UNM’s CTSC and minority recruitment. We have met the Network’s goal of conducting rigorous, multi-center trials to investigate the clinical and human aspects of pelvic floor disorders on women. We achieved our objectives to bring minority women to participate in Network trials and met or exceeded Network goals in the recruitment and retention of women to ongoing PFDN clinical trials. Our team is led by Dr. Rogers, MD, Principal Investigator (PI), and Dr. Komesu, MD (Alternate PI) both of whom have extensive experience in the design and conduct of multi-center randomized clinical trials, and have led major translational studies this cycle. Since joining the PFDN, UNM has added subsites at Sandoval Regional Medical Center (SRMC), the Albuquerque Veteran’s Administration (VA), UNM Westside Clinic (WSC), and expanded the participation of our private practice counterparts, Drs. Doak, MD and Dandade, MD. In addition, we have increased our urogynecologic clinical faculty to include Drs. Dunivan, MD (sub-site PI WSC), Jeppson MD (sub-site PI SRMC), and Cichowski MD (sub-site PI VA) all of whom have participated extensively in all aspects of the Network this cycle. In addition to our talented urogynecologic faculty, UNM brings a skilled multidisciplinary team of urologists, colo-rectal surgeons, gastroenterologist, physical therapists, imaging specialists, and PhD’s to participate in PFDN work. This proposal highlights the accomplishments of UNM clinical site this cycle and our plans for continued successful contributions to the PFDN in the upcoming cycle.
