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）：盆底疾病领域的许多以患者为导向的研究在方法论上都很薄弱，很大程度上是因为该领域的临床研究人员缺乏适当的培训和教育。服务和管理角色的竞争压力侵蚀了进行高质量临床研究所需的必要时间，以及为新研究人员提供指导能力的优质时间。 Ingrid Nygaard 医学博士是爱荷华大学医学院妇产科副教授，致力于在盆底疾病领域成为一名富有成效的学术临床研究员。该奖项将为 Nygaard 提供支持，使其能够投入更大的精力进行以患者为导向的研究和指导。本提案要求付出百分之四十的努力来执行这些功能。该百分比的努力将补充已受保护的时间，以执行研究计划中描述的资助研究。通过进一步扩展她在研究方法和先进统计技术方面的专业知识，尼加德将增强她为盆底疾病领域做出重大贡献的潜力。该奖项还将使她能够投入所需的时间来指导年轻的研究人员，并增加盆底疾病临床研究人员的数量。 Nygaard 的全球目标是显着提高盆底功能障碍女性的护理质量。为此，她的目标是通过开展尽可能高质量的以患者为导向的研究，并指导其他研究人员，使他们也能做同样的事情，从而为该领域的文献做出贡献。她的长期职业目标包括：1) 推进女性盆底疾病的科学发展，2) 成为从事盆底疾病以患者为导向的研究的年轻科学家的榜样，3) 培训一支新的骨盆底疾病骨干队伍。对盆底疾病感兴趣的临床科学家。 她在获奖期间的五年内的近期目标包括：1）通过说教和自主学习，在以患者为导向的研究至关重要的领域增进个人知识，2）根据她最近授予的联邦拨款进行研究，3）开发一个由盆底功能障碍初级研究人员组成的多学科小组，并为该小组中的个人提供适当的指导，以促进多学科以患者为导向的研究，4）与泌尿外科实施联合研究金计划，泌尿妇科和盆腔重建手术，5) 鼓励年轻研究人员进行女性健康方面的临床研究，特别是盆底疾病领域。接受指导的个人将主要来自妇产科、泌尿科和内科（胃肠病学）以及护理和公共卫生学院。
