 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（由适用提供）：本K25指导的定量研究职业发展奖的目的是使候选人能够在研究计划的背景下，在声音源机制上发展声音源的声音和言语航空声学领域的专业知识，从而影响源自速度质量规范性不足的声音障碍（VPI）。专业发展计划涉及课程工作，研讨会的结构化课程，研究计划涉及特定的目标，这些目的旨在解决知识差距，因为研究计划的规模之间缺乏相关性。 VPI的尾流和语音扭曲的严重程度。这项研究将由两个假设进行指导：1）随着静脉咽灯开口的大小增加，气流引起的声音特征将降低； 2）随着静脉咽喉开口的大小增加，由于共振引起的声音特征将增加。该奖项提供的培训和研究经验将使候选人能够成功成为VPI和颅面异常临床领域的独立研究人员。
