项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY This application for a K24 Midcareer Investigator Award will promote Dr. Alayne Markland’s mentoring and career development in patient-oriented research on lower urinary tract symptoms and urinary incontinence at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). Dr. Markland is a geriatrician and clinician investigator dedicated to advancing evidence on the prevention, evaluation, and treatment of bladder and bowel symptoms for older women and men. With funding from the National Institute on Aging, the National Institute on Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases, and the Department of Veterans Affairs, she leads a nationally recognized, patient-oriented research program that emphasizes improving access to care models, as well as improving knowledge on shared risk factors underlying aging-associated genitourinary dysfunction. Her work focuses on the intersection of common aging syndromes, such as depression and functional status, with lower urinary tract symptoms and incontinence. To date, she has created new models of care for women and men, improved patient-reported outcome measures used in clinical care and research and provided evidence to guide national and international guidelines on the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms and incontinence. She has also emerged as a successful mentor of early-stage clinical investigators who have published high-impact research, obtained NIH and VA-funded awards, and continues to improve patient-oriented research focused on behavioral interventions. With award support, Dr. Markland plans to expand and refine her mentoring skills through didactics and focused training, and to continue mentoring her current early-stage trainees and recruit new trainees with a focus on female trainees from diverse backgrounds. All trainees will be provided with educational and research experiences tailored to their career stage and interests. With award support, Dr. Markland’s research program will be augmented through a newly funded clinical trial addressing the use of mobile health platforms to deliver behavioral treatments for lower urinary tract symptoms and incontinence care, which will provide new opportunities for mentoring trainees, collaborations, and future funding. The Aim of New Study 1 is: Identify mechanisms by which behaviorally based mobile health platforms improve lower urinary tract symptoms and incontinence severity. The Aim of New Study 2 is: Define barriers and facilitators for using mobile health technology for improving lower urinary tract symptoms and incontinence severity. The Aim of New Study 3 is: Determine effective, feasible candidate components for future mobile health interventions. The long-term goal of Dr. Markland’s research and career is two-fold: 1) to become a leader of behaviorally-based treatment interventions with digital health platforms, and 2) to enhance skills as a mentor of patient-oriented research — particularly for women and minority mentees. Through this award and the new research studied proposed, Dr. Markland will support high-quality mentees with the potential to become leaders in patient-oriented research related to aging and lower urinary tract symptoms/incontinence.

项目概要此次申请 K24 职业中期研究员奖将促进 Alayne Markland 博士的指导和以患者为导向的下尿路症状和尿失禁研究的职业发展 Markland 博士是阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校 (UAB) 的一位老年病学家和临床研究员。致力于推进膀胱和肠道症状的预防、评估和治疗的证据在国家老龄化研究所、国家糖尿病研究所的资助下，她领导着一个全国公认的消化系统疾病、肾脏疾病和退伍军人事务部，以患者为导向的研究计划，强调改善获得护理模式的机会，以及改善她的工作重点是与衰老相关的泌尿生殖功能障碍的共同危险因素。常见的衰老综合症（例如抑郁症和功能状态）与下尿路的交叉点迄今为止，她已经为女性和男性创建了新的护理模式，并得到了改善。患者报告的结果测量用于临床护理和研究，并为指导国家提供证据她还制定了有关下尿路症状和尿失禁治疗的国际指南。成为早期临床研究人员的成功导师，这些研究人员发表了高影响力的研究，获得 NIH 和 VA 资助的奖项，并继续改进以患者为中心的研究行为干预。在奖项的支持下，马克兰博士计划通过教学和实践来扩展和完善她的指导技能。重点培训，并继续指导现有的早期学员并招募新学员重点关注来自不同背景的女性学员，将为所有学员提供教育和研究。在奖项的支持下，马克兰博士的研究项目根据他们的职业阶段和兴趣量身定制了经验。将通过一项新资助的临床试验得到增强，该试验涉及使用移动医疗平台来提供针对下尿路症状和失禁护理的行为治疗，这将提供新的指导学员、合作和未来资助的机会新研究 1 的目的是：确定。基于行为的移动健康平台改善下尿路症状的机制新研究 2 的目的是：明确使用移动医疗的障碍和促进因素。改善下尿路症状和尿失禁严重程度的技术新研究 3 的目的是：确定未来移动健康干预措施的有效、可行的候选组件。 Markland 博士的研究和职业生涯有两个方面：1) 成为基于行为的治疗的领导者数字健康平台的干预措施，以及 2) 增强作为以患者为导向的研究导师的技能 — 特别是针对女性和少数族裔学员，通过该奖项和提出的新研究，博士。马克兰将支持有潜力成为以患者为导向的研究领导者的高素质学员与衰老和下尿路症状/失禁有关。
