 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）：K25 指导定量研究职业发展奖的目标是使候选人能够在研究影响语音声源机制的研究计划的背景下，发展语音声学和气动声学领域的专业知识。由于腭咽功能不全 (VPI) 导致的言语障碍。 专业发展计划包括在指导和指导下的结构化课程、讲习班、研讨会和个人学习。指导委员会包括由在言语和言语障碍声学建模、言语空气动力学、空气声学、医学成像技术和 VPI 临床管理方面具有专业知识的多学科研究人员组成。该研究计划涉及旨在实现的特定目标。解决由于腭咽开口的大小与 VPI 和语音失真的严重程度之间缺乏相关性而存在的知识差距。该研究将以两个假设为指导：1）气流引起的声音特性将随着腭咽开口尺寸的减小而减小。腭咽开口增大；2）随着腭咽开口尺寸的增大，由于共振而产生的声音特性也会增加。该奖项提供的培训和研究经验将使候选人能够成功地担任 VPI 临床领域的独立研究员。和颅面异常。
