09/01/2014 - 08/31/2019

Sponsor: NIH/NIDDK K12 DK100022

Status: Ongoing

This project involves adaptation and pilot-testing of a continence promotion program delivered in the community setting for older US women coupled with training in community outcomes research and dissemination and implementation science for the Scholar. The primary goals for the K12 program are to train MD, DVM, and PhD scholars at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with the skills necessary to establish successful careers as independent researchers studying benign urology.
