> **NIH NIH K24** · UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT CHICAGO · 2021 · $324,000

## Abstract

Abstract
Dr. Ardith Doorenbos is a clinician researcher who focuses on interdisciplinary pain and symptom science and
the application to healthcare of technologies that can increase access to pain management. This K24 award
will provide her with protected time to (1) further her own line of patient-oriented research, (2) strengthen
important leadership and mentorship skills; and (3) promote the development and retention of junior scientists
in independent careers in patient-oriented research related to providing effective non-opioid options for the
treatment of pain conditions. Over the 3-year award period, Dr. Doorenbos will expand her skills in leadership
and mentorship while building a legacy of patient-oriented researchers. She will continue ongoing mentorship
of two postdoctoral fellows and three junior faculty, as well as recruit new postdoctoral fellows. Her mentoring
plan builds on her past success in inter professional research at the University of Illinois Chicago, which
provides an outstanding setting for collaborative training and patient-oriented research. Dr. Doorenbos’ long-
term goals are (1) to conduct patient-oriented research and (2) to promote junior researchers’ careers in
patient-oriented research that fully develops and evaluates innovative, cost-effective interventions that
decrease chronic pain by providing effective non-opioid options and can be widely implemented into health
care settings.
