Hot Flash Interference Scales
The Hot Flash Related Daily Interference Scale (HFRDIS) is the gold standard measure for assessing hot flash interference. As of February 23, 2019, the original publication of this scale had been cited 192 times by national and international colleagues, mentioned in books on menopause, and translated into many different languages. The Hot Flash Interference Scale (HFI), a shorter version of the HFRDIS, was created through psychometric testing and is also available for use in research or clinical practice. Both are unidimensional scales scored as an overall mean (sum of items divided by number of items). Please contact me for licensing and use agreements.

Benchmarking research capacity (individual, school, campus, university levels)
I can conduct an evaluation of research capacity including talents, resources, processes, and performance and compare results to best practices to identify areas of strengths and opportunities. At the individual level, this work is helpful for developing and refining faculty programs of research. At the school level or beyond, this work is foundational for research strategic planning
Research strategic planning
Services vary from small to large scale. I can provide input and direction on a strategic plan that is existing or under development (small scale) or fully develop a strategic vision with a plan of action and evaluation metrics (large scale).
Professional development (individual or group mentoring)
Available for individual or group consultations on a range of topics. Some sample topics are:
- How to do research without funding
- How to get your work funded for the first time
- How to write competitive NIH funding applications
- How to write for publication
- How one project can result in many publications
- How to design visually compelling posters and patient materials
- State of the science in menopause management
Scientific editing
Prices vary based on length of written materials and desired turn around time.
Peer review / critique of funding applications
I can provide a detailed peer review and critique of all components of a funding application before you submit it to the funding agency to increase your chances of being funded.
Data safety monitoring board member
I can serve as a data and safety monitoring board member to meet regulatory requirements of your institution or funding agency.
Transform your research and maximize its positive impact
