The Prevention of Lower Urinary tract Symptoms (PLUS) Research Consortium will use qualitative and quantitative strategies to conduct collaborative, transdisciplinary studies to establish the scientific basis for future intervention studies to promote bladder health and prevent lower urinary tract symptoms

(LUTS) and associated bladder conditions such as bladder infections, urinary incontinence, voiding dysfunction, overactive bladder and interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome in adolescent and adult women across the life course.
This FOA is to invite applications for Clinical Research Centers to build on foundational work to establish a longitudinal cohort study with the intent of identifying plausible targets for future intervention studies.
The consortium will also conduct a range of additional studies to facilitate the success of future intervention and implementation studies.
