- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $201,974 to Loyola University of Chicago to investigate the progression of dental wear and dental senescence over a 50-year simulated chewing period. The study employs a custom chewing simulator to measure changes in dental function, occlusal topography, microstructure, and elemental composition of extracted third molars. This research aims to advance the...
- This three-year, $392,642 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), will fund research at the University of Florida to investigate developmental links between teeth and facial growth from birth through adulthood. The principal investigators will use micro computed tomography scanning and Amira software to generate three-dimensional reconstructions of jaws, allowing...
- This $349,996 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program aims to develop a new dental technology to improve oral health through microbial transplantation. The project will test the use of beneficial oral microbes from healthy donor dental plaque to treat conditions like dental decay and gum disease in recipients. The effort will employ a 3D printed system to grow and propagate the transplanted microbes, with the...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $754,092 project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Chicago to conduct collaborative research on the evolution of the hyoid, pharynx, and swallowing biomechanics in mammals, including humans. The research aims to: 1) document the full range of hyoid chain variation across mammalian clades, 2) quantify relationships between hyoid chain anatomy and the anatomy of the tongue and pharynx, and 3) determine...
- This federal Project Grant award of $500,000.00, issued by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), supports research at Northwestern University to develop a computational model for predicting time-dependent changes in the structure and composition of mineralized tissues. The project aims to create a robust, modular, and expandable phase field model based on structural, compositional, and thermodynamic data to better understand the interplay between...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program awarded a $507,773 Project Grant to the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville Division to study the genetic factors influencing internal and external tooth morphology in non-human primates. The 3-year project, starting in April 2024, uses non-invasive microCT scanning and quantitative genetics analysis to measure dental variation and determine the degree to which tooth characteristics are...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,000,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) federal grant program to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania. The grant supports the development of an intraoral device that integrates multimodal data from the oral microbiome to predict risk for systemic health issues like neurological problems, heart disease, and...
- This $515,926 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund research to develop an in vitro gingival (gum) tissue system to study the role of microbial communities on oral health and disease. The 5-year project, beginning June 1, 2024, will be conducted by the University of Massachusetts Lowell's Office of Research Administration-Lowell. The key objectives are: (1) developing and validating a microphysiological system to study oral...
