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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will provide $298,025 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to investigate the progression of dental wear and dental senescence over a 50-year simulated chewing period. The study will employ a mechanical chewing simulator and analysis techniques to measure changes in dental function, occlusal topography, microstructure, and elemental composition of...
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...
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 awarded a $139,833 project grant to develop isotopic analyses of human tooth enamel. With a completion date of April 30, 2023, this award will support research under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). Specifically, the grant will enable the recipient to develop isoscapes and test lead isotope ratios in human tooth enamel. Isoscapes are maps that show spatial variations in isotope ratios, while analyzing lead isotopes in teeth...
This $199,930 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation Division of Materials Research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey on the effect of inorganic trace elements on the structure and mechanical properties of dentin hydroxyapatite. The study aims to investigate how trace minerals like manganese, copper, and lithium impact the material properties of dentin, a vital component of...
This $168,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports the acquisition of artificial resynthesis technology (ART) by Loyola University of Chicago. ART is an innovative chewing simulator that will replicate oral biomechanics to further interdisciplinary research and education in oral biology. It will allow researchers to study dental wear patterns in humans and other species, helping to unravel contributions of diet and exogenous abrasives to tooth wear over time. Clinically, ART will...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $171,885 supports research at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The research aims to advance understanding of cranial morphological diversity in bats through an integrative study of functionality. The project will explicitly examine how the interaction of feeding, respiration, olfaction and other cranial functions shaped skull evolution in bats. Researchers will use micro-computed tomography to image...
The National Science Foundation awarded The Pennsylvania State University a $450,000 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) from May 1, 2023 to April 30, 2028. Penn State will reconstruct ancient human microbiomes and analyze shifts in oral microbial communities that accompanied changes in diet, environment, and human interactions over the past 1,000 years. The university will sequence ancient DNA from calcified dental plaque to identify...
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...
