- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $185,918.00 and issued by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), supports research to evaluate the impact of Medicaid coverage for treatment of periodontal disease (TPD) on health outcomes. The primary objectives are to assess the effects of TPD coverage on tooth loss, emergency department use for dental problems, and oral healthcare costs. The research will leverage Medicaid claims data from 2016-2023 to conduct a...
This $248,997 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) will fund a 5-year training and research plan to establish Dr. Tumader Khouja as an independent oral health services researcher. The award aims to develop and implement evidence-based interventions that integrate dental care into medical settings, utilizing both qualitative and quantitative research methods. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: 1) Training in intervention sciences and biomedical informatics, 2) Gaining expertise in qualitative methods to inform, design, and evaluate theoretically-based behavioral interventions, and 3) Professional development as an independent researcher. These goals will be achieved through formal coursework, trainings, national conferences, mentorship, and research experience. The overall objective is to understand the barriers and facilitators to managing non-traumatic dental conditions in emergency departments through quantitative and qualitative analyses.
