This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.396 - Cancer Biology Research) provides $714,062 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to conduct research into the biological mechanisms underlying racial disparities in oral and head and neck cancer outcomes, particularly among Black patients. The key objectives of this 5-year research project are: 1) to develop a tailored RNA prognostic model to enhance early-stage oral cancer survival...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.121), will fund research to define oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC)-associated microbiome and metabolome signatures and determine if microbiota transfer from OSCC patients to mouse models promotes tumorigenesis. The $234,000 award to the University of Colorado-Denver will extend previous studies on the role of the human...
This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $469,830.00 was provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121). The grant aims to identify oral bacterial species with anti-cancer properties and evaluate their potential for preventing or treating oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Specifically, the study will assess the effects of Streptococcus mitis and Haemophilus parainfluenzae on OSCC...
This $390,000 Project Grant award under the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research's (NIDCR) Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) supports research at the Medical College of Wisconsin, Inc. to leverage single-cell co-culture and gene expression profiling techniques for identifying tumor antigen-specific T cells in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The key objectives are to: 1) Use a high-throughput single-cell co-culture system to isolate and identify...
This $252,915 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), aims to develop machine learning approaches to classify aggressive tissue phenotypes and predict disease-free survival in HPV-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The project, led by Dr. Yingci Liu at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, will leverage existing molecular data repositories...

The project aims to utilize advanced imaging approaches to develop imaging-based biomarkers related to a hybrid epithelial/mesenchymal state within HNSCC tumors and its...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $164,322.00, was provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121). The award supports research to investigate the evolution of pro-tumoral myeloid cells during the transition from oral epithelial dysplasia to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, with a focus on the role of the SOX2 oncogene and its impact on the STING immune signaling pathway. The...
This federal Project Grant award, totaling $156,000.00, was provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121). The funding supports research to investigate sex-specific differences in the immune microenvironment of oral cancers, also known as head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The research aims to determine how myeloid cell populations and activities differ between male and female...
This $550,296 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), aims to develop a multimodal imaging diagnostic platform to improve risk assessment of precancerous oral lesions.

This Project Grant award of $1,248,472.00 from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.121), aims to (1) assess the impact of implicit bias on oral healthcare decision-making and the recruitment/retention of a diverse dental research workforce, and (2) implement interventions to mitigate implicit bias and advance oral health equity. The project involves a mixed-methods research approach,...

This $659,936 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.121), will support a comprehensive study on racial disparities in oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) outcomes. The University of Maryland, Baltimore will conduct multi-scale analyses to evaluate biological, imaging, and socioeconomic factors driving survival differences between African American and European American OSCC patients. This research aims to identify prognostic and predictive biomarkers to advance personalized treatment strategies and reduce racial disparities in OSCC. The project will analyze data from 163 African American and 836 European American OSCC cases, leveraging the university's diverse clinical database and additional samples from the Yale Head and Neck Biorepository. By integrating findings across biological, imaging, and socioeconomic domains, this study will provide the first comprehensive assessment of the unique characteristics of African American OSCC to inform targeted interventions.
