Project Grant R01DE034379
- This $322,000 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), will support secondary data analysis from the CariesAway study to advance the implementation of school-based oral health programs using silver diamine fluoride (SDF). The research aims to explore the longitudinal caries arrest capabilities of school-based SDF applications, estimate surface-level caries risk...
- The University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. was awarded a $467,008 Project Grant from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), to develop a novel non-invasive treatment for dental caries in children and patients with special needs. The project aims to create a biomimetic peptide-polymer interface that works synergistically with silver diamine fluoride (SDF) to arrest caries progression and...
- The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.121), awarded a $155,500 Project Grant to The University of Iowa. The grant funds a study to identify the causal effects of preventive dental services, including comprehensive oral exams, prophylaxis, fluoride application, and dental sealants, on academic achievement among children enrolled in Medicaid in Iowa. The study aims to determine the ages at...
- This federal Project Grant award of $163,411 from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.121), supports research to characterize the nutritional niches and interactions between Streptococcus mutans, a primary driver of dental caries, and other commensal oral streptococci species. The research aims to understand how these microcolony biofilm structures form, the interactions between S....
- The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $219,132 Project Grant to Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121). The funding will support a 2-year project titled "Demystifying DMFT/DMFS: Pragmatic Nationwide Assessment of Dental Caries Outcomes from NHANES." The project aims to develop advanced statistical methods for efficiently assessing dental caries experience using complex nationwide...
- This Project Grant award of $965,145, provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) program, aims to examine disparities in oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) outcomes among Medicaid-enrolled adults. The key objectives are to: Characterize differences in early-stage diagnosis and 5-year survival rates for OPCs based on race, ethnicity, sex, and rurality using the SEER-Medicaid dataset. Assess the impact of...
- The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $421,800 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to Midwestern University. The purpose of this 3-year grant, with a start date of September 7, 2023, is to develop hybrid hydrogel-based dental adhesives that are less vulnerable to hydrolytic degradation compared to current methacrylate-based alternatives. The goal is to create a truly biomimetic dental adhesive that can not only...
- This $597,807 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 establish a novel 13C-labeled metabolite library for the study of dental caries. The key objectives are to: Create a 13C-labeled oral bacterial metabolite reference library for Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus gordonii using SWATH LC-MS, with dual peaks identified and curated to improve rigor...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $645,988.00, was provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121). The primary objective is to leverage an eco-systems biology approach and phage-specific computational platform to define the role of bacteriophages in the development of dental caries and the broader oral microbiome. Key activities include collecting caries-free and caries-active plaque samples,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the federal Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), provides $135,000 to the ADA Forsyth Institute, Inc. (The Forsyth Institute) to support the Forsyth Student Scholars (FSS) summer internship program. The program aims to increase the representation of underrepresented and educationally disadvantaged students in oral health research by providing high school students from...
This federal Project Grant award of $693,179 was provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) program. The grant supports a multistage mixed methods study to determine the impact of Medicaid reimbursement policies on the use of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) treatment and downstream oral health outcomes for Medicaid-enrolled children. Specifically, the study will (1) assess the impact of Medicaid SDF reimbursement policies on state-level oral health outcomes and provider adoption of SDF, and (2) identify key factors influencing dentist use of SDF through qualitative interviews. This research aims to provide evidence on how Medicaid policies can support the use of SDF to reduce caries-related treatments for underserved pediatric populations. The grant was awarded to The Ohio State University and has an ultimate completion date of May 31, 2030.
