- The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $198,000 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to conduct research on integrating population-wide oral microbiome data to better understand health differences in the United States. The project, which will run from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027, aims to disentangle how an individual's background and socioeconomic factors...
- The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.121), awarded a $422,665 Project Grant to Oregon State University (OSU) to develop an integrated dental plaque bioanalytical platform for point-of-care diagnostics of oral diseases. The project aims to detect and quantify hydrogen peroxide and lactate produced by beneficial and pathogenic oral bacteria, and establish a correlation between oral caries...
- 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 $645,034 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) program, supports a research project titled "LEVERAGING WHOLE GENOME SEQUENCING AND FUNCTIONAL GENOMIC CHARACTERIZATION TO IMPROVE NSCLP GENE DISCOVERY." The project aims to integrate genomic data, including whole genome sequencing and polygenic risk scores, to systematically evaluate and validate the contributions of...
- This $762,432 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) program. The grant was awarded to the Augusta University Research Institute, Inc. (doing business as Georgia Health Sciences), a non-profit research organization, to investigate the role of the CD73 enzyme in controlling inflammation and bone loss associated with...
- This federal Project Grant award of $1,899,042.00 from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), supports research at the University of Pittsburgh to analyze high-dimensional genomic datasets to reveal mechanistic insights on divergent outcomes of head and neck cancer. The project aims to use existing public databases of human head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) to identify new mechanisms...
- The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $304,998 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) federal grant program to KDH Research & Communication, Inc., a woman-owned small business located in Atlanta, Georgia. Through this grant, KDH Research & Communication will develop a web-based clearinghouse to serve as a centralized hub for researchers and dental providers to increase participation in oral health research 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...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $673,091 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) federal grant program to the University of Pittsburgh. The grant, which runs from August 14, 2025 to May 31, 2028, aims to advance the genomics knowledge base for oral diseases, focusing on dental caries and periodontitis. Key activities include performing the largest genome-wide association scans of these conditions, developing polygenic risk scores, and identifying gene-by-environment interaction effects. This work is expected to lead to better understanding of the genetic architecture of oral diseases, produce new DNA-based prediction tools, and identify modifiable factors for precision dentistry, ultimately reducing disease burden and health disparities.
