- The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.121), awarded a $219,660 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research on "Intercepting the Evolution of Pro-Tumoral Myeloid Cells During the Initiation of Oral Cancer". This project aims to investigate how myeloid cells in precancerous lesions develop suppressive phenotypes that inhibit anti-tumor immune...
- This Project Grant award of $315,000.00 was provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), which administers the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.121). The goal of this 2-year project is to study the role of the TRPC1 protein as a potential therapeutic target for treating oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), a common and deadly type of head and neck cancer. The research will focus on understanding how TRPC1 mediates calcium...
- The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.121), awarded a $616,000 Project Grant to the Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine. This grant, with a performance period from Aug 1, 2025 to Jul 31, 2029, will support research investigating the use of the Hedgehog signaling pathway inhibitor drug sonidegib as a potential therapeutic strategy for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The key...
- The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $156,000 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) federal grant program to the University of Colorado-Denver. The grant will support a research project titled "Sex-Specific Immune Microenvironment in Oral Cancer" from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027. The research aims to investigate sex-specific differences in the immune microenvironment of head and neck squamous cell...
- This $598,332 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) program, will support research to investigate the role of the truncated TrkB isoform (TrkBT1) in oral cancer pain. The primary awardee, the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA), will conduct studies to examine how TrkBT1 expressed in trigeminal sensory neurons and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC)...
- 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...
- The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.121), awarded a $716,123 Project Grant to the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute Hospital, Inc. in Florida. The grant, awarded on September 8, 2025, aims to establish a clinical cohort and develop novel analytical methodologies to validate, discover, and optimize non-invasive liquid biopsy tests for prognosis prediction in head and...
- This federal Project Grant award of $483,360.00 from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), will fund research to target vulnerabilities in the EGFR/HER3/HER2 oncogenic signaling circuitry for developing new precision therapies for oral cancer. The project aims to explore synthetic lethal and gene interaction networks to expose druggable systems vulnerabilities and uncover mechanisms of...
- 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...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $511,578 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.121) to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as the Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania. The grant, awarded on August 21, 2025, will fund research to understand the role of bitter taste receptors (T2Rs) in oral cancer tumor-associated macrophages. The research aims to define the T2R signaling mechanisms that regulate macrophage-mediated clearance of apoptotic oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells through T2R4 and T2R14, and downstream calcium and nitric oxide signaling. The goal is to identify strategies to guide tumor-associated macrophages towards anti-tumor functions rather than tumor-supportive phenotypes, potentially leading to improved treatment approaches for OSCC.
