- The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.121), awarded a $639,248 Project Grant to the University of Florida to assess the marginal associations between dental caries and periodontal diseases, and their determinants, in cross-sectional studies. The research will develop statistical methodologies to address the challenge of "informative cluster size" in analyzing correlated dental...
- 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) 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 $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...
- 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 from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), will establish a 12-week summer research program for undergraduate students focused on dental/oral-related research. The $134,934 award, effective February 1, 2025 through January 31, 2030, will provide courses for research skill development and expose students, including from underrepresented minority populations, to...
- 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 on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) awarded a $2,921,992 Project Grant titled "Making Caries Prevention Smart: Adaptive Interventions for Precision Dental Medicine in Schools" to New York University (NYU) on September 14, 2025. This grant, funded under CFDA 93.307 Minority Health and Health Disparities Research Program, aims to develop and assess personalized, resource-efficient approaches to school-based caries prevention using adaptive interventions. The project will explore hypotheses related to reducing treatment non-response and identifying optimal dynamic treatment regimes to tailor dental care to individual patient attributes and responsiveness. It will conclude with a microcosting analysis to quantify the intervention costs under different implementation scenarios, taking steps towards understanding how to make school-based caries prevention programs more sustainable.
