The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $432,209 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) program to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) for a 2-year period starting on August 1, 2023. The funding supports research to investigate the role of the CXCL10-CXCR3 axis in the compounding effects of diabetes mellitus on periodontitis. Specifically, the research aims to further elucidate the role of CXCL10 in the...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under its Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) provides $434,746 to Nova Southeastern University, Inc. to investigate the impact of diabetes-induced hyperglycemia on the development of peri-implantitis, a common complication following dental implant placement. The project aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which hyperglycemia leads to changes in the oral microbiome and promotes...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $762,432 Project Grant (CFDA 93.121 - Oral Diseases and Disorders Research) to the Augusta University Research Institute, Inc. (doing business as Georgia Health Sciences) in Augusta, GA. The project, titled "Metabolic-Purinergic Fitness in Periodontal Health and Disease", aims to investigate the role of the enzyme CD73 in controlling inflammation and bone loss associated with periodontal disease. The...
This federal Project Grant award of $248,999 from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), supports research on the role of CD4+ memory T cell subtypes in periodontal disease recurrence. The primary objectives are to: 1) identify the spatiotemporal development of CD4+ memory T cells in periodontal tissues, 2) elucidate the pathogenicity of periodontal disease-induced CD4+ memory T cell subtypes,...
This federal Project Grant award of $311,000.00 was provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to the University of Washington. The goal of the project is to employ single-cell RNA sequencing to characterize the microbial and inflammatory state within clinically healthy tissues of patients with active periodontal disease. Specifically, the project aims to resolve key differential signaling...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (CFDA 93.121, Oral Diseases and Disorders Research) provides $158,500.00 to the Trustees of Indiana University, doing business as Indiana University Indianapolis, to conduct research on how diabetes affects oral epithelial stem cells and wound healing. The key objectives are to determine how diabetes disrupts the oral epithelial stem cell microenvironment and impairs stem cell function, leading to...
This Project Grant award of $248,627 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 understand the role of T cell responses to the oral pathogen Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans in the immunopathology of periodontal disease. The research aims to: 1) assess systemic T cell responses to this pathogen in human periodontal disease, and 2) determine the role of...
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), provides $645,009 to the Augusta University Research Institute, Inc. to investigate the role of osteocyte NOD1 signaling in bone loss associated with periodontal disease. The key objectives are to: 1) determine if osteocytes use the NOD1 receptor to recognize periodontal pathogens and induce the bone resorption...
This 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 provide $423,500.00 to Nova Southeastern University, Inc. to develop a humanized mouse model of periodontitis. The goal is to investigate the potential pathogenic role of the protein Semaphorin 4D expressed by human osteoclasts in the progression of periodontal disease. This advanced mouse model will allow researchers to...

(doing business as The Forsyth Institute) to conduct research on the mechanisms of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-α) regulation in periodontitis. The research aims to determine if PPAR-α agonist treatment can modulate macrophage polarization to...

The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $307,000 Project Grant (CFDA 93.121 - Oral Diseases and Disorders Research) to the University of Florida to investigate the expression of cellular senescence markers in gingival tissues of individuals with type 2 diabetes and periodontal disease. The project aims to compare senescence markers in healthy and diseased gingival biopsies between individuals with and without type 2 diabetes, and to correlate senescence markers with levels of inflammatory mediators. The research will utilize techniques such as Luminex technology, QuantiGene Plex assays, immunohistochemistry, and latent class analysis to characterize the cellular and molecular mechanisms linking type 2 diabetes to periodontal disease pathogenesis. The project period runs from Jul 15, 2025 to Jul 14, 2027.
