This Project Grant award, totaling $297,000.00, was provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.121). The primary objective of this 2-year award, effective from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2027, is to investigate the role of the H1C gene and its encoded H1.2 protein in regulating tooth root development and formation. The research aims to: 1) Conduct in vitro studies to understand how the H1C gene and its regulation by the NFIC "root master gene" impact signaling pathways critical for tooth root formation and elongation; and 2) Correlate the dental phenotypes of Short Root Anomaly (SRA) patients with their genotypes to identify additional genes associated with this condition. The award was granted to the University of Alabama at Birmingham, a prominent public research university with extensive expertise in biomedical research and federal grant funding.
