This $163,411 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), supports research to understand the relationship between Streptococcus mutans, a primary driver of dental caries, and other oral commensal bacteria. The key objectives are to: 1) explicate nutritional niches between health- and disease-associated oral bacteria, 2) exploit these niches to alter microbial ecology through...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under CFDA program 93.121 Oral Diseases and Disorders Research, provides $409,403 to Branchpoint Biosciences Inc. for the development of a comprehensive qPCR-based oral microbiome profiling platform. The objectives are to: (1) determine key oral microbial targets by analyzing public metagenomic data, and (2) design and validate qPCR assays to accurately detect and quantify those targets....
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $185,918 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to Brigham & Women's Hospital Inc. in Boston, Massachusetts. The grant, effective from February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2027, will evaluate the impact of Medicaid coverage for treatment of periodontal disease on oral health outcomes, emergency department use, healthcare costs, and complications of diabetes among Medicaid...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $5,700,915 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) program to the Regents of the University of Michigan. The grant, awarded on Sep 12, 2024 with a completion date of Jun 30, 2029, will fund the development of a new class of anticaries therapy that leverages species-specific susceptibilities to fluoride. The goal is to revert cariogenic biofilm dysbiosis and eliminate early childhood...
This federal Project Grant award of $999,776.00, awarded on Sep 13, 2024 by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), aims to advance oral health equity through integrated research approaches. The goal is to strengthen the scientific basis for innovations in population-level strategies to improve dental care access, utilization, and quality. The research will focus on historically underrepresented...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $2,805,385 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). The grant will fund research to define T cell-based mechanisms of oral mucosal immune-related adverse events (irAEs) from anti-PD-1 cancer immunotherapy, with the goal of identifying predictive markers and strategies to mitigate these toxicities. OHSU will collaborate with...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $441,500 Project Grant (CFDA 93.121 Oral Diseases and Disorders Research) to the University of Colorado-Denver to develop uniquely high conversion and mechanically robust composite restorative materials for improved dental applications.
