This $249,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.121) will fund research to elucidate the mechanism of action and impact of radical-S-adenosylmethionine ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RAS-RIPPs) produced by oral Streptococcus bacteria on the human oral microbiome. The primary goals are to define the mechanism of action of...
The federal Project Grant award R21DE033800, totaling $889,616.00, was provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121). The award supports research to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which specific RNAs and proteins enriched in neural crest cell (NCC) projections promote NCC migration. The research aims to test hypotheses that specific mRNAs are enriched in NCC protrusions and...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), part of the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), provides $493,458 to support research on the role of ARID1 proteins in regulating the development and differentiation of cranial neural crest cells. The 5-year award, effective from June 16, 2025 to March 31, 2030, will be conducted by the Childrens Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. The research aims to...
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), provides $646,212 to support research on the role of primary cilia and C2CD3 in craniofacial skeletogenesis. The research aims to determine how mutations in the C2CD3 gene, which cause the human ciliopathy Oral-Facial-Digital Syndrome 14 (OFD14), impact skeletal differentiation, the association between the centriole and actin...
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 fund research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to investigate the roles of the H3K4 methyltransferases KMT2C and KMT2D in chondrocyte differentiation and endochondral ossification. The $130,122 award, granted on January 1, 2025, aims to ascertain the functional roles of these epigenetic modifiers in...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) program, provides $658,750 to the University of Kansas Medical Center Research Institute, Inc. to explore the physiological role of arginine phosphorylation in the dental pathogen Streptococcus mutans and identify the kinase enzyme responsible for this novel post-translational modification. The research aims to advance understanding of...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $600,029 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. The grant, which runs from March 10, 2025 to February 28, 2030, supports research to elucidate the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which Ras/MAPK signaling dysregulation causes abnormal enamel formation and craniofacial development. The research aims to determine how Ras signaling disruption...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $608,632.33 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (RF SUNY). The award, effective September 1, 2024, supports a research project investigating the role of rare chemosensory epithelial cells known as "tuft cells" in salivary gland immunity. The project aims to utilize advanced microscopic techniques,...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) federal grant program, provides $135,000 to fund the ADA Forsyth Student Scholars (FSS) summer internship program in oral health research. The program aims to increase readiness for college, professional school, and the oral health workforce among high school students from underrepresented and educationally disadvantaged communities. Key...
This Project Grant award, valued at $582,000.00, was provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) federal grant program. The award will fund research at the University of Rochester to investigate the epigenetic mechanisms underlying peri-implantitis, a common complication associated with dental titanium implants. Specifically, the research aims to understand how inflammatory and oxidative stress...

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 support research to comprehensively define the RSK-Interacting Motif (RIM) sequence and screen the human proteome for functional RSK2-interacting sequences. The total award amount is $461,375, with a project period from Jul 1, 2025 to Jun 30, 2027. The research will be conducted by Yale University and aims to investigate how the RSK2 kinase selectively targets a unique substrate pool, which is relevant to understanding Coffin-Lowry syndrome, an X-linked genetic disorder. The findings may reveal that related protein kinases utilize analogous interaction pockets for substrate docking, providing a basis for future studies to better understand their function.
