The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA) was awarded a $134,934 Project Grant from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121). This 5-year grant, effective February 1, 2025, will establish an undergraduate summer research program focused on developing dental research skills and exposing students to oral/dental research projects. The program aims to build a pipeline of dedicated dental students interested in academic research careers, helping to address the critical need for more dental faculty and clinician-scientists in the U.S. Key activities will include didactic and hands-on research experiences, networking opportunities, and structured evaluation to continuously improve the training program.
