The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $304,998 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) program to KDH Research and Communication, Inc., a woman-owned small business. The grant funding will support the development of a web-based clearinghouse on oral health research and clinical trials (OHRCT) for both researchers and dental care providers. The goal is to increase participation in OHRCT by overcoming barriers faced by researchers, providers, and patients. The clearinghouse will provide educational resources, training, and facilitate collaboration between researchers and providers to engage patients, particularly from hard-to-reach populations, in OHRCT. This Phase I project will focus on obtaining stakeholder input, developing a prototype, and conducting usability testing of the clearinghouse prior to a Phase II evaluation of its effectiveness and impact.
