This $156,589 Project Grant award 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 purpose of the award is to leverage electronic health record (EHR) data to better identify adults likely to seek emergency department treatment for non-traumatic dental conditions, which disproportionately impact vulnerable populations. The grant supports three key research aims: 1) Using EHR...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $148,568 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to the Regents of the University of Michigan. The 18-month project aims to develop innovative biomarkers and a machine learning classifier to improve the characterization and monitoring of periodontal inflammation using quantitative ultrasound and image texture analysis techniques. Specifically, the research will investigate...
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 to develop a machine learning-based model that can accurately predict the presence of aggressive tissue phenotypes in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The $168,610 award, effective from April 2025 to March 2028, will be led by Dr. Yingci Liu at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. The...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $185,918.00 and issued by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), supports research under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121).
