- This $515,926 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund research to develop an in vitro gingival (gum) tissue system to study the role of microbial communities on oral health and disease. The 5-year project, beginning June 1, 2024, will be conducted by the University of Massachusetts Lowell's Office of Research Administration-Lowell. The key objectives are: (1) developing and validating a microphysiological system to study oral...
- The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $198,000 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to conduct research on integrating population-wide oral microbiome data to better understand health differences in the United States. The project, which will run from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027, aims to disentangle how an individual's background and socioeconomic factors...
- This federal Project Grant award of $433,125.00, provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), supports research to elucidate the role of sex hormones in influencing host-microbiome interactions in the human oral mucosa. The award will fund a 5-year project from August 1, 2025 to April 30, 2030, conducted by the University of Massachusetts Lowell. The research aims to develop a mechanistic...
- This $442,750 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 a research project titled "A Pathomimetic Gingiva-on-a-Chip for Assessing Microbiota-Directed Anti-Inflammatory Therapeutics" at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University. The project aims to identify metabolites that can selectively enhance beneficial oral...
- The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $432,209 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) program to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) for a 2-year period starting on August 1, 2023. The funding supports research to investigate the role of the CXCL10-CXCR3 axis in the compounding effects of diabetes mellitus on periodontitis. Specifically, the research aims to further elucidate the role of CXCL10 in the...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), supports a research project focused on investigating the biogenesis and localization of gingipains - critical virulence factors of the oral pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis. The $358,823 grant, awarded to Loma Linda University, aims to expand the understanding of gingipains' hemagglutinating/adhesive properties and the...
- The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.121), awarded a $273,009 Project Grant to Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) to characterize a conserved streptococcal membrane protein affecting manganese utilization.
