The future of dental education and support for biomedical research requires investment in the selection and training of tomorrow s scientists, whether they are basic, translational or clinical researchers. One of the stated goals of the NIDCR to ensure that a diverse and highly trained workforce is available to address the Nation s health-related needs in dental, oral, and craniofacial research , and this grant addresses this need. This grant thus requests support to provide education and training for a select cadre of scholars seeking either a formal PhD degree education or post-doctoral training (both DDS and PhD graduates) with a major focus on dental, orofacial and craniofacial health-related disease processes.

Public Health Relevance

The goal of this grant application is to have the financial resources to provide education and training for a select cadre of scholars seeking either a formal PhD degree education or post-doctoral training (both DDS and PhD graduates) with a major focus on dental, orofacial and craniofacial health-related disease processes.
