Applicants have until Dec. 14 to submit their proposals.
Dental professionals on the leading edge of evidence-based dentistry who are interested in research grant funding can now submit an application for the Osseointegration Foundation’s (OF) 2019-2020 Research Grants program.
Funded by OF, the philanthropic arm of AO, two research grants will be awarded this year. The AO/OF Research Grant Committee will review all applications and award $30,000 to the best proposals in the following categories:
- Basic science: Research to advance implant knowledge that doesn't include human subjects.
- Applied science: Research to advance clinical implant dentistry that does include human subjects.
To qualify, research grant applications must be submitted by an AO member, faculty member, or student who conducts research in any academic dental institution (with at least one person on the research team an AO member). Applications that address areas of research to enhance public acceptance of implants are welcome and encouraged.
