AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Other Eligible Applicants include the following:  Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions; Hispanic-serving Institutions; Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs); Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs) .
Description: Purpose: The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) will award T32 Institutional Training grants to eligible institutions that are committed to supporting predoctoral and postdoctoral research training as a means to help ensure that a diverse and highly trained workforce is available to address the Nations health related needs in dental, oral, and craniofacial research. This NIDCR program is designed in recognition of the need to develop a cadre of highly qualified independent scientists who can successfully address basic, behavioral, and clinical research questions to improve oral, dental and craniofacial health. Trainees are required to pursue full-time research training. Priority will be given to programs that present plans and evidence that they will train dentist scientists either as predoctoral dual degree dentist scientists, dentists receiving PhD training or dentists training in a postdoctoral research experience. Mechanism of Support: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will utilize the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Institutional Research Training Grants (T32). NOTE: NIDCR has also issued a companion T90/R90 Institutional Training Program Funding Opportunity Announcement (PAR-10-170). Institutions who wish to offer an education component to provide postdoctoral training to foreign-trained dentists who do not meet NRSA eligibility requirements should apply using that announcement. An institution may not submit applications in response to both announcements.
