Program Description |
The NIDCR Dental Specialty and Ph.D. Program (DSPP), RFA-DE-23-001, supports institutional research career development (K12) programs that propose to develop outstanding clinician scientists (K12 “Scholars”) through an integrated program of advanced clinical training in a recognized dental specialty and supervised research training leading to a Ph.D. in biomedical or behavioral science, or in another field applicable to dental, oral and craniofacial research. The combined program is expected to accelerate the process of early career dentist scientists in achieving competencies in both clinical and research areas and facilitate the transition to an independent and productive research career dedicated to improving dental, oral and craniofacial health. See Current NIDCR Institutional K12 NIDCR Dental Specialty and PhD Programs (DSPP) for the contact information of the DSPP program and a brief description of the dental specialty and research training opportunities offered by each K12 DSPP. Dentists interested in a program should contact the program director or other designated individual at the institution(s) to inquire about available opportunities. |
