NIDCR News 2017

NIH has issued four awards totaling approximately $1 million each per year to support outstanding researchers in their pursuit of high-risk, high-reward projects with the possibility to profoundly enhance our understanding of dental, oral, and craniofacial diseases and conditions.

NIDCR’s Sustaining Outstanding Achievement in Research (SOAR) awards support ambitious, long-term research programs that have extraordinary potential.

Every weekday morning for the past year, dental students Jason Berglund and John Le depart their dorm-like residence on the NIH campus, walk 5 minutes to their respective labs in NIDCR’s Building 30, and dive into the day’s tasks.
