Purpose: The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) is continuing support for research conducted within a dental Practice-Based Research Network (PBRN). The National Dental PBRN Administrative and Resource Center and National Coordinating Center support the infrastructure for and implementation of multiple observational studies and clinical trials. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is soliciting applications for clinical trials and large clinical observational studies to be conducted in the National Dental PBRN through a milestone-driven UG3/UH3 cooperative agreement mechanism. Each UG3/UH3 award will support an individual project which will utilize the National Dental PBRN infrastructure and resources for study planning and implementation. This FOA supports a UG3 clinical study planning phase and potential transition to a UH3 implementation phase. Progression to the UH3 phase is based on an administrative review and is dependent on success in meeting UG3 milestones, consideration of the dental PBRN as an appropriate venue for conduct of the research, NIDCR program priorities, and availability of funds.
The main goals of the dental PBRN are to streamline the implementation of national oral health research studies in dental practices on topics of importance to practitioners and their patients, to provide evidence useful in daily patient care, and to facilitate the translation of research findings into clinical practice. This FOA encourages applications proposing research studies that align with the goals of the dental PBRN.
Award: The UG3 phase is limited to a total of $275,000 in direct costs over the entire UG3 phase. Application budgets for the UH3 phase are not limited but need to reflect the actual needs of the proposed project.

Purpose: The purpose of the NIDCR Dentist Scientist Administrative Supplement Program is to enhance the research careers of dentist-scientists who can contribute vital clinical perspectives to dental, oral and craniofacial research projects, and to build and sustain a dentist-scientist research workforce dedicated to improving dental, oral and craniofacial health. The program will provide supplemental funds to active NIDCR research grants to support mentored research experiences for outstanding early career dentist-scientists who have recently completed dental specialty or residency training. The program is intended to accelerate the candidate’s transition from primarily clinical activities to predominantly research activities by providing protected time to develop or update research skills, formulate a research career plan, generate preliminary data and seek independent funding. Dentist scientist candidates for this program are expected to contribute substantially to on-going research by conducting well-defined projects that are within scope of the goals and objectives of the parent grant. The candidate’s research experience is expected to be guided by an experienced investigator(s) and provide a foundation for the candidate’s future research independence. Mentors are expected to work with candidates to develop research experience plans that include the preparation of an independent grant application for NIDCR support and are anticipated to enhance the candidate’s successful competition for independent research support. An initial request for one year of supplement support will be allowed, with the expectation that the candidate will make research progress and begin preparation of a grant application. An application for a second consecutive year of supplement support will be considered if progress in the initial year is demonstrated, and the need for an additional year of support to achieve the proposed career development goals and submission of an application for an independent support is strongly justified.
Award: The NIDCR will provide support for the candidate’s annual salary, in accordance with the salary structure of the grantee institution, and consistent with the level of effort, up to $100,000 per year plus allowable fringe benefits. The total salary requested for the candidate must be established on the base salary of a full-time, 12-month staff appointment. The supplement budget may request up to $25,000 per year for additional research-related costs such as laboratory supplies and core services, as well as costs for the candidate’s travel to a scientific conference. The duration of an initial supplement request must be one year. The parent award must have at least one year, or two or more years remaining on the project period at the time of supplement award. Two or more years would allow a potential second supplement application.

This phased award program will facilitate completion of graduate PhD or dual degree clinician scientist programs (F99) and progression to mentored postdoctoral positions in dental, oral and craniofacial research (K00). It is anticipated that successful completion of this phased award program will enable achievement of an independent research faculty position and subsequent NIDCR career development and research project awards. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) does not allow applicants to propose to lead an independent clinical trial, but does allow applicants to propose research experience in a clinical trial led by a sponsor or co-sponsor.
Award: For the F99 phase, award budgets are composed of stipends, tuition and fees, and institutional allowance, as described below. For the K00 phase, award budgets are composed of salaries and fringe benefits, research and career development support, and indirect costs, as described below.
