NIDCR Invites Psychological Scientists to Submit Oral Health Research Ideas
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), one of the National Institutes of Health, invites psychological scientists to submit research ideas relating to the behavioral and social factors that impact oral health.
This new initiative is part of a program called NIDCR 2030, which aims to set priorities for dental, oral, and craniofacial (i.e., relating to the skull and face) research at the institute over the next 15 years. NIDCR notes that submitted ideas will help plan future workshops and identify themes for potential funding opportunities.
Psychological scientists who wish to submit an idea should do so by May 19, 2017. Researchers and others can vote on the ideas that are submitted, too; voting closes on June 2, 2017.
NIDCR has supported psychological scientists’ research efforts in a variety of ways, including through the annual NIDCR “Building Bridges” APS Convention Travel Award, available to researchers who connect psychological science to issues in oral health. APS Members may also be interested to know that NIDCR has a Behavioral and Social Sciences Research Program, which funds basic and applied research to understand how to improve oral health by targeting behavioral and social factors.
