Back to topPurpose
The purpose of the Collaborative Science to Achieve Disruptive Innovations in Dental, Oral, and Craniofacial (DOC) Research is to support highly integrated research teams to address challenging questions with the potential to significantly advance dental, oral, and craniofacial (DOC) fields of research. Each project should have a unified and well-defined scientific goal within the NIDCR mission that requires a team with diverse perspectives and expertise in a variety of intellectual or technical areas and is beyond the experience and capabilities of one or two investigators. Teams are encouraged to consider transformative, and disruptive innovative objectives with defined 5-year outcomes.
Back to topProgram Objectives and Scope
The goal of this funding opportunity is to support transdisciplinary research that solves important problems related to DOC fields. The funding opportunity is designed to support highly integrated research teams of three to six program directors / principal investigators (PDs/PIs) to address ambitious and challenging research questions of high priority to NIDCR. This funding opportunity aims to support a team of experts, with well-defined roles, that seek to cross technical and conceptual boundaries through transdisciplinary collaboration to achieve a common goal. The research goal should be clear, cohesive, and sufficiently focused so that meaningful and measurable outcomes or deliverables can be achieved.
For the purposes of this Program, the research topics which are considered high priority to NIDCR may vary in each notice of funding opportunity.
