Within NIH, the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) on May 4th, posted the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) “Small Research Grants for Data Analysis-(PAR-09-182)”. The NIDCR supports a portfolio of clinical trials and large scale epidemiologic research projects where a number of data collection activities are done for each project. Since the data generated by these studies can provide valuable data, the grant recipient will gather data and develop statistical methods for analyzing oral health data using these existing database resources.
Any individual with the skills, knowledge, and resources needed to carry out the proposed research is eligible to work with their organization to develop an application.
Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, the award size will also vary. For more information, go to http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-09-182.html. The earliest date to submit application is May 16th with grant application submissions to go to http://www.grants.gov/.
