The AADOCR Travel Award for New Clinical Investigators aims to encourage early-career researchers in the dental, oral, and craniofacial (DOC) fields to present their clinical research at the AADOCR Annual Meeting. Supported by Dr. Marcelo W.B. Araujo, the award provides travel funding to facilitate engagement with the U.S. and international DOC research communities. Recipients are selected based on the quality and relevance of their submitted clinical research abstracts, which must meet the NIH definition of clinical research and be accepted for presentation at the meeting. The program is designed to foster professional growth, networking, and the dissemination of innovative clinical findings among new investigators.
