Description
The American Association for Dental, Oral, and Craniofacial Research (AADOCR) administers this travel award to encourage new investigators to undertake clinical research and present their work to the U.S. and international research community. Supported by an annual donation from Dr. Marcelo W.B. Araujo, Dean of the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine, the award funds travel to the AADOCR Annual Meeting & Exhibition rather than the research itself.
The program covers clinical research across dental, oral, and craniofacial fields using the NIH definition of clinical research. Eligible work includes patient-oriented research, epidemiologic and behavioral studies, outcomes research, and health services research. Patient-oriented work can address mechanisms of human disease, therapeutic interventions, clinical trials, or development of new technologies.
