The fellowship honors the late Professor William B. Clark and is designed to support investigators seeking advanced training in clinical research in periodontology. The program provides a unique opportunity for hands-on experience in an established laboratory, focusing on state-of-the-art methodologies in clinical periodontal research. Recipients are expected to develop a training plan (3 weeks to 3 months), potentially including a research project in oral health, and must submit a report detailing the benefits of the training upon completion.
