Description
The American Association of Endodontists Foundation’s Endowed Faculty Matching Grant helps U.S. and Canadian dental schools establish endowments for permanent academic or research positions in endodontics. Its purpose is to strengthen endodontic education by ensuring that endodontics is taught by endodontists and that the specialty remains highly visible and well represented within dental schools.
The program supports institutional fundraising for an endowed faculty position rather than a specific research project. Proposals must explain the position’s need and responsibilities, the fundraising campaign, and how the Foundation’s assistance would contribute to campaign success. Support is tied to fundraising progress, with grant payment made after the institution completes agreed-upon fundraising goals.
