Causal Hypotheses on the Oral-Systemic Health Impacts of Human Behaviors among People with Chronic Conditions
This upcoming NIDCR grant will fund research into how various factors influencing human behavior impact oral and overall health in people with chronic conditions, aiming to inform prevention and treatment strategies.
Funder: National Institutes of Health
Due Dates: July 5, 2029
Funding Amounts: Up to $500,000 per year (direct costs); project periods up to 5 years
Summary: Supports research on causal hypotheses linking human behaviors to oral-systemic health impacts in individuals with chronic conditions.
Description
This funding opportunity invites applications for innovative research that investigates the causal factors underlying human behaviors and their impacts on oral-systemic health, particularly among individuals with chronic conditions. The scope includes developing or refining causal hypotheses involving biological, biopsychosocial, congenital, environmental, interpersonal, neurological, psychological, or comorbidity factors that influence both behaviors and health outcomes. The program aims to enhance understanding of how such factors directly or indirectly affect oral and systemic health, with the ultimate goal of improving health, extending life, and reducing illness and disability.
