Description
The IADR Colgate Research in Prevention Travel Awards are administered by the International Association for Dental, Oral, and Craniofacial Research and sponsored by Colgate-Palmolive Company. They encourage new investigators to undertake oral disease-prevention research and share their findings with the international dental and oral health research community. The awards support attendance at the General Session & Exhibition, held June 23–26, 2027, in Melbourne, Australia.
Eligible research includes prevention of caries, gingivitis, periodontitis, xerostomia, oral cancer, and other oral diseases or conditions. Research on preventing systemic disease is also considered where oral disease is a significant potential contributory factor. Beyond preventive agents, the program considers preventive programs, demonstration projects, and community programs with measured, reported outcomes and clearly articulated disease-prevention benefits.
