The International Association for Dental, Oral, and Craniofacial Research (IADR) manages this award competition with support from Kenvue. It recognizes original research by new investigators in oral disease prevention or oral health promotion, particularly work with potential public health impact.
Ten finalists present their research to a judging committee at the IADR General Session & Exhibition and present it again to the wider meeting. The competition considers the originality and scientific merit of the research alongside the clarity of the presentation, responses to questions, and plans for next steps.
