Description
This funding opportunity supports investigator-initiated prospective observational studies or biomarker validation studies that involve the collection or continued analysis of data or biospecimens. Administered by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), the program aims to advance research in oral, dental, and craniofacial health by providing cooperative agreements (U01 mechanism) for studies that do not include clinical trials. Projects should focus on generating new knowledge through well-designed observational approaches or validating biomarkers relevant to oral and craniofacial diseases and disorders.
