Opportunity Summary:
The Dental School Joint DDS or DMD/Masters Degree NRSA Research Training Program (T32) is a discretionary NIH grant opportunity designed to support structured research training within U.S. dental schools. It uses the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) institutional training mechanism (T32), which is typically aimed at building a formal, mentored training environment rather than funding a single research project. In this case, the focus is on dental school programs that integrate a professional dental degree (DDS or DMD) with a masters-level research degree, with the broader goal of developing dentist-scientists by giving trainees sustained, organized research exposure and mentorship during their professional education.
The opportunity is administered by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under CFDA 93.121, Oral Diseases and Disorders Research, and it falls under the Health funding activity category. The funding instrument is a grant, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide a defined non-federal financial contribution as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is limited to U.S.-based dental schools that are public or private non-profit institutions. Foreign institutions are explicitly not eligible to apply. The listing indicates that additional eligibility clarification may exist in the full announcement, but the central eligible applicant type is U.S. dental schools operating in a public or non-profit private setting.
Funding levels are presented in a way that reflects how NIH training grants are often awarded. The estimated total funding available is listed as $1,500,000, and the award ceiling is $250,000. Rather than promising a fixed number of awards, NIH states that the total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend on the number of applications received and, importantly, their quality, proposed duration, and budgeted costs. The same idea is repeated for the anticipated number of awards: because training plans can vary widely from one institution to another, NIH expects that both the size and length of awards may differ across recipients. In practical terms, this means applicants should not assume a standard award size or a guaranteed competition outcome; the final award slate is shaped by peer review outcomes and the overall pool of submitted applications.
Administratively, the opportunity was originally posted on March 16, 2007, with a creation date of December 10, 2008, and it carried multiple receipt dates rather than a single deadline (applicants are directed to the full announcement for the exact schedule). The archive date is October 26, 2009, which signals that this specific announcement is no longer active in its original form, though similar NIH training mechanisms may be reissued under newer FOAs. The full announcement was hosted through the NIH Grants Guide at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-07-332.html, and the contact information provided is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster emails for access or linking issues (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV).
