Opportunity Summary:
The Institutional Training for a Dental and Craniofacial Research Workforce (T90/R90) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-10-170) is a National Institutes of Health program run by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) that supports institutions in building strong, full-time research training pathways for future leaders in dental, oral, and craniofacial science. The main goal is workforce development: NIDCR is looking to help create and sustain a diverse, highly trained pipeline of researchers who can tackle basic, behavioral, and clinical research problems that ultimately improve oral and craniofacial health. The program is designed around the idea that the field needs more independent scientists with deep research skills and strong mentorship, especially dentist-scientists who can bridge clinical perspectives with rigorous research methods.
A core feature of this program is that it funds organized institutional training rather than individual fellowships. The trainees supported under the program are expected to be in full-time research training, and the strongest applications are those that show clear plans, track record, and institutional commitment to producing dentist-scientists. NIDCR places particular emphasis on programs that train dentist-scientists through one of several priority pathways: predoctoral dual-degree training (for example, integrated dentist-scientist tracks), dentists pursuing PhD training, or dentists receiving intensive postdoctoral research training. In practice, this means applicants need to demonstrate not just that trainees will do research, but that the institution has the structure, mentoring, and training environment to move trainees toward productive research careers and eventual independence.
The funding mechanism is a linked, two-part structure called T90/R90. Applicants submit one unified application, but if funded, NIH issues two separate awards tied to different authorities and eligibility rules. The T90 portion is the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) institutional training component and can support predoctoral and/or postdoctoral training slots under NRSA rules. The R90 portion is a related research education component that specifically allows an institutional postdoctoral research training experience for dentists who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents and therefore do not meet NRSA eligibility requirements. This design is meant to let institutions run an integrated program that can include both NRSA-eligible trainees and non-NRSA-eligible dentist trainees, while maintaining clear accounting and compliance with each component's requirements.
An important constraint is that institutions must choose the correct announcement based on whether they intend to include the non-NRSA education component for foreign-trained or non-citizen dentists. NIDCR issued a companion T32 institutional training announcement (PAR-10-171) for institutions that do not want to offer that R90 education component. The rules explicitly state that an institution may not submit applications in response to both announcements, so applicants need to decide up front whether their program design requires the combined T90/R90 approach or the T32-only approach.
In terms of basic administrative details, this is a discretionary grant opportunity in the health category, associated with CFDA 93.121 (Oral Diseases and Disorders Research). Cost sharing or matching is not required. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, with additional eligibility that explicitly includes several types of institutions that serve underrepresented or historically underserved communities, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), and Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions. The listing shows an award ceiling of $800,000. The opportunity was posted April 16, 2010, and the original and current closing date listed is January 7, 2013, with an archive date of February 7, 2013, meaning the announcement is no longer active but remains useful as a reference model for how NIDCR structures institutional training programs.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as NIDCR funding for institutions that can credibly run a cohesive, mentored, full-time research training program aimed at producing the next generation of independent dental and craniofacial researchers, with special priority placed on dentist-scientist development and the ability to include both NRSA-eligible trainees and non-citizen dentist trainees through the linked T90 and R90 components.

What training pathways are prioritized by NIDCR?
NIDCR places particular emphasis on programs that train dentist-scientists through priority pathways such as: (1) predoctoral dual-degree training (for example, integrated dentist-scientist tracks), (2) dentists pursuing PhD training, and (3) dentists receiving intensive postdoctoral research training.
What is the T90/R90 mechanism?
T90/R90 is a linked, two-part structure. Applicants submit one unified application, but if funded, NIH issues two separate awards that are tied to different authorities and eligibility rules.
What is the T90 component?
The T90 portion is the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) institutional training component. It can support predoctoral and/or postdoctoral training slots under NRSA rules.
What is the R90 component?
The R90 portion is a related research education component that allows an institutional postdoctoral research training experience for dentists who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents and therefore do not meet NRSA eligibility requirements.
Why does the program include both T90 and R90 components?
The linked design allows institutions to operate one integrated training program that can include both NRSA-eligible trainees and non-NRSA-eligible dentist trainees, while keeping accounting and compliance aligned with each component's requirements.
