Opportunity Summary:
The Institutional Training for a Dental, Oral and Craniofacial Research Workforce (T90/R90) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-15-101) is a National Institutes of Health grant program administered by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR). Its main purpose is to help U.S.-based institutions build or strengthen structured research training pipelines that prepare a diverse group of predoctoral and postdoctoral researchers to become independent scientists in areas tied to dental, oral, and craniofacial health. The program is meant to support training that aligns with the nation s needs in basic and clinical research, including biomedical, behavioral, and social sciences research that can ultimately improve understanding, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of oral and craniofacial conditions.
This funding mechanism combines two related components under one institutional program. The T90 portion supports institutional research training for both predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees, emphasizing mentored research experiences and a formal training environment. The R90 portion supports postdoctoral research education, which is typically more structured around curricular and educational activities that enhance a postdoc s scientific development and readiness for independence. In practical terms, the expectation is that a funded institution will offer an integrated program that blends coursework or didactic instruction, hands-on research training, and intentional career development. The overall design should help trainees build strong foundations in research methods, responsible conduct of research, grantsmanship, communication, and professional skills needed for long-term research careers.
A key theme of the announcement is workforce development. NIDCR is explicitly aiming to ensure that there is a highly qualified, well-prepared, and diverse community of researchers ready to tackle current and emerging problems in dental, oral, and craniofacial health. That means applicants are generally expected to think beyond simply placing trainees in labs and instead create a coherent, institution-wide training program with clear goals, training milestones, mentoring structures, and career development support. The endpoint NIDCR is pushing toward is trainees who can compete successfully for independent research positions and funding, and who will make meaningful contributions to national research priorities in this space.
The opportunity falls under the Health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 93.121, Oral Diseases and Disorders Research. It is a discretionary grant program and does not require cost sharing or matching. The award ceiling listed for this opportunity is 550,000, indicating the maximum anticipated annual or total amount allowed under the announcement as presented in the source data.
Eligibility is broad but constrained to domestic (U.S.) applicants, consistent with NIH policy for many institutional training programs. Eligible applicants include public and state controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including those with or without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), and a range of government entities such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and public or Indian housing authorities. The announcement also highlights eligibility for many mission-relevant institution types and community-based organizations, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), as well as faith-based or community-based organizations and eligible federal agencies. Tribal entities are included in multiple forms (federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations). At the same time, the program does not allow non-U.S. applicants: foreign organizations and foreign institutions are not eligible to apply, non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement are not allowed.
The timeline information in the source data shows the opportunity was posted and created on January 27, 2015, with an original and current closing date of September 25, 2017, and an archive date of October 26, 2017. In other words, this particular announcement is no longer open for applications, but it remains a useful reference for understanding NIDCR s approach to institutional research training and the kinds of program elements NIH expects in combined training and research education models.
