Opportunity Summary:
The National Dental Practice Based Research Network Limited Competition (U19) funding opportunity (RFA-DE-12-002) is a National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), NIH initiative designed to create and support a single, unified National Dental Practice Based Research Network (NDPBRN). The overall intent is to strengthen the ability of dental practices across the country to participate in clinically relevant research, generating evidence that directly informs everyday patient care and helping move research findings into routine clinical practice more quickly. This is a limited competition announcement, meaning it is not open to the broader public; it specifically invites applications only from the regional practice based research networks that were already funded by NIDCR at the time of the announcement.
The award is structured as an NIH cooperative agreement using the U19 mechanism. In practical terms, this indicates substantial involvement and partnership from NIH/NIDCR staff during the life of the project, rather than a more hands-off relationship typical of some other grant mechanisms. The cooperative agreement is meant to support both the infrastructure needed to run a national practice-based research network and the execution of oral health research studies conducted in real-world dental practice settings. The studies supported under this network are expected to focus on questions and topics that matter to practicing dentists and dental teams, with an emphasis on producing actionable findings that can improve clinical decision-making and patient outcomes.
A central feature of the opportunity is the establishment of one national network led by a National Network Director. This director is responsible for bringing together and coordinating the infrastructure components needed for a functioning national network, which typically includes administrative coordination, study operations, data management capabilities, practitioner engagement, training and communication systems, and processes for developing, implementing, and disseminating research across participating practices. The long-term aim is to create a durable platform where multiple studies can be efficiently launched and completed, leveraging the reach and diversity of participating dental practices to produce results that are broadly applicable.
In terms of funding and scope, NIDCR anticipated making one award for up to seven years. The announcement indicates an intent to commit up to approximately $70 million in total costs over that period to support this single cooperative agreement, reflecting the scale of building and operating a national research network. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, in the health area, and is associated with CFDA 93.121 (Oral Diseases and Disorders Research). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Key administrative details include a posted date of November 12, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 3, 2011, and an archive date of June 3, 2011. Eligibility is limited to the incumbent NIDCR-funded regional practice based research networks, as described in the announcement. The full funding announcement was provided through the NIH grants guide, and technical issues accessing the announcement were directed to the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact.
