NIDCR Individual NRSA Predoctoral Dental Scientist Fellowship (F30) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The NIDCR Individual NRSA Predoctoral Dental Scientist Fellowship (F30), identified as PAR 08-119, is a discretionary NIH grant opportunity designed to support predoctoral trainees pursuing a dual-degree pathway in dentistry and research. Run by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) program, this fellowship focuses on building a pipeline of dentist-scientists by funding an integrated training experience that combines professional dental education with rigorous PhD-level research training. The intended outcome is completion of both a DDS or DMD and a PhD (or equivalent research doctorate), with the fellow developing the skills needed to conduct high-quality, independent research in areas relevant to oral, dental, and craniofacial health.

This opportunity uses the F30 fellowship mechanism, which is specifically meant for individuals in combined professional/doctoral research training programs. In practical terms, the award is meant to provide support across both components of the trainee's program: the dental school portion and the predoctoral PhD research portion. NIDCR indicated an intention to make up to five new fellowship awards per year, reflecting a relatively selective program aimed at applicants who demonstrate strong potential to become future leaders in dental and craniofacial research.

Eligible applicants include a broad range of higher-education institutions, including private institutions and public or state-controlled institutions of higher education. The eligibility language also explicitly includes several institution types often highlighted in federal programs: Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), and institutions in U.S. territories or possessions. While the fellowship is an individual award, it is submitted with an institutional sponsor, and the sponsoring institution must be able to provide the personnel, facilities, and on-site research environment needed for high-quality research training.

A core requirement of the application is identification of a sponsor (sometimes referred to as a mentor) who will supervise the fellow's training and research experience. This sponsor is central to the fellowship structure because the program is fundamentally a mentored training award: it supports the applicant not only financially, but also through an organized plan for research training, professional development, and progression through the dual-degree curriculum. The emphasis on an integrated program means the research and clinical training are expected to complement each other, positioning the fellow to bridge clinical dentistry and scientific discovery.

From an administrative standpoint, the funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category falls under health, with the CFDA listing tied to Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (93.121). The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching, which generally means applicants and institutions are not required to commit additional funds as a condition of receiving the award. Key dates shown in the source information include an original closing date of January 7, 2011, with a current closing date listed as June 11, 2009, and an archive date of June 12, 2009, indicating the announcement is historical rather than currently open in the form presented.

The full announcement was provided through the NIH grants guide, and NIH listed webmaster contacts for technical issues accessing the posting or linking to the opportunity.
