Opportunity Summary:
The Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Institutional Training for a Dental and Craniofacial Research Workforce (T32) is a National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) training grant program intended to strengthen the national pipeline of well-prepared researchers in dental, oral, and craniofacial science. The core aim is to support institutions that can provide rigorous, full-time research training for both predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees, helping ensure the United States has a diverse, highly trained workforce capable of tackling the country s oral and craniofacial health needs. The opportunity is framed around building a cadre of independent scientists who can address basic, behavioral, and clinical research questions that ultimately improve oral, dental, and craniofacial health outcomes.
This grant uses the NRSA T32 institutional training mechanism, meaning funds are awarded to institutions (not directly to individual trainees) to develop and run structured research training programs. Trainees supported under the program are expected to engage in full-time research training, reflecting the emphasis on immersive, sustained preparation for research careers rather than part-time or incidental research exposure. While the program broadly supports predoctoral and postdoctoral research training, NIDCR highlights a particular workforce need: dentist-scientists. As a result, priority is given to training programs that can demonstrate strong plans and evidence that they will train dentist-scientists, including predoctoral dual-degree dentist-scientists, dentists pursuing PhD training, or dentists undertaking a postdoctoral research experience. In practice, this means applicants are expected to show that their proposed training environment, mentorship, and trainee recruitment strategies are well suited to producing clinicians who can also function as productive, independent researchers.
The funding opportunity is discretionary and categorized under health-related activities, with the associated CFDA number listed as 93.121 (Oral Diseases and Disorders Research). It does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which reduces barriers for institutions that can otherwise meet the programmatic and scientific requirements. The award ceiling is listed as 800,000, signaling the program can support substantial institutional training capacity depending on the structure and scope of the proposed program.
Eligible applicants include a range of accredited higher education institutions, including private institutions of higher education as well as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. The eligibility language also explicitly includes several categories of institutions that serve populations historically underrepresented in biomedical research and higher education, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and other eligible organizations as clarified in the full announcement. This aligns with the broader program goal of fostering a diverse research workforce by encouraging applications from institutions positioned to recruit and support trainees from varied backgrounds.
A key administrative point in the announcement is that NIDCR issued a companion funding opportunity using a different mechanism (T90/R90, PAR-10-170). Institutions that want to incorporate an education component specifically aimed at providing postdoctoral training to foreign-trained dentists who do not meet NRSA eligibility requirements are directed to use the companion T90/R90 announcement instead. Importantly, an institution may not submit applications in response to both announcements, so applicants must choose the mechanism that best fits their intended trainee population and program design.
The opportunity was posted and created on April 16, 2010, with an original and current closing date of January 7, 2013, and an archive date of February 7, 2013, indicating it is no longer open in this specific form. The administering agency is the National Institutes of Health (NIH), through NIDCR, and the full announcement was made available through the NIH grants guide. Contact information in the listing points to the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster for technical difficulties accessing or linking to the announcement.

Are awards made to individuals or institutions?
Awards are made to institutions. The T32 mechanism is designed for institutions to create and administer organized research training programs; trainees are supported through the institutional program rather than applying for the grant directly.
What research areas does this program aim to advance?
The program is framed around preparing researchers to address basic, behavioral, and clinical research questions related to oral, dental, and craniofacial health.
What is the CFDA number associated with this opportunity?
The CFDA number listed for this opportunity is 93.121 (Oral Diseases and Disorders Research).
Is cost sharing or matching required?
No. The listing states that cost sharing or matching is not required.
