Executive Summary

• The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) seeks new Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) applications for an Individual Predoctoral Dental Scientist Fellowship (PDSF).  The purpose of the PDSF is to offer an integrated dental and graduate research training program that leads to attainment of both the DDS/DMD and PhD (or equivalent) degrees.
• NIDCR intends to award up to five new fellowships per year.
• Awards made under this funding opportunity announcement will use the F30 Individual Predoctoral Dental Scientist Fellowship mechanism to provide combined dental school and predoctoral PhD support.
• By the time of award, individuals must be citizens or non-citizen nationals of the United States.
• The applicant must have a baccalaureate degree and show evidence of both high academic performance in the sciences and substantial interest in research in areas of high priority to the NIDCR.  The applicant must be enrolled in a DDS/DMD program at an accredited dental school, be accepted in a related scientific PhD (or an equivalent degree) program, and be supervised by a sponsor who is active and established in that scientific discipline when the application is submitted.
• The sponsor will directly supervise the training and research experience, and should currently be funded to conduct independent peer-reviewed research in the area of the candidate’s proposed research project.
• The typical applicant will apply during the first or second year of dental school.  However, an individual can apply and begin their PDSF at any point during their training.  Individuals currently enrolled in a joint DDS/DMD-PhD program are eligible for consideration as fellows and encouraged to apply.  Dental students who obtained a PhD prior to entering dental school and desire to pursue another research doctorate are not eligible.
• Fellows must remain in predoctoral status until both the DDS/DMD and the PhD are conferred.
• You may submit an application if your sponsoring institution is a public/state controlled or private institution of higher education: Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs),Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, U.S. Territory or Possession.
