Research prize

Research prize in Special Care Dentistry, sponsored by the British Society for Disability and Oral Health.

 

The British Society for Disability and Oral Health is sponsoring a small grant research competition worth up to £10,000. The grant must be used to support research within the area of special care dentistry, particularly projects which benefit special care dentistry in community settings.

· The grant may be used to support consumable costs of new projects (including some limited staff costs).

· The focus of this call is on early career researchers and clinicians. It is possible however for an early career researcher/clinician to make a co- application with an established researcher/clinician

· The grant must be used to support research to benefit special care dentistry, particularly projects based in community settings.
