Summary

The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH/HHS), is forecasting a cooperative agreement to support a prospective observational study or biomarker validation study in the dental, oral, or craniofacial research domain. As a cooperative agreement, NIH program staff will have substantial involvement in the project alongside the recipient. The opportunity is currently in a forecasted status with an anticipated open date of July 8, 2025, and full details are pending publication.

What they want
