The award described in this announcement is designed to provide training opportunities in dental, oral and craniofacial research by supporting integrated but flexible institutional programs. The awards are comprehensive training grants to fund pre-doctoral, post-doctoral and short-term trainees
The T32 mechanism will be used.
