The average score is used to prioritize applications for the funding decision. Students accepted into the Program are asked to spend as much time as necessary to complete their research project. This includes analyzing the data and preparing a brief overview for presentation at the annual Research Day and an abstract for presentation at the annual American or International Association for Dental Research meeting. A grant application has been submitted to AADS to expand these resources. Research experience is gained from preparing a proposal, reviewing the appropriate literature, designing an experiment, collecting and analyzing data, and presenting results and conclusions.
Emphasis is placed on studies that expose students to a variety of research methodologies.
