The NIH Short Term Research Training Program and the Dows Student Research Awards support student research. The Dental Research Award Program enables highly qualified first-year students to conduct extended research throughout their four years of dental school. Scholarships , awarded each year to qualified entering dental students, provide financial support for as many as four years, as long as an appropriate level of performance is maintained. Dental Research Awards recognize academic excellence. Teaching Awards are determined on an individual basis.
Students have the opportunity to work with faculty on dental- related projects.
Applicants for these scholarships must have an on-campus interview. Contact the College of Dentistry Office of Student Affairs for further details. The organization promotes student research and helps students become better acquainted with current dental research. Students and faculty attend meetings to discuss research ideas, projects, and avenues of funding. The SRG elects officers who organize and host meetings and social functions.
