NIDCR Seeks Public Input on Proposed Research Concept

The initiative is listed below. To read the full description and provide input, go to: NIDCR Requests Input on January 2024 Proposed Research Initiative.

The Concept Clearance Process
NIDCR supports research in significant as well as understudied areas of science, identifying broad research topic areas or themes that are developed into concepts. These concepts represent the early planning stages of research initiatives. Proposed research initiatives communicate future research goals to the National Institutes of Health, the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Congress, and the public. NIDCR invites input about each concept’s merit from research and clinical practice communities, industry, interested organizations, and the public at large. Please note that this initiative is not a complete picture of the Institute’s planned research portfolio for the year, nor does it signal that themes highlighted during a previous year have been abandoned. This proposed initiative will be integrated into this larger landscape as it is considered for a future notice of funding opportunity (NOFO).
Comments are due by March 8, 2024.
