Pathophysiology of Bisphosphonates-associated Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (R03)

archived

-The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) invite Small Research Grant (R03) applications for research projects focusing on basic and translational studies of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ), an oral complication associated with bisphosphonate use. Projects should aim to identify and characterize the pathophysiological mechanisms that lead to impaired bone healing and the development of ONJ. -This FOA will use the NIH Small Research Grant (R03) award mechanism and runs in parallel with two FOAs of identical scientific scope, PA-06-500 that solicits applications under the NIH Individual Research Project Grant (R01) mechanism, and PA-06-501 that solicits applications under the NIH Exploratory/Developmental Grant (R21) mechanism. -This R03 is intended to support pilot and developmental research that is likely to lead to a subsequent Individual Research Project Grant (R01) application from scientists who are in the early stages of establishing an independent research career. The R03 is not renewable.
