Request for pilot & feasibility project applications
The UAB Global Center for Craniofacial Oral and Dental Disorders (GC‐CODED) is pleased to announce the availability of three pilot and feasibility grants for up to $45,000 each. Strong preference will be given to proposals addressing genetic disorders of the dentition and craniofacial region, oral cancer, oral microbiome and systemic health with the goal of future extramural funding from the National Institute of Health/National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIH/NIDCR), or other external funding agencies.
For eligibility and research-related questions, contact Dr. Amjad Javed (
GC-CODED Research Core Vouchers
This Target Research Program provides direct research support to GC-CODED investigators to offset expense(s) for core facility services for dental-related research. It is expected that the award will either augment a currently funded application or help provide critical preliminary data for an extramural application. Applicants may apply for up to $2000 in direct research support. Allowable expenses include payments to any UAB institutional core facility. Other expenses are not allowed. Any work supported by this program requires appropriate regulatory approvals as applicable.
Applicants should provide a one-page outline of the project, how the use of the core facility will help advance the project, what will be enabled by the investment (e.g., manuscript, grant application, additional aims), and a budget with justification including sample sizes and sample size justification.
For questions or submissions, contact Kelsey Hoggatt at
