NIDCR Summer Dental Student Award

To expose future dentists to careers in research, NIDCR offers an outstanding summer research training opportunity in its intramural research labs for dental students. This award is designed to give talented dental students hands-on research experience and exposure to the latest advances in oral health research. Summer Dental Student Awardees are assigned to mentors who conduct research in the students’ areas of interest. Participation in the program may result in presentation of research findings at a scientific meeting or co-authorship of scientific publications.
