DESCRIPTION. State the application's broad,, long^arm objectives and specific aims, making reference to the health relatedness of the project. Describe concisely the research design and methods for achieving these goals. Avoid summaries of past accomplishments and the use of the first person. This description is meant to serve as a succinct and accurate description of the proposed work when separated from the application. If the application is funded, this description, as is, will become public information. Therefore, do not include proprietary/confidential information. DO NOT EXCEEDTHE SPACEPROVIDED. This proposal is in response to PAR-00-116 from NIDCR and is a competing renewal application for T32 grant, DE07294. This program will provide short-term and long-term training opportunities. At the predoctoral level, support will be provided for up to three students who wish to pursue a combined D.D.S./Ph.D. program. Training will also be provided for students from disciplines such as biological sciences, chemistry, computer science, engineering, pharmacy, physics, and health psychology who wish to pursue an interdisciplinary Ph.D. in cooperation with Oral Biology. In addition, our successful ongoing summer research fellowship program for dental students will continue and be integrated into the overall training program. At the post-graduate level, between eight and ten dentists and/or physicians will obtain an interdisciplinary Ph.D. with Oral Biology as the coordinating discipline. The three primary research areas in Oral Biology will be bone molecular biology, dental clinical research, and dental biomaterials, including biomechanics and bioinformatics. Additional long-term training at the post-doctoral level will include the training of up to three current academicians/researchers from disciplines such as computer science, engineering, biological science, and health psychology who wish to gain exposure to biomedical research, so they can apply their research expertise to dental, oral, and craniofacial problems. Short-term post-doctoral training will include opportunities for current junior and mid-career dental faculty to be trained for three months or less in the conduct of dental clinical research and interdisciplinary research. One or two faculty/researchers from computer science, or other basic science disciplines will be trained on a short-term basis in the application of their research expertise to a biomedical research problem. In all of the training opportunities, inderdisciplinarity will be emphasized and all training levels will interact and work together in order to nurture each other's growth and education. This broad based, comprehensive research training program will produce a group of investigators who possess a set of diverse competencies and who can effectively interact in cross-disciplinary research teams to investigate the many expanding research problems in dental, craniofacial, and oral health research.
