Dental Primary Care Practice-Based Research Network: Administrative and Resource Center

The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to promote practice-based research through a Dental Primary Care Practice-Based Research Network (PBRN). This NOFO will invite applications for an Administrative and Resource Center (ARC), to support the infrastructure for the planning and implementation of multiple observational studies and clinical trials, together with a Coordinating Center. The ARC will be responsible for recruiting and retaining practitioners for network membership and study participation, managing a single IRB, ensuring that practitioners and office/clinic staff receive research and study-specific training, and coordinating study deployment across multiple U.S. geographic regions. Key aspects of the job include: • Recruiting and retaining practitioners for network membership and study participation • Managing a single IRB • Ensuring that practitioners and office/clinic staff receive research and study-specific training • Coordinating study deployment across multiple U.S. geographic regions • Supporting the infrastructure for the planning and implementation of multiple observational studies and clinical trials • Integrating oral health care into medical care (whole-person health)
