NIDCR Research Grants for Analyses of Existing Genomics Data (R01) (Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support meritorious research projects that address research questions relevant to human dental, oral, or craniofacial (DOC) biology, and diseases and conditions, through analysis of existing and publicly available genomic data. The proposed projects can use statistical and computational approaches, including methods for data and metadata mining, data integration, and Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML)/Deep Learning (DL) methods. Experimental or in silico work is required to validate the results of the proposed analysis, or to validate a newly developed analytic method. Some key points to consider: • The proposed projects should focus on understanding oral health disparities to inform strategies for improving health for all individuals. • Projects aimed at investigating and/or characterizing human biological pathways to inform identification of intervention targets or defining the pathogenicity of known genetic variants are encouraged. • The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the funding agency for this opportunity. • The application due date is May 07, 2026.
