Ms Marie Jones, admin@odrt.org.uk by 20th March 2020.

You will receive e-mail confirmation that your application has been safely received.  If you do not receive confirmation, please assume your submission has not arrived and contact us.  Safe receipt of applications is the responsibility of the applicant and, should you be unable to demonstrate an acknowledgement, ODRT will not accept that a submission has been made.

The OHI PreViser Awards are designed to provide support for patient-orientated rather than basic research, and research that focuses on prevention in the broadest context. It is not designed to provide “top up” funding for existing projects, but to encourage new and innovative projects that have patients at their core.

The Oral and Dental Research Trust is now an NIHR non-commercial Partner and as such studies funded by this scheme are eligible for consideration for inclusion onto the NIHR Portfolio.

The results of this award round will be announced during the annual meeting of the BSODR.

This programme is supported by a generous donation from Oral Health Innovations Ltd.
