“Fresh ideas and multiple disciplines are needed to advance Temporomandibular Disorders (TMDs) research to improve patient care. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) provides approximately one third of all biomedical research funding in the United States and therefore, the interests and priorities of NIH Institutes and Centers can stimulate research interests and training programs throughout the country. TMDs are not the primary mission of any NIH Center or Institute.” (NAM report, Summary S-5)

Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Maternal Health and the Dental, Oral, and Craniofacial Development of their Children

The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) is issuing this Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) to encourage research on prenatal environmental and physical stressors experienced by women during pregnancy that affect their child’s dental, oral, and craniofacial (DOC) tissues through altered maternal physiology. The purpose of this NOSI is to support research elucidating the impact of maternal, environmental, nutritional, pharmaceutical, and/or infectious exposures upon the developing and formed oral and craniofacial complex.
