“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)

NIH Grant Funding Opportunities

We invite you to view a list of the latest National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunities for scientists interested in advancing TMJ research.

Table of Opportunities

Planning for the TMD Collaborative for IMproving PAtient-Centered Translational Research (TMD IMPACT) (R34 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites Planning Grant applications that conceptualize the design and implementation of a future national, interdisciplinary, patient-centered research collaborative that will advance Temporomandibular Disorders (TMDs) basic and clinical research, research training, and translation to evidence-based treatments and improved clinical care. The planning grants are intended to enable institutions to develop partnerships, infrastructure, and capabilities needed to address the major goals of a future Collaborative and develop a Collaborative-wide research framework and strategies to support coordination among studies, research projects, and sites, and thereby enhance competitiveness for future participation in TMD Collaborative for Improving Patient-Centered Translational Research (TMD IMPACT).

The planning grant will not be a prerequisite for submission of a TMD IMPACT application.
