The purpose of this grant is to provide support for research in the behavioral, biologic, biomechanical or biomaterial aspects of dental implants.

Eligibility is restricted to AO members who are able to demonstrate they are capable of conducting research that meets the primary objective of this award. There is no age or citizenship requirement. The grant funds are to be used only for direct support of the proposed research such as technical assistance, supplies, purchasing and/or maintaining laboratory animals, purchase of relevant equipment and instruments, data analysis, preparation of manuscripts and travel to professional meetings related to the project. The deadline for submission is October 31, 2003. The recipient of this award will be notified by January 1, 2004, and will be required to submit a progress report on or before September 1, 2004.

 Charitable Grant Program
Each year the Osseointegration Foundation shall make available ten (10) grants of up to $4,000 for subsidizing the care of eligible individuals. Each grant will be issued upon completion of those portions of the case “when the intended function result is completed,” but prior to the required three-year follow-up. This grant does not restrict how or where these funds are to be allocated by the service provider, as long as the entire grant is spent directly on patient care and treatment in the domain of osseointegration. Under no circumstances will the patient receiving care through this grant program be charged by the providers for any services rendered. Both care providers and corporate partners may use participation in this program for public relation purposes. Additionally, participants in the grant program, including both care providers and corporate partners, will receive narrative recognition at all opportunities (i.e. at official Academy meetings), and visual recognition in several forums: the Academy of Osseointegration’s newsletter, Academy News; the Academy Bulletin Board in the International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Implants; the Osseointegration Foundation Report.
Implant Research Grant One research grant up to ten thousand dollars ($10,000) is awarded annually to an individual in any dental academic institution accredited by the American Dental Association. This grant has been funded to support scientific investigation in the field of dental implants. The grant is administered through the Osseointegration Foundation.
