Academy of Osseointegration Implant Research Grant

The purpose of this grant is to provide support for research in the behavioral, biologic, biomechanical or biomaterial aspects of dental implants. Applicants that address areas of research to enhance the public acceptance of implants are welcome. Eligibility is restricted to members of the Academy 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, 2009. The recipient of this award will be notified by January 1, 2010, and will be required to submit a progress report on or before September 1, 2010. The recipient is required to present the results of the investigation at the Academy’s 2011 Annual Meeting in Washington DC. Travel expenses (airfare and lodging) will be provided by the Academy.

AO Implant Research Grant Application

Each year the Osseointegration Foundation makes available 10 grants of up to $10,000 for subsidizing the care of eligible patients. 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 for any services rendered.

Both care providers and corporate partners may participate in this program for public relation purposes. Additionally, participants in the grant program, including care providers and corporate partners, will receive narrative recognition at all opportunities (i.e. at official Academy meetings), and visual recognition in AcademyNews; and the Osseointegration Foundation Annual Report.

The awards will be determined annually and recipients will be notified in January.

Charitable Grant Application

The Osseointegration Foundation will provide a grant of up to $15,000 to provide support for research in the basic, clinical and behavioral science aspects of dental implants.

Results of the investigation will be presented at the Academy’s 2011 Annual Meeting in Washington DC. In addition, a manuscript of their research will be published in the International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Implants.
