Preventive research award for dental care professionals

Colgate and The Oral & Dental Research Trust are inviting applications for the Colgate DCP Research Awards for research conducted by dental care professionals (DCP).

Four awards, each to a maximum value of £2,500, will be made on the basis of an application for support of investigations of clinical relevance, particularly in the field of preventive care.

The way in which the award will support the investigation must be specified.

Successful applicants will be required to attend the BDA Conference & Exhibition in Liverpool on 20 May 2010 where they will be presented with their awards at a xhampagne reception and luncheon held to celebrate their success.

Applications should be sent to: Dr Margaret Kellett Honorary Secretary Oral & Dental Research Trust c/o Department of Periodontology Leeds Dental Institute Clarendon Way Leeds LS2 9LU.
