This year’s CARE recipients stand to receive funding of $30,000 per project. They are as follows, in no particular order:

• Neha Parikh, BSc, MSc, PhD, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, “Determining the correlation between oral health, microbial dysbiosis, and inflammation in Alzheimer’s disease”
• Hyuk-Jae Edward Kwon, DDS, PhD, State University of New York, University at Buffalo, “Identification of heparan sulfate-binding therapeutic targets for correcting cleft palate”

• Roberto Fanganiello, BSc, PhD, Unversité Laval, “Creation of physiologically reliable 3D biomimetic bone for regenerative dentistry”

Established in 2016, the CARE Program provides financial support to young academic researchers. Award winners are required to be in the first 5 years of their academic appointment. They are also designed to innovate dentistry in new and unique ways, according to Vice President and Chief Clinical Officer at Colgate Maria Ryan, DDS, PhD.

“The CARE Program fosters the development of junior faculty by providing seed research funding to emerging leaders in academia at a time in their career path when it is most needed,” said Dr Maria Ryan, Vice President and Chief Clinical Officer at Colgate.

“Every year, we look forward to meeting and supporting talented researchers in the early stages of their careers. We are pleased to fund innovative projects that promise to advance industry knowledge and perhaps even revolutionize the field of dentistry. On behalf of Colgate, sincere congratulations to the winners of this year’s grant awards.”

The proposals are reviewed and evaluated by an independent panel of dental researchers. The CARE grants are offered for 1 year.
