NIDCR Summer Dental Student Award
Still thinking about research this coming Summer but maybe you feel the Summer Research Program is not for you? We are happy to announce details regarding the NIDCR Summer Dental Student Award. The goal of this program is to expose future dentists to careers in research, the NIDCR offers an outstanding summer research training opportunity in its intramural research labs for dental students. The NIDCR Summer Dental Student Award is designed to give talented dental students hands-on research experience and exposure to the latest advances in oral health research. Summer Dental Student Awardees are assigned to mentors who conduct research in the students’ areas of interest.
