IADR Regional Development Program

About this program

The International Association for Dental Research (IADR) is offering Regional Development Program awards to promote oral health research in regions with less-developed research programs, providing a total inclusive budget of US$60,000 per year for all recipients. Applications use a two-step online process—Intent to Apply followed by an Invited Request for Supplemental Materials—and the application period runs from July 13, 2026 to October 1, 2026. Eligible proposals should directly support research initiatives in low- and middle-income countries or regions, including areas with both developed and less-developed IADR Divisions/Sections, and will undergo committee review after supplemental materials are requested.
