Research Grants - AAE Foundation for Endodontics

About this program

The AAE Foundation for Endodontics funds research to advance endodontic science and patient care via Competitive Research Grants (reviewed biannually; the top student and non‑student proposals each cycle receive an additional $500) and Resident Research Awards (primary $500 one‑time award with an additional $500 available after initial funds are used). Competitive proposals must be submitted through the Foundation’s online submission site (guidelines and templates provided; Fall 2026 cycle opens in July; Spring 2026 is closed), while Resident awards are accepted on a rolling basis and must be submitted by the endodontic program director; all checks are issued to the institution. Awardees must file Final Progress Reports and annual follow‑ups for multi‑year projects, and the Foundation provides forms for extensions, change of PI, and institutional transfers; contact grants.foundation@aae.org or 312‑872‑0452 for assistance.
