Join the Friends
The knowledge and treatments we take for granted today are only possible because of oral health investigators who devoted a lifetime in search of better answers.
A Coalition of Members
- Patient Advocate Organizations know that research will improve the treatment and care of individuals with oral health diseases and conditions;
- Corporations understand the importance of supporting the basic research that the NIDCR conducts, as well as learning more about opportunities for technology transfer;
- Dental Schools recognize that the NIDCR is the intellectual basis for their professional discipline;
- Dental Societies appreciate the strength and effectiveness of a group of organizations speaking as one cohesive voice;
- Individuals, including past Grantees and current & past NIDCR Employees, all want to support and give back to the Institute as a token of their appreciation.
A Strong Patient Advocacy Agenda
Our mission is to educate the public and key decision makers about the importance of investing in the NIDCR (National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research) at the National Institutes of Health. We blend leaders from the scientific and professional communities with oral health patient advocacy groups to provide a common voice for our patient advocacy agenda.
Keeping Washington Committed
to Research Funding
The Friends of the NIDCR works to ensure that oral health research is a priority in Washington. Proper federal funding of NIH and the NIDCR will transform the future of medical and dental practice to benefit our fellow citizens and will ease the burden on our nation’s healthcare system. After all, translating what we learn in the lab to bring better patient care to the dentist’s office ultimately affects health and quality of life for all of us.
