£85,000 ortho grants up for grabs
4th Dec 2008
Orthodontic research in 2009 is to get a boost, thanks to £85,000 worth of research funding.
The British Orthodontic Society Foundation (BOSF) is offering the cash as part of its support for research and educational projects and personal research fellowships.
Last year, BOSF made a record award – £97,296 for the project, ‘A Longitudinal Study of Orthognathic Patients' Self-perception, Motivation and Expectations in Relation to Outcomes' and a further £32,534 to a project examining ‘The Possible Role of Chewing Gum in Orthodontic Pain Relief'.
Applications for support from the British Orthodontic Society Foundation are invited and in line with its aims, the Society is encouraging applicants to consider projects that will benefit the orthodontic speciality.
Collaborative research between groups and organisations are especially encouraged.
Applications must be received electronically by noon on 16 January 2009 and the awards guidelines and an application form are available on www.bos.org.uk.
The Foundation is funded from donations and legacies from orthodontists and the BOS ensures that 100% of the monies raised are put into supporting research and educational projects and personal research fellowships.
