Research Support Grants

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Foundation

Research Support Grants further the development of scientific investigators committed to problems related to oral and maxillofacial surgery. Each grant is $100,000 and is awarded to the institution.

Citizenship

Either the applicant and/or the OMS Co-PI must be a citizen or non-citizen national of the United States or its possessions and territories or must, at least one year prior to signing the application for the Research Support Grant, have been lawfully admitted to the United States or Canada for permanent residence.

No Age Limitations

There is no minimum or maximum age to apply.

AI Based Application Success Predictor

1. Direct Relevance to Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

The OMS Foundation explicitly states that its research grants are intended to support investigators working on problems related to oral and maxillofacial surgery. Projects that directly address challenges encountered in OMS practice are the most competitive.

Examples include:

Craniofacial reconstruction
Facial trauma
Bone regeneration
Dental implant surgery
Orthognathic surgery
Head and neck pathology
TMJ disorders
Anesthesia and patient safety
Outcomes research

2. Strong Scientific Merit

Applications undergo rigorous peer review and are awarded based on scientific merit. Successful proposals typically demonstrate:

Clear hypotheses
Appropriate study design
Robust methodology
Sound statistical planning
Well-defined outcome measures

Scientific quality is a primary review consideration.

3. Potential to Improve Patient Care

The Foundation's mission emphasizes improving the quality and safety of patient care through research and innovation. Projects with direct clinical relevance and potential to improve patient outcomes are especially attractive.

Reviewers often favor studies that could:

Improve surgical outcomes
Reduce complications
Enhance recovery
Improve treatment planning
Increase patient safety

4. Innovation

The OMS Foundation repeatedly highlights innovation as a strategic goal.

Competitive proposals frequently include:

Novel surgical approaches
Regenerative medicine
Biomaterials
Tissue engineering
Digital surgery technologies
Artificial intelligence applications
Advanced imaging methods

Projects that advance the specialty beyond current practice often receive favorable consideration.

5. Strong Investigator and Team

Reviewers assess whether the investigative team possesses the expertise necessary to complete the project successfully.

Important strengths include:

Relevant publication history
Prior research accomplishments
Technical expertise
Appropriate collaborators
Demonstrated productivity

Applications involving experienced OMS investigators generally have an advantage.

6. Feasibility

Successful proposals clearly demonstrate that the project can be completed within the funding period.

Common features include:

Realistic timelines
Access to patients or specimens
Established methodologies
Appropriate resources
Practical recruitment plans

Feasibility is a critical component of competitive applications.

7. Potential for Future Funding

The Foundation explicitly aims to support early-stage projects that can generate preliminary data for larger grants.

Projects that position investigators for future funding from agencies such as the National Institutes of Health or other major funders are viewed favorably.

8. Clinical and Translational Impact

The Clinical Research Support Grant mechanism specifically emphasizes patient-oriented research.

Competitive projects often:

Translate laboratory discoveries into clinical practice
Address unmet clinical needs
Evaluate surgical interventions
Develop evidence-based treatment strategies

Translational relevance strengthens applications considerably.

9. Mentorship and Career Development

For fellowships and early-career programs, reviewer emphasis extends beyond the project itself to the development of the investigator.

Successful applicants frequently demonstrate:

Strong mentors
Dedicated research training
Commitment to an academic OMS career
Long-term research goals

The Foundation and related OMS research fellowships emphasize cultivating future surgeon-scientists.

10. Institutional Environment and Collaboration

Strong institutional support improves competitiveness.

Reviewers favor environments offering:

Research infrastructure
Biostatistical support
Core facilities
Clinical research resources
Interdisciplinary collaborations

Collaborations with basic scientists often strengthen translational proposals.

Frequently Funded Research Themes

Historically, OMS Foundation-supported research has focused on:

Bone regeneration and tissue engineering
Craniofacial reconstruction
Dental implant science
Facial trauma management
Orthognathic surgery outcomes
Temporomandibular joint disorders
Anesthesia and patient safety
Regenerative medicine
Biomaterials
Clinical outcomes and quality improvement

Eligibility Requirements

Applicant must have obtained a doctoral degree.

Applicant oral and maxillofacial surgeon (OMS) must have completed an oral and maxillofacial surgery training program accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association (CODA).
If the Prinicipal Investigator (PI) is not an OMS, there must be a qualified OMS as Co-PI.
Preference is given to applications that have a strong and clearly defined role for the oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
If not the PI, the Co-PI OMSs must have an active role in the project, and the time commitment of the Co-PI must be stated in objective terms (e.g., hours/days per week, days per month).
The OMS Co-PI must contribute at least 10% effort to the project.
The OMS who is the PI or Co-PI, as the case may be, must be a fellow or member of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) and must be a donor of the OMS Foundation.
