Project Summary/Abstract
The University of Florida (UF) College of Dentistry and East Carolina University
(ECU) School of Dental Medicine are collaborating to establish an academic
multidisciplinary practice-based research network within and between their respective dental
schools to provide clinical faculty, residents, and predoctoral students with a competency-based
training program for skills development, research mentorship, and participation in practice-
oriented clinical research. The partnership addresses NIDCR’s opportunity for Practice-Based
Research Integrating Multidisciplinary Experiences in Dental Schools (PRIMED). There is a
need in dental education to promote research skill training and experiences, at both the pre- and
post-doctoral levels, and to integrate these processes with interprofessional education and
transdisciplinary research. This proposal is designed to foster culture change to embrace
research as a critical component of both dental education and dental practice.
The proposed project outlines the Development of Opportunities for Research
(DOOR): Future Academic Interdisciplinary Workforce and Collaborators for the National
Dental Practice-Based Research Network (PBRN). Along with clinical research skills
development and mentoring, included are two clinical research studies with common databases
across the two schools, to involve dental students, residents, clinical faculty, and research-
intensive faculty. The studies will be focused on diabetes detection chairside (Advancing Pre-
diabetes/Periodontal Research in Oral Academic Clinical Healthcare; APPROACH) or pain
conditions affecting dental treatment (Chronic Overlapping Pain Evaluation Study; COPES).
This project will leverage the resources of UF as a research-intensive dental school (#5 in
NIDCR funding) to promote a pipeline of dental students and residents at both UF and ECU
who are engaged with clinical research. As a newer dental school, ECU (#47 in NIDCR funding)
will advance its research activities and lend its resources, adding to the diversity in this initiative
given their successes in realizing racial and ethnic diversity among their dental students and the
patients whom they serve. For both institutions, the resources of the UF Clinical and
Translational Science Institute will be harnessed for research training and implementation,
also relying on UF’s experience with the Dental Practice Based Research Network.
Additionally, the Dental Clinical Research Unit at UF will be used as a resource, as will the
UF Pain Research and Intervention Center of Excellence.
