The largest grant in the history of Boston University's dental school will support research into disparities in oral health, the university said today.
Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine has received $14.5 million from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research to fund work through 2015 at the Center for Research to Evaluate and Eliminate Dental Disparities, one of five national centers. The BU center's goal is to achieve equal oral health among all social and ethnic groups in New England.
The grant's principal investigator is Dr. Raul Garcia and the co-principal investigator is Dr. Michelle Henshaw.
