The IADR Colgate Research in Prevention Travel Awards is available to new investigators who have submitted an abstract which has a preventive component for a travel award to support their attendance at the IADR General Session. The objective of this award program is to encourage new investigators to undertake research in the prevention of oral diseases and to facilitate their presentation of this work to the international dental and oral health research community. New Investigators must be within 10 years of completing their last terminal degree (PhD, DDS, DMD, or equivalent) at the time of the submission deadline. Applicants must be IADR members. Aside from the abstract, applicants must also submit a separate and more detailed overview of their projects. This overview must include brief details of their material and methods, the results of the research including details of statistical analysis, and a brief discussion including how the research will affect the prevention of the condition stated. Submissions must represent original research in the area of disease prevention. Applications that have as their focus prevention of systemic disease where oral disease is a significant potential contributory factor will also be considered. In addition to research on various preventive agents, the Committee will consider submissions that focus on preventive programs, demonstration projects, or community programs, providing that outcomes are measured and reported and that the applicant can clearly articulate the benefits of their work in terms of prevention of disease in their overview. One person from each of the following IADR regions will be selected: North America (Canada, United States, and Mexico); Latin America; Europe (including Israel); Africa or Middle East; and Asia/Pacific region (including the Indian sub-continent, Asia, China, Australia/New Zealand and the Pacific Islands, excluding Hawaii and Guam). The sixth award will be made to the next most worthy applicant from any part of the world. In the event that there are no suitable applications from one or more of the geographic regions outlined, the "extra" awards will be divided between the applicants on the basis of merit and regional distribution.
