ADA extends deadline for investigator award

The ADA is extending the application deadline for the 2014 John W. Stanford New Investigator Award to October 31.

The award underscores the crucial role that dental standards play in patient health and safety and in the efficacy of dental products, according to the ADA.

The New Investigator Award pays homage to the legacy of Dr. Stanford, a 40-year ADA employee, who is credited with establishing the ADA's current standards program.

Applications for the award are accepted annually from dental students or dentists who have earned their Doctor of Dental Surgery or Doctor of Dental Medicine degrees no more than five years prior to the time of selection. Submissions must be original research that addresses some aspect of the use of standards in dental research or clinical application.
