This year, we announced our new funding opportunity for undergraduate and graduate scholars and had a very competitive turnout! The Student Research Support Grant will be awarded annually to students to help support their research. Eligible projects can focus on any area in dental anthropology, including oral anatomy/development, paleoanthropology, diet, health, bioarchaeology, forensics, dental evolution, morphology/metrics, biogeochemistry, or any other field that draws upon dental data. Funding can be applied to projects in-development or to ongoing studies as a stopgap to support expenses not covered by other funding sources but funding cannot be used to support conference travel. We look forward to reading their research reports next year!
