The British Society of Gerodontology is delighted to offer a research prize to support a project related to Gerodontology. The BSG Research Award seeks to support early career researchers in the field of Gerodontology to undertake high-quality research that benefits patients cared for in Special Care Dentistry services.
There will be a maximum of one award within a 12-month period (calendar year) of up to £5000.. The award should lead to the development of an early career researcher’s academic career and application for further substantial research funding such as from the National Institute for Health Research or one of the UK’s Research Councils.
To be eligible for the award you must:
• Be a current member of BSG
• Not already hold an MPhil, MD, or PhD • Have no existing or alternative funding for the proposed project
• Ensure they have established, academic supervision from a university-associated staff member who can support the research project. Project Requirements The project should: • Include novel research that benefits older patients (over 65 years) who would be cared for in Community Dental Services and/or Special Care Dentistry services • Receive appropriate ethical approval as per the UK Policy Framework for Health and Social Care Research unless this is clearly not required for your chosen project (this must be justified in your application)
• Be feasible and achievable within the timescale presented
