Grant Description

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks to stimulate innovative research that will increase our understanding of the role that uncultivable bacterial species play in the microbial ecology of the human oral microbiota during states of health and disease. The effective integration of current technologies and the development of new tools and innovative methods are especially encouraged.Due to the wide spectrum of possible experimental approaches and the multidisciplinary tools that will be required to study this unique microbial population, this FOA is designed specifically to encourage team science that will leverage innovation, broad expertise and multiple technological platforms to answer hypothesis-driven questions regarding these bacteria.Consistent with this approach, the use of a multiple Program Directors/Principal Investigators (PDs/PIs) model is encouraged that will recruit complementary and collaborative research teams to conduct these studies.
