This $15,000 award supports research projects focused on the prevention of periodontitis.

What is awarded?

The $15,000 AAP Foundation Education Fellowship funded by OMNI Preventive Care, a 3M ESPE Company, encourages and rewards interest in periodontal research. The $15,000 award is provided directly to the student and is intended to be a supplement to, and not a replacement for, any remuneration he/she may otherwise receive. The recipient is encouraged to use the award for education/living expenses.

Who is eligible?

Applicants for the AAP Foundation Education Fellowship Funded by OMNI Preventive Care must be students in their first or second year of a U.S. periodontal postdoctoral program and must be Student members of the American Academy of Periodontology.

How do candidates apply?

Applications are currently not being accepted since no fellowship will be awarded in 2009.

What is the selection process?

A three-person committee appointed by the Foundation President will review applications; and the successful applicant is chosen based, in part, on a research proposal he/she provides as part of the application packet. The proposed research should examine prevention of periodontitis and/or gingivitis at the primary, secondary or tertiary level. The definition of “prevention” is broad and may include treatment of periodontal disease to prevent further disease. Potential research areas include, but are not limited to implants, surgical techniques, periodontal biology and regeneration. The research proposed may be in the context of diagnostics, therapeutics, behavioral modification, or restorative conditions. Other factors in the selection include the applicant’s academic standing and passion for education and research. The Fellow will be announced at the AAP Annual Meeting.
