On April 10-11, 2024, the American Dental Education Association (ADEA), American Association for Dental, Oral, and Craniofacial Research (AADOCR) and the Friends of the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (FNIDCR) will join forces for our 2024 Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill.
Together, we will raise the visibility of oral health, promote investment in dental education and training programs, and champion NIDCR-funded research.
With the many competing federal funding priorities facing Congress and the calls to cut spending, it is important for the dental education and dental, oral and craniofacial research communities to inform policymakers how funding dental training programs and dental research positively contributes to the overall health and well-being of the American people.
