With a total registration of 5,764 

people from 63 countries and 47 

states, the 83rd General Session & 

Exhibition of the IADR in Baltimore, MD, 

joined the ranks of the most successful

The Long Journey to Academic Acceptance"), 

and two satellite symposia. The other Plenary 

Session speakers were Elias A. Zerhouni 

(Director, US National Institutes of Health), 

who spoke on the "NIH Roadmap for Medical 

Research", and M. Michael Cohen (Dalhousie 

University, Halifax, NS, Canada), whose

(University of Washington, Seattle, USA), 

who acknowledged the extraordinary 

challenges faced by IADR members in 

Southeast Asia in the aftermath of the 

devastating tsunami in December. He also 

called attention to the many visible reminders 

of the new look of, and new content in, the

Takayuki Kuroda 

It is a great honor and privilege for me to be 

President of the IADR for 2005-2006. I have 

had the privilege of working closely with my 

immediate predecessor, Paul Robertson, and 

have learned much under his guidance. His 

leadership over the past year will never be 

forgotten by all IADR members. On behalf of 

the IADR, I would like to express our heartfelt 

thanks to Immediate Past President Robertson. 

It will not be easy for me to follow in the 

brilliant footsteps of the Past Presidents of the 

IADR. I will try to do my best for all IADR 

members to maintain and to further our 

organization’s activities. 

The General Session & Exhibition of the

High School Junior Presents 

at IADR Baltimore Meeting 

At a time when most teens are worrying 

about SATs, college applications, and 

prom dates, 16-year-old Rozina 

Khouryawad, a junior at John F. Kennedy 

High School in Bellmore, NY, is thinking 

about "in vitro fibroblast growth on GTR 

materials"…the title of the abstract she 

presented at the recent 83rd General Session 

of the IADR in Baltimore, MD. 

Rozina is believed to be the youngest 

Can You Serve 

on a Committee 

Committees are the backbone of the 

IADR and AADR, and each year the 

Presidents-elect seek a wide variety of 

volunteers, representing as many geographic 

areas and scientific disciplines as possible, to 

fill committee vacancies. 

If you are interested in serving on an 

IADR committee, beginning in 2006, 

contact IADR President-elect Stephen Bayne 

(stephen_bayne@dentistry.unc.edu). 

Those interested in volunteering for 

service on an AADR committee should 

IADR and AADR Councils 

Approve Online JDR as an 

IADR Membership Benefit 

Beginning in January, 2006, all IADR 

and AADR members will receive 

online access to the Journal of Dental 

Research as part of their membership dues. 

The JDR has the highest Scientific Impact 

Factor of any dental journal in the world, 

and each issue now contains two papers 

from Critical Reviews in Oral Biology & 

Medicine. 

This dramatic and exciting action 

marks the first time in the 84-year history of 

the IADR that ALL members will receive 

the official publication, regardless of 

geographic location. Council believes that, 

since the JDR is co-owned by the IADR and 

the AADR, and is truly an international 

publication, this step is critical to protecting 

its future. • 

person ever to present at an IADR meeting. 

Mentored by several faculty at the New 

York University College of Dentistry, she 

presented her work as a poster in an Oral & 

Maxillofacial Surgery session. 

By no means "one-dimensional", Rozina 

enjoys a full range of high school activities, 

and currently serves as President of the Art 

Club. She plans to pursue research into 

college and beyond. •

President’s Message...continued from p.1 

instructive and informative for the audiences 

who filled the lecture hall. 

The Annual Session Committee expresses 

grateful thanks to the Group Program Chairs 

and Reviewers who worked hard through 

such a short period to complete the necessary 

abstract review and programming process. 

In this Baltimore meeting, there were 

some modifications to the traditional meeting 

schedule. Oral sessions occurred only in the 

morning, and posters were available for 

viewing all day long, with poster presentations 

scheduled in the afternoon. This greatly 

increased attendance at oral sessions, with 

most meeting rooms at least 80% full. 

Another innovation was "Practitioner Day" on 

Saturday, where we welcomed 80 general 

practitioners to a program designed to transfer 

our scientific knowledge to the daily practice. 

For a first effort, the day was very successful. 

There will be other "tests" in the Brisbane 

meeting next year to explore new meeting 

formats and bring more scientific excitement 

to IADR members, and also open our doors to 

general practitioners through our scientific 

technology transfer programs. President-elect 

Steve Bayne, as the next Annual Session 

Committee Chair, welcomes your suggestions. 

The IADR Council meeting allowed for 

good discussion on several important subjects, 

such as online access to the Journal of Dental 

Research as a membership benefits, dues 

increase, and revisions to the Memorandum of 

Understanding (MOU) between the IADR 

and the AADR. Dr. Deborah Greenspan was 

welcomed as the new IADR Vice-president, 

and Dr. Angus Walls was also welcomed as 

the new Treasurer. The Regional Board 

Members, Drs. Jeroen Kroon, Mariano Sanz, 

Yupin Songpaisan, José Luiz Lage-Marques, 

and Richard Ellen, have been added to the 

Regional Development Program committee 

ex officio. We can expect the weight of all 

Committee functions to increase. 

As I stated in my President-elect’s 

speech in Baltimore, the Board reviews and 

discusses the Strategic Plan of the IADR 

each year. We have adopted several strategic 

recommendations in our structure and 

functions. However, there are still some 

Get ready to go back in time! Soon, 

the IADR will be launching the 

Retro Data Project, a complete 

online archive of the Journal of Dental 

Research, Critical Reviews in Oral Biology & 

Medicine, and Advances in Dental Research. 

This exciting project will allow anyone to 

search and view articles from these 

issues we need to address in coming years. 

For example, membership growth is 

stagnant in several countries. Young faculty 

and graduate students tend to present their 

research at meetings other than the IADR 

because of the more exciting responses they 

can expect from other meetings. Regarding 

meeting attendance, researchers from some 

regions cannot come to meetings outside of 

their countries due to high travel costs. Also, 

we have to consider restructuring our 

research group classification, because, as all 

of us recognize, there have been changes in 

research focus or research interests in our 

field. More interdisciplinary approaches and 

collaborative research with other professional 

scientific fields have become increasingly 

important. Our research outcomes affect not 

only oral health care but also general health 

promotion. There are not as many research 

topics just for "Dentistry". We should have 

more members from outside the dental field. 

The great difference in numbers of members 

among the various research Groups is 

dramatic. All these issues relate to the need 

to reconsider the meeting format and its 

effect on our meeting budget. 

Another issue is that recent economic 

crises, war, disease, and the fear of terrorism 

combine to reduce meeting attendance. From 

these points of view, the important responsibilities 

of Federations expand significantly. 

It is my pleasure to work together with 

Board members to find a solution. 

I wish to take this opportunity to thank 

the staff in the Central Office of IADR for 

their continuing support and commitment 

to the Association, and I look forward to 

working with them in the year ahead. 

Please feel free to contact me with any 

issues regarding future directions for the 

IADR. I look forward to working with you to 

ensure another successful year for the IADR.

Promoting Research in Developing Regions 

A Request for Regional Development 

Proposals from IADR Divisions and Sections 

Rationale/Program Description 

The purpose of this Request for Proposal 

(RFP) is to identify projects, submitted by 

IADR Divisions/Sections that would help 

initiate research and development or 

otherwise strengthen the oral health research 

infrastructure in developing regions. In 

response to appropriate proposals, grants will 

be awarded to Divisions/Sections subject to 

the availability of funds and approval by the 

IADR Board of Directors. The size of 

individual grants will vary, depending on the 

number and quality of proposals submitted 

and the amount of funding available. 

Although it is desirable to encourage the 

development of a research infrastructure in 

as many developing regions as possible, 

consideration will be given to supporting 

ongoing initiatives that have demonstrated 

an ability to promote research development. 

Divisions/Sections currently having welldeveloped 

oral health research efforts may 

submit proposals whose objective is to assist 

adjacent regions/Divisions/Sections that do 

not have such capacity. Where appropriate, 

regional coalitions of Divisions are 

encouraged to join together to submit 

proposals and implement programs. 

Wherever possible, the use of matching 

funds to enhance the effort is encouraged. 

Examples of projects eligible for support 

include: training workshops and grants, 

improving access to scientific information, 

provision of scientific journals, fellowship and 

lecture programs, communications 

infrastructures, training in research methods, 

and surveys of oral health that would 

identify further research needs and provide 

experience in conducting research for 

participants, as well as other programs which 

would advance oral/dental health research, 

and improve communications and 

collaborations in the oral health scientific 

community in the region and internationally. 

Proposals are reviewed twice annually. The 

next submission deadlines are October 1, 

2005, and March 1, 2006. 

Focus of Proposals 

Although a range of projects is eligible for 

support, the IADR has decided to emphasize 

certain areas. The highest priority will be 

placed on those targeting support for: 

• young scientists’ development by 

supporting attendance at appropriate 

local, regional, or international meetings 

to present the results of their research; 

• mentoring of developing scientists, e.g., 

travel for established scientists to work 

on site with students/developing 

researchers for various periods of time 

(short "visiting lecture" programs will 

not be considered for funding); and 

• initiation/enhancement of newsletters 

or other communication systems, e.g., 

use of the World Wide Web (www), 

that describe and promote local oral 

health research activities. 

Proposals should not exceed five (5) 

typewritten pages (approximately 1,000 

words) and should be submitted in the 

following format (www.dentalresearch.org): 

Background 

Grant applications should include a brief 

historical background of the Division/Section 

making the application and any experience it 

has had in conducting activities promoting an 

oral health research infrastructure or activities. 

The region/institution to be targeted may be 

within the Division/Section or in an adjacent 

region, and it should be described. 

Objectives 

List the specific objectives to be achieved. 

Program Description/Evaluation 

Applications should include a full description 

of the proposed program(s), project(s), 

initiative(s), or infrastructure development 

and how the targeted area would be affected. 

The description should include a 

methodology, a time line, and a plan to 

evaluate the effectiveness of the program. 

Financial Request/ 

Matching Support 

A grant program budget should be 

provided. Please indicate the amount in US 

dollars for each aspect of the program and 

the time line required to implement the 

program outlined above. Indicate if 

university, institution, association, or 

corporate support will be added to this 

grant, the length of this financial 

commitment, the US$ amount, and the 

number of personnel who will supplement 

the grant program. Describe the institutional 

support, name the responsible 

institutional officials, and include a signed 

letter of support from the institution. 

Research Publication 

Grant applicants should indicate if the 

results of this grant will be submitted for 

publication in a professional journal or 

presentation at a scientific meeting. If so, the 

name of the journal or meeting should be 

included. Approval of the grant is not 

contingent upon publication or presentation. 

Reporting 

No later than (4) months after the 

completion date of the project, as described 

in Part III above, the Division/Section shall 

provide a written report to the IADR 

Central Office describing the results of the 

initiative. The description should follow the 

evaluation plan outlined in Part III. A 

summary report should be submitted for 

publication in IADR Reports and on the Web 

site (www.dentalresearch.org). 

Application 

Each Division/Section may present only one 

proposal per grant cycle. To apply for a 

grant, a Division or Section should submit a 

signed original and two copies of the grant 

proposal in English to the IADR Central 

Office in Alexandria, Virginia, USA, no later 

than October 1 or March 1. Proposals 

should be typewritten in the format outlined 

above. Grant applications that lack the 

required information will be returned to the 

originators with an explanation of the 

proposal’s shortcomings. All grant 

applications will be evaluated and approved 

or rejected by the IADR Board of Directors. 

Applicants will be notified of the status of 

their submissions prior to the formal 

announcement of funded proposals. The 

proposals will be evaluated according to the 

establishment of clear and measurable 

outcome variables. For example, a proposal 

to launch or enhance a newsletter should 

include a description of the number and size 

of issues to be produced within a specified 

period as well as a specific plan for 

continuation of the medium subsequent to 

the grant support period. Support for 

scientists beginning research careers should 

specify the number of those who are 

currently able to travel to meetings, the 

level of support for each scientist’s travel, 

and the additional number projected to 

attend national/international meetings as a 

result of the grant. •
