Honolulu Meeting a Success 

www.dentalresearch.org 

A Message 

from the 

President 

With a total registration of 6,472 

people from 62 countries, the 82nd 

General Session & Exhibition of the 

IADR in Honolulu, HI, became one of the 

three best-attended meetings in the history of 

the Association (topped only by Washington, 

DC, in 2000 and San Diego, CA, in 2002). 

Honolulu was also the venue for the 33rd 

Annual Meeting of the American Association 

for Dental Research (AADR) and the 28th 

Annual Meeting of the Canadian Association 

for Dental Research (CADR). 

The meeting included: 4,101 accepted 

abstracts (including 1,133 orals, 2,859 

posters, 75 poster discussion), 422 total 

sessions (oral, poster, and poster discussion), 

six Hands-on Workshops, 28 Symposia, 24 

Lunch & Learning speakers, 22 Keynote 

Addresses, three Satellite programs, and three 

Plenary Session speakers, the first featuring 

The Opening Ceremonies. 

the W.J. Gies Distinguished Scientist Lecture 

(Wendy Mouradian [University of 

Washington], speaking on "Ethics, Research, 

and Social Values: Dental Research in a 

Changing World"). The other Plenary Session 

speakers were Gerald Keusch (Boston 

University), who spoke on "Global 

Perspectives of Nutrition and Infection", and 

Ko Okumura (Juntendo University, Japan), 

whose address was entitled "Molecular 

Mechanisms of Cell-mediated Killing and 

Tumor Rejection". Also featured were 76 

exhibit booths (representing 65 corporations, 

educational institutions, and other 

organizations), Group business meetings and 

receptions, and the presentation of many 

awards and recognitions. About 60% of the

Paul Robertson 

It is a great honor for me to be President of 

the IADR for 2004-2005. The International 

Association for Dental Research has been a 

major force in my professional life for more 

than 3 decades. For me as a student and then a 

young investigator, the Association provided 

meeting and publication forums with 

experienced scientists who offered guidance 

and advice. Over the years, collaboration with 

many of these IADR colleagues resulted in new 

questions to be asked and new investigational 

tools to search for answers. I will work to 

maintain and improve for you all of the IADR 

services that were so critical to me. 

The IADR/AADR/CADR meeting in 

Hawaii was among the largest in our history. 

It was filled with good science and good 

company. We were most fortunate to have 

three eminent scientists as Plenary Session 

Speakers: Wendy Mouradian, Gerald Keusch, 

and Ko Okumura. We had 28 symposia, 24 

Lunch & Learning sessions, and 6 Hands-on 

Workshops. Our scientific sessions represented 

62 countries and included 1133 oral 

presentations and 2859 poster presentations in 

422 sessions. Several end-of-meeting reviews 

were very positive in their comments on the 

facilities, the abstracts submission and review 

process, and the overall impact of the meeting.

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

Keynote Speakers selected by the Scientific 

Groups were considered an excellent addition. 

Electronic submission of abstracts was a major 

improvement for submission, peer review, and 

scheduling of both the oral and the poster 

sessions. 

The Annual Session Committee worked 

diligently to plan this year's meeting. Much of 

our success in Hawaii was due to the 

dedication of Gwynn Dominguez and the 

Central Office meeting staff. I also gratefully 

express thanks to the Group Program Chairs 

and Reviewers, who worked hard through a 

very short time-line to assess the abstracts and 

organize the oral and poster sessions. The 

IADR will devote much time this year to 

evaluating those meeting aspects that are 

valued by our members while exploring new 

approaches to enhance the excitement of 

scientific discovery through IADR. 

The IADR Council meeting was most 

positive. Stephen Bayne was welcomed as the 

new IADR Vice-president. Efforts in the area 

of regional development are going well. The 

Regional Board Members, including Jeroen 

Kroon (South Africa), Mariano Sanz (Spain), 

Yupin Songpaisan (Thailand), José Luiz Lage- 

Marques (Brazil), and Richard Ellen (Canada), 

have been very constructive. We are a truly 

international organization, and input to the 

Board and Council through these regional 

representatives, as well as Divisions, Groups, 

and Federations, is critical to keeping this 

organization vibrant. The Council also 

welcomed Tony Smith as the new Editor of the 

Journal of Dental Research. Tony brings a 

solid scientific background. He also has a keen 

grasp of approaches to information transfer 

and electronic publishing, which should 

ultimately allow us to reach all our members 

and the public they serve. 

Executive Director Christopher Fox has 

been an outstanding addition to IADR. His 

first year was marked by competence, insight, 

hard work, and delightful humor. I also 

commend Board members Stephen 

Challacombe, John Clarkson, Takayuki 

Kuroda, Edwin Yen, Mark Herzberg, and 

Deputy Executive Director Robert "Skip" 

Collins. Together these individuals have served 

you exceptionally well this year. Despite tragic 

world events, rapidly changing meeting 

locations, and difficult economic conditions, 

this Board has continued our mission to 

advance research and increase knowledge for 

the improvement of oral health, and at the 

same time, kept us fiscally stable. 

Please feel free to contact me with any 

issues about future directions for the IADR. I 

look forward to working with all of you 

during the year and anticipate a highly 

successful meeting in Baltimore, Maryland, 

next March. •

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. 

Submission dates are October 1, 2004, and 

March 1, 2005. 

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: 

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 (6) 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. •
