We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

U54Activity Code Description: To support any part of the full range of research and development from very basic to clinical; may involve ancillary supportive activities such as protracted patient care necessary to the primary research or R&D effort. The spectrum of activities comprises a multidisciplinary attack on a specific disease entity or biomedical problem area. These differ from program project in that they are usually developed in response to an announcement of the programmatic needs of an Institute or Division and subsequently receive continuous attention from its staff. Centers may also serve as regional or national resources for special research purposes, with funding component staff helping to identify appropriate priority needs. |
Oral Health-Related Quality of Life in Youth @ Boston University Medical Campus
Oral health-related quality of life (OQOL) concerns the impact of oral health on the social and psychological well-being and the daily functioning of children and their families. Although several measures of OQOL exist for use with adults, there are no comparable measures of children. This project will develop a set of measures of pediatric oral health-related quality of life (POQOL), suitable for use with children and adolescents, that assesses the impact of oral health on both children and their families. To accomplish this task, the following aims are proposed: 1) Develop, refine and validate a measure of OQOL for use with children and adolescents; 2) For each of the four age-appropriate versions of the OQOL instrument, develop a comparable Spanish-language version; 3) Conduct further validation of all English and Spanish instruments to assess their sensitivity to change over time to responsiveness to interventions; 4) Combine the POQOL assessment with other clinical, demographic and psychosocial measures to explore potential sources of disparities in oral health; and 5) create a short version of the POQOL measures for screening purposes. Patient focus groups will aid in item development and pre-testing of measures. Reliability will be determined through re-testing, and validity by examining the relationship between POQOL and established measures of pediatric health and health-related quality of life. Regression analyses will be used to examine the relationship between POQOL, psychosocial factors and oral health disparities in children. The resulting POQOL measures will be used in analyses of data collected by other projects in this Program Proposal, and more generally can be used to assess oral quality of life in population surveys, as outcome measures in clinical trials, and in clinical practice to evaluate the impact of interventions.

Lifespan Outcomes of Military Service @ Boston University Medical Campus
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Military service has profound effects on multiple aspects of health and well-being across the lifespan. Although veterans are selected for good health, and military service confers some positive benefits, it can also have short- and long-term negative consequences. There is an urgent need for an integrative, multidisciplinary approach to understand the dynamic interplay between the risk
