Student Research Award
This Award is designed to encourage predoctoral and postdoctoral dental students/residents, under the mentorship of Dental Faculty, to pursue original historical research that has impacted on the evolution of dentistry as a profession and that may be hidden in the vast vaults of dental publications over the past 200-300 years. Creativity in pursuit of original sources supporting the thesis question is strongly encouraged. Guidelines for the submission of an individual’s scholarly efforts can be obtained from the Editor of the Journal of the History of Dentistry. Please inquire at editor@histden.org.
