CHICAGO – The Foundation for Endodontics, the philanthropic arm of the American Association of Endodontics, announced Brasseler U.S.A. Dental, LLC, has pledged $75,000 for one year of Resident Research Grants for 2022.
Under this grant, $500 is available to every endodontic resident to fund activities related to their research on a one-time basis. This grant also makes it possible for residents to receive an additional $500 award once the initial $500 grant has been awarded, used, and reported on.
“Brasseler U.S.A. is committed to removing financial barriers for residents embarking on endodontic research,” said Jack Burlison, Director of Endodontic Professional Relations, “We believe this grant program will be a catalyst for scientific innovation.”
“What makes this grant funding so powerful is its flexibility to support individual residents’ research projects, provide travel to present their research or attend a board review course, and support other research-related activities. We are very grateful to Brasseler U.S.A. Dental for their leadership and generosity,” said Board of Trustee President, John M. Nusstein, D.D.S., M.S.
