Description:
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) invites
proposals to develop new insight into the role of microbes in human oral
health and disease through research on the total oral microbial community
(microbiome) using metagenomic approaches built upon recent developments in
DNA sequencing, gene assembly and bioinformatics. The ultimate goal is to
completely characterize all microbes and their genes in the oral environment.
To this end, we are soliciting projects that will analyze the genomes of both
cultivatable and uncultivable bacteria, archaea, viruses, fungi and
parasites. Applicants will be expected to work with state-of-the-science
genomic sequencing centers and bioinformatics groups to sequence and annotate
all microbes in the oral cavity under conditions of health and disease.
