The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 , which included COVID-19 relief legislation, included provisions to make it easier for US taxpayers to help charitable organizations like the International & American Associations for Dental, Oral, and Craniofacial Research. Notably, the bill reestablished the temporary $300 above-the-line deduction for taxpayers who do not itemize their deductions ($600 for couples filing jointly) that was included in the 2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act , or CARES Act. Your assistance through these charitable deductions can have a lasting impact on the mission of IADR and AADOCR and help strengthen the Associations for years to come.

Dental research created a profession. In the early decades of the last century, investments in dental research moved a trade to a profession. From the fluoridation of public water supplies – a crowning public health achievement of the 20 ^th Century – to high-speed handpieces, dental composites and ceramic restorations, periodontal diagnostics and therapeutics, and more biologic approaches to replacing lost tissues, it was the investments in dental research that defined us as a profession.

Despite these advances, challenges remain.

Only with your help . . .

AADOCR moves Research into Action. AADOCR is the only professional organization positioned to support and represent the oral health research community, provide scientific career development, increase opportunities for scientific exchange, advance research in all sciences related to oral health, facilitate the application of research findings, and advocate for oral health research.

Your support:

Provides student fellowships to stimulate interest in craniofacial, oral, and dental research careers and ensure an adequate pipeline of future scientists,
Assists AADOCR in fostering and developing junior scientists,
Allows AADOCR to amplify its dialog with policy makers, under the Friends of NIDCR umbrella, to increase funding for biomedical research,
Enables AADOCR to publish the highest quality articles in the Journal of Dental Research and JDR Clinical & Translational Research, and,
Facilitates the application of research findings into practice and shortens the time lag from discovery to chair-side and to curb-side.

We are on the cusp of a scientific revolution in oral health care. With your investment, AADOCR will match or exceed the strides of the last Century and cultivate the scientific workforce of the future.

Let’s move research into action!
