The ACP Education Foundation was proud to support the GSK Prosthodontist Innovator Award. The goals of this sponsored research were to advance the understanding of prosthodontics-related biological and/or materials systems, human behavior, cost and care delivery, as well as economic modeling and quality of life investigations.
Sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare through an unrestricted educational grant, single-year funding to initiate or foster research in these areas were awarded to an ACP member prosthodontist and to his/her institution. This research grant was open to prosthodontist members (Members, Fellows, International Members, International Fellows) of the ACP who were full-time faculty at a US or a Canadian dental school or a related academic institution. Applicants were within 10 years of their first academic appointment after completing their ADA accredited prosthodontic residency and showed outstanding promise in their research area.
