The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is preparing to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the TMD Collaborative for Improving Patient-Centered Translational Research (TMD IMPACT), aimed at advancing research on Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD). This initiative seeks to establish a national, interdisciplinary collaborative focused on enhancing TMD research, improving clinical care, and training future researchers in the field. The program will support rigorous basic and clinical research, develop translational programs, and strengthen population-based studies to address the public health burden of TMDs. The estimated total funding for this opportunity is $7 million, with an award ceiling of $3.5 million for up to two expected awards. The NOFO is anticipated to be published in Summer 2024, with applications due in Winter 2024, and the project start date expected in July 2025.
