For the first time, dental health begins to decline among six-year-olds. Do do you have interesting ideas about health promotion and links between public health and the individual’s dental and oral health? You may apply for this year’s R & D funds – 6 October 6 until November 6, 2017.
The applicant may be a social worker, psychologist, dentist or completely different starting points. It is about finding new approaches to the relationship between dental health and public health. There are many health-promoting perspectives that need to be highlighted to find the right measures that can improve or preserve the health of individuals and families. And also to change the dental structures and strengthen cooperation with more parts of society.
The areas that need to be highlighted, include such as the importance of dental and oral health for the individual’s self-esteem and the opportunity to be a part of society.
Everyone in Västra Götaland may apply.
The funds can be sought by public and private healthcare providers, research units, organizations and associations locally active in Västra Götaland. Region Västra Götaland particularly welcomes research that takes place in collaboration between different actors. Contributions can also be sought for epidemiological research with a health promotion perspective. Your application will be assessed by the Dentistry Unit.
Regardless of occupation and education, you are welcome to apply for funding for a research project. You must have a supervisor who holds a PhD – if you do not hold one yourself. To get a supervisor, you can contact one of the R & D leaders in Dental Care.
