Causal Hypotheses on the Oral-Systemic Health Impacts of Human Behaviors among People with Chronic Conditions
Funds research testing causal links between everyday human behaviors and oral-systemic health outcomes in people with chronic conditions.
Behavior drives a lot of health outcomes, and the link between what people do and what happens to their mouths and the rest of their body is still mostly untested as cause and effect. This notice funds studies that try to prove the chain, not just describe it.
What counts as a cause is defined broadly: biological, biopsychosocial, congenital, environmental, interpersonal, neurological, psychologi…
Investigator-initiated research testing causal hypotheses — biological, biopsychosocial, congenital, environmental, interpersonal, neurological, psychological or comorbidity factors, alone or combined — that link human behaviors to oral-systemic health outcomes in people with chronic conditions, including projects that only develop or refine such a hypothesis. A clinical trial is not allowed.
