Baltimore Meeting a Success - International Association for Dental
Vol. 27 Spring, 2005 www.dentalresearch.org Baltimore Meeting a Success A Message from the President Takayuki Kuroda I W ith a total registration of 5,764 people from 63 countries and 47 states, the 83rd General Session & Exhibition of the IADR in Baltimore, MD, joined the ranks of the most successful meetings in the history of the Association. Baltimore was also the venue for the 34th Annual Meeting of the American Association for Dental Research (AADR) and the 29th Annual Meeting of the Canadian Association for Dental Research (CADR). The meeting included: 3,712 accepted abstracts (820 orals, 2,854 posters), six Hands-on Workshops, 29 Symposia, 36 Lunch & Learning speakers, 25 Keynote Addresses, three Plenary Session speakers, the first featuring the W.J. Gies Distinguished Scientist Lecture (J. Bernard Machen [President, University of Florida], speaking on "From Proprietary Trade School to Integral Component of the Academic Health CenterThe Long Journey to Academic Acceptance"), and two satellite symposia. The other Plenary Session speakers were Elias A. Zerhouni (Director, US National Institutes of Health), who spoke on the "NIH Roadmap for Medical Research", and M. Michael Cohen (Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS, Canada), whose address was entitled "Hedgehog Signaling Network" (supported by Quintessence Publishing). Also featured were 96 exhibit booths representing 77 companies (56 corporations, 21 educational institutions and other organizations), Group business meetings and receptions, and the presentation of many awards and recognitions. About 60% of the (l-r) IADR President Paul Robertson, Vicepresident Stephen Bayne, and Presidentelect Takayuki Kuroda at the Opening Ceremonies. registrants were members of the IADR. After an entertaining program of American popular music presented by The Alexandria Singers, the Opening Ceremonies began with the opening gavel from IADR President Paul Robertson (University of Washington, Seattle, USA), who acknowledged the extraordinary challenges faced by IADR members in Southeast Asia in the aftermath of the devastating tsunami in December. He also called attention to the many visible reminders of the new look of, and new content in, the Journal of Dental Research, each issue of which now includes two papers from Critical Reviews in Oral Biology & Medicine. President Continued on page 2 . . . t is a great honor and privilege for me to be President of the IADR for 2005-2006. I have had the privilege of working closely with my immediate predecessor, Paul Robertson, and have learned much under his guidance. His leadership over the past year will never be forgotten by all IADR members. On behalf of the IADR, I would like to express our heartfelt thanks to Immediate Past President Robertson. It will not be easy for me to follow in the brilliant footsteps of the Past Presidents of the IADR. I will try to do my best for all IADR members to maintain and to further our organization’s activities. The General Session & Exhibition of the IADR/AADR/CADR in Baltimore was successful, thanks to the efforts of Executive Director Christopher Fox and the Central Office staff. We could count more than 5,550 delegates from 63 countries, with 2,854 poster presentations, 820 oral presentations, 29 symposia, six Hands-on Workshops, and 37 Lunch & Learning speakers.

These individuals act as prime reviewers for manuscripts submitted for publication and can make a real impact on the quality of the JDR. The selection procedure is conducted by the IADR/AADR Publications Committee, which seeks the broadest possible scientific and geographic representation on the Board. Letters of nomination, along with a curriculum vitae or other statement of credentials, should be sent by September 1, 2005, to: Dr. George Taylor, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (gwt@umich.edu). The Central Office contact person is Natasha Power, Editorial Assistant (npower@iadr.org). l In Memoriam The IADR regrets to report the deaths of the following colleagues in 2004: Frank Besic, Madison, WI Neal Chilton, Lawrenceville, NJ Norman Corah, Buffalo, NY Norma de Sznajder, Buenos Aires, Argentina Keith Heller, Iowa City, IA Takao Kawasaki, Sapporo, Japan Robert Lorey, Ann Arbor, MI Allen Olinger, San Francisco, CA Richard Oringer, Stony Brook, NY Gunnar Svanberg, Germantown, TN José Tessler, Buenos Aires, Argentina Robert Troxler, Boston, MA l 8 A t a time when most teens are worrying about SATs, college applications, and prom dates, 16-year-old Rozina Khouryawad, a junior at John F. Kennedy High School in Bellmore, NY, is thinking about "in vitro fibroblast growth on GTR materials"…the title of the abstract she presented at the recent 83rd General Session of the IADR in Baltimore, MD. Rozina is believed to be the youngest person ever to present at an IADR meeting. Mentored by several faculty at the New York University College of Dentistry, she presented her work as a poster in an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery session. By no means "one-dimensional", Rozina enjoys a full range of high school activities, and currently serves as President of the Art Club. She plans to pursue research into college and beyond. l Can You Serve on a Committee? Committees are the backbone of the IADR and AADR, and each year the Presidents-elect seek a wide variety of volunteers, representing as many geographic areas and scientific disciplines as possible, to fill committee vacancies. If you are interested in serving on an IADR committee, beginning in 2006, contact IADR President-elect Stephen Bayne (stephen_bayne@dentistry.unc.edu). Those interested in volunteering for service on an AADR committee should contact AADR President-elect E. Dianne Rekow (edr1@nyu.edu). Please include a brief autobiographical sketch to allow the Presidents-elect to make a more informed decision. For more information on IADR and AADR Committees, and the level of involvement required for each, please contact Marissa Naspinski (mnaspinski@iadr.org) at the IADR Central Office. You CAN make a difference! l IADR and AADR Councils Approve Online JDR as an IADR Membership Benefit B eginning in January, 2006, all IADR and AADR members will receive online access to the Journal of Dental Research as part of their membership dues. The JDR has the highest Scientific Impact Factor of any dental journal in the world, and each issue now contains two papers from Critical Reviews in Oral Biology & Medicine. This dramatic and exciting action marks the first time in the 84-year history of the IADR that ALL members will receive the official publication, regardless of geographic location. Council believes that, since the JDR is co-owned by the IADR and the AADR, and is truly an international publication, this step is critical to protecting its future. l IADR Reports.....Vol. 27 President’s Message...continued from p.1 instructive and informative for the audiences who filled the lecture hall. The Annual Session Committee expresses grateful thanks to the Group Program Chairs and Reviewers who worked hard through such a short period to complete the necessary abstract review and programming process. In this Baltimore meeting, there were some modifications to the traditional meeting schedule. Oral sessions occurred only in the morning, and posters were available for viewing all day long, with poster presentations scheduled in the afternoon. This greatly increased attendance at oral sessions, with most meeting rooms at least 80% full. Another innovation was "Practitioner Day" on Saturday, where we welcomed 80 general practitioners to a program designed to transfer our scientific knowledge to the daily practice. For a first effort, the day was very successful. There will be other "tests" in the Brisbane meeting next year to explore new meeting formats and bring more scientific excitement to IADR members, and also open our doors to general practitioners through our scientific technology transfer programs. President-elect Steve Bayne, as the next Annual Session Committee Chair, welcomes your suggestions. The IADR Council meeting allowed for good discussion on several important subjects, such as online access to the Journal of Dental Research as a membership benefits, dues increase, and revisions to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the IADR and the AADR. Dr. Deborah Greenspan was welcomed as the new IADR Vice-president, and Dr. Angus Walls was also welcomed as the new Treasurer. The Regional Board Members, Drs. Jeroen Kroon, Mariano Sanz, Yupin Songpaisan, José Luiz Lage-Marques, and Richard Ellen, have been added to the Regional Development Program committee ex officio. We can expect the weight of all Committee functions to increase. As I stated in my President-elect’s speech in Baltimore, the Board reviews and discusses the Strategic Plan of the IADR each year. We have adopted several strategic recommendations in our structure and functions. However, there are still some issues we need to address in coming years. For example, membership growth is stagnant in several countries. Young faculty and graduate students tend to present their research at meetings other than the IADR because of the more exciting responses they can expect from other meetings. Regarding meeting attendance, researchers from some regions cannot come to meetings outside of their countries due to high travel costs. Also, we have to consider restructuring our research group classification, because, as all of us recognize, there have been changes in research focus or research interests in our field. More interdisciplinary approaches and collaborative research with other professional scientific fields have become increasingly important. Our research outcomes affect not only oral health care but also general health promotion. There are not as many research topics just for "Dentistry". We should have more members from outside the dental field. The great difference in numbers of members among the various research Groups is dramatic. All these issues relate to the need to reconsider the meeting format and its effect on our meeting budget. Another issue is that recent economic crises, war, disease, and the fear of terrorism combine to reduce meeting attendance. From these points of view, the important responsibilities of Federations expand significantly. It is my pleasure to work together with Board members to find a solution. I wish to take this opportunity to thank the staff in the Central Office of IADR for their continuing support and commitment to the Association, and I look forward to working with them in the year ahead. Please feel free to contact me with any issues regarding future directions for the IADR. I look forward to working with you to ensure another successful year for the IADR. — Takayuki Kuroda, DDS.,PhD.

Amount funded $80,000 IADR Reports.....Vol. 27 Promoting Research in Developing Regions A Request for Regional Development Proposals from IADR Divisions and Sections Rationale/Program Description The purpose of this Request for Proposal (RFP) is to identify projects, submitted by IADR Divisions/Sections that would help initiate research and development or otherwise strengthen the oral health research infrastructure in developing regions. In response to appropriate proposals, grants will be awarded to Divisions/Sections subject to the availability of funds and approval by the IADR Board of Directors. The size of individual grants will vary, depending on the number and quality of proposals submitted and the amount of funding available. Although it is desirable to encourage the development of a research infrastructure in as many developing regions as possible, consideration will be given to supporting ongoing initiatives that have demonstrated an ability to promote research development. Divisions/Sections currently having welldeveloped oral health research efforts may submit proposals whose objective is to assist adjacent regions/Divisions/Sections that do not have such capacity. Where appropriate, regional coalitions of Divisions are encouraged to join together to submit proposals and implement programs. Wherever possible, the use of matching funds to enhance the effort is encouraged. Examples of projects eligible for support include: training workshops and grants, improving access to scientific information, provision of scientific journals, fellowship and lecture programs, communications infrastructures, training in research methods, and surveys of oral health that would identify further research needs and provide experience in conducting research for participants, as well as other programs which would advance oral/dental health research, and improve communications and collaborations in the oral health scientific community in the region and internationally. Proposals are reviewed twice annually. The next submission deadlines are October 1, 2005, and March 1, 2006. Focus of Proposals Although a range of projects is eligible for support, the IADR has decided to emphasize certain areas. The highest priority will be placed on those targeting support for: • young scientists’ development by supporting attendance at appropriate local, regional, or international meetings to present the results of their research; • mentoring of developing scientists, e.g., travel for established scientists to work on site with students/developing researchers for various periods of time (short "visiting lecture" programs will not be considered for funding); and • initiation/enhancement of newsletters or other communication systems, e.g., use of the World Wide Web (www), that describe and promote local oral health research activities. Proposals should not exceed five (5) typewritten pages (approximately 1,000 words) and should be submitted in the following format (www.dentalresearch.org): Background Grant applications should include a brief historical background of the Division/Section making the application and any experience it has had in conducting activities promoting an oral health research infrastructure or activities. The region/institution to be targeted may be within the Division/Section or in an adjacent region, and it should be described. Objectives List the specific objectives to be achieved. Program Description/Evaluation Applications should include a full description of the proposed program(s), project(s), initiative(s), or infrastructure development and how the targeted area would be affected. The description should include a methodology, a time line, and a plan to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. Financial Request/ Matching Support A grant program budget should be provided. Please indicate the amount in US dollars for each aspect of the program and the time line required to implement the program outlined above. Indicate if university, institution, association, or corporate support will be added to this grant, the length of this financial commitment, the US$ amount, and the number of personnel who will supplement the grant program. Describe the institutional support, name the responsible institutional officials, and include a signed letter of support from the institution. Research Publication Grant applicants should indicate if the results of this grant will be submitted for publication in a professional journal or presentation at a scientific meeting. If so, the name of the journal or meeting should be included. Approval of the grant is not contingent upon publication or presentation. Reporting No later than (4) months after the completion date of the project, as described in Part III above, the Division/Section shall provide a written report to the IADR Central Office describing the results of the initiative. The description should follow the evaluation plan outlined in Part III. A summary report should be submitted for publication in IADR Reports and on the Web site (www.dentalresearch.org). Application Each Division/Section may present only one proposal per grant cycle. To apply for a grant, a Division or Section should submit a signed original and two copies of the grant proposal in English to the IADR Central Office in Alexandria, Virginia, USA, no later than October 1 or March 1. Proposals should be typewritten in the format outlined above. Grant applications that lack the required information will be returned to the originators with an explanation of the proposal’s shortcomings. All grant applications will be evaluated and approved or rejected by the IADR Board of Directors. Applicants will be notified of the status of their submissions prior to the formal announcement of funded proposals. The proposals will be evaluated according to the establishment of clear and measurable outcome variables. For example, a proposal to launch or enhance a newsletter should include a description of the number and size of issues to be produced within a specified period as well as a specific plan for continuation of the medium subsequent to the grant support period. Support for scientists beginning research careers should specify the number of those who are currently able to travel to meetings, the level of support for each scientist’s travel, and the additional number projected to attend national/international meetings as a result of the grant. l 13 IADR Reports.....Vol. 27 2005-2006 IADR Board of Directors and Committees Board of Directors Takayuki Kuroda, President Stephen Bayne, President-elect Deborah Greenspan, Vice-president Paul Robertson, Immediate Past President A.W.G.
