The Advanced Innovation Grants (AIG) provide funding for projects that have moved beyond the initial stages of development and are ready for larger-scale application and multicenter research. With typical awards around $100,000, the program supports research with strong potential for real-world implementation and impact in orthodontic practice.
AIG emphasizes a translational focus, backing projects that can lead to tangible outcomes—such as new technologies, techniques, or methodologies—that improve patient care and advance orthodontic treatment. The program also encourages collaboration across academia, industry, and research institutions to promote multidisciplinary solutions.
Proposals must demonstrate feasibility and scalability, showing that the innovation is not only scientifically valid but also practical and adaptable for broader clinical use. The grant supports projects capable of bridging the gap between research and widespread clinical adoption.
