9. AADR’s Role in Supporting Dental Schools’ Research Mission

10. Revised CODA Standard 6 – Research Program 6-1 Research, the process of scientific inquiry involved in the development and dissemination of new knowledge, must be an integral component of the purpose/mission, goals and objectives of the dental school. 6-2 The dental school faculty, as appropriate to meet the school’s purpose/mission, goals and objectives, must engage in research or other forms of scholarly activity and provide opportunities for students to participate. 6-3 Dental education programs must provide opportunities, encourage, and support student participation in research and other scholarly activities mentored by faculty.

11. Revised CODA Standard 6 – Research Program Intent: The dental education program should provide students with opportunities to experience research including, but not limited to, biomedical, translational, educational, epidemiologic and clinical research. Such activities should align with clearly defined research mission and goals of the institution. The dental education program should introduce students to the principles of research and provide elective opportunities beyond basic introduction, including how such research is conducted and evaluated, and where appropriate, conveyed to patients and other practitioners, and applied in clinical settings.
