To date, the Foundation has funded well over 1,800 annual grants and scholarships totaling $3.5 million and continues to grant in excess of $250,000 per annum to researchers, academics and students to continue their dental research.

The successful applicants emerge from a rigorous process that involves countless hours of assessment by two independent external reviewers and the highly-experienced, qualified acedemics of the ADRF Research Advisory Committee. Each application is then reviewed by two independent external reviews to determine the highest scoring applications in a given year.

In December of each year, those recipients who have completed their research and handed in their final reports have the abstracts of their final reports published in a Special Research Supplement in the Australian Dental Journal.
