The British Endodontic Society (BES) has announced a new research grant of up to £40,000 in response to the current Covid-19 pandemic. The Society is inviting proposals from UK-based applicants wishing to undertake short-term research that addresses or mitigates the impacts of Aerosol Generating Procedures (AGPs) during the Covid-19 outbreak.

“The impact of Covid-19 on dentistry has been significant and as we begin to return to the ‘new normal’, we face a complex and evolving situation” said Dr Sanjeev Bhanderi, BES President. “There is an abundance of guidance available, but a common theme is the lack of robust evidence to guide the adoption of behaviours in practice. Many questions surround AGPs in dental practice and the interaction of these with Covid-19 so the BES is investing in research that will lead to a better understanding” he finished.

Applicants do not need to be BES members and the closing date for submissions is 15 July 2020. The application process is outlined on the BES website and all applications will be considered by the BES research panel appointed by the BES Council. Due to the immediacy of this research, the successful applicant will be notified by July 31st 2020. https://britishendodonticsociety.org.uk/profession/grants/call-for-research-to-address-the-impact-of-aerosol-generating-procedures-in-dentistry-with-respect-to-covid-19/
