IE-019 - From Pathways to Access: ADEA COS Impact

Monday, March 23, 2026
1:30 PM - 2:30 PM EDT
Location: Room 511 C, F, Fifth Floor, Palais
CE: 1
This session highlights how the ADEA Council of Sections (COS) Program and Research Funds support innovation, collaboration, and scholarly impact in dental and allied dental education. Participants will gain a clear overview of each fund’s purpose, application timeline, and required documentation and reporting. Recent fund awardees will share practical insights, lessons learned, and recommendations for developing strong proposals and managing funded projects. The session concludes with an interactive workshop that facilitates idea exchange and collaboration across Sections, SIGs, and Councils, helping participants identify future project opportunities aligned with COS priorities.

Learning Objectives:

  • Differentiate between the ADEA COS Program Fund and Research Fund, including their goals, application processes, timelines, and reporting requirements.
  • Apply insights from recent fund awardees to strengthen proposal development, project planning, and outcome documentation.
  • Identify potential collaborators and project ideas aligned with COS funding priorities through structured peer engagement and discussion.
