ADA Forsyth Institute receives boon from NIDCR

Researchers from the ADA Forsyth Institute received just under $10 million in funding from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research during the federal fiscal year 2023, placing fourth on NIDCR’s annual list of national rankings.

“We have ranked in the top five dental institutions in nine out of the past 10 years,” said Wenyuan Shi, Ph.D., the institute’s CEO. “We have placed in the top 10 nationally every year since the ranking system began in 2002, despite having one of the smallest faculty sizes among all ranked programs.”

The institute has also ranked number 1 in Boston every year since 2009.

“Congratulations to all the researchers at AFI and our amazing collaborators around the world,” said Ben Wu, Ph.D., D.D.S., chief operating officer and chief scientific officer at the institute. “The sustained excellence and double-digit growth (17.4%) in (fiscal year) 2023 are truly impressive. Our relocation to a state-of-the-art research facility in 2025 will substantially enhance our research infrastructure and scientific instrumentation, ensuring the expansion of our innovative team and perpetuation of excellence.”
