The MOST Program prepares students and postdoctoral fellows to shape the future of oral health research and clinical care. MOST fellows work with world-class faculty, use cutting-edge technology and explore new directions from the bench to the bedside.

The MOST Program is located on UIC's West Campus, at the heart of a major medical research center and just minutes from downtown Chicago. Our location gives us easy access to a diverse range of cutting-edge research, a diverse patient population and, when we're not working, everything that Chicago has to offer: miles of open lakefront, great culture, dining and sports.

Publication Guidelines (for both predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees)

NIH Public Access Requirements

All individuals supported by the MOST program (including individually NIH-funded fellowship grants) must comply with NIH's requirement for public access to publications.  In short, all trainees must ensure that any publication that results from the research conducted while they are in the MOST Program is accessible to the public at no cost.  It is imperative that trainees understand the public access rules, comply with the policy and provide a PMC ID number whenever the publication is cited.  Below are links to resources that provide more information on the policy and how to comply with it:

NIHMS (National Institutes of Health Manuscript Submission): overview of the policy
NIHMS: answers to common FAQs

Funding Acknowledgements

Any abstracts and manuscripts that include data produced during the time that a trainee is supported must include a written acknowledgement of the support of NIH grant T32-DE018381
