Do you have an idea for research which you would like to get off the ground? Or perhaps you are already running a study which you wish to expand or extend?

As the leading UK dental journal, the BDJ is always keen to promote dental research. To further facilitate collaboration between dental researchers, general dental practitioners, dental industry and funding bodies, we are introducing a new space in the Upfront section of the BDJ entitled: 'Calls for collaboration'.

We invite you to send your requests for collaboration to us for this section and we will publish these to help you to find assistance among the wider dental community.

Please send any 'Calls for collaboration' to BDJ News Editor, Kate Quinlan by email to k.quinlan@nature.com. You should briefly (max. 300 words) describe your research and what type of collaboration you are seeking.
