Recognizing the 75th anniversary of the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research and its critical role in improving the dental, oral, and craniofacial health of the United States through research, training, and the dissemination of health information.

House Resolution 1078 is a commemorative measure that officially recognizes the 75th anniversary of the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR). The resolution honors the institute’s history of scientific contributions, including its recent research into how viruses like COVID-19 spread in dental environments. While the bill does not change existing laws or provide new funding, it serves to formally acknowledge the NIDCR’s ongoing role in improving public health through dental research, professional training, and the distribution of health information to the American public.
