foster and provide financial support to young academic researchers.

applicants must be in the first five years of an academic

The Colgate CARE Program advances Colgate-Palmolive’s Know Your
OQ™ public health initiative to improve oral health literacy
worldwide. The Know Your OQ™ educational campaign empowers people
to discover their Oral Health Quotient by exploring their
understanding of the links between oral health and overall health
all while learning about proven, preventive strategies and
interventions necessary for improving oral health.
“Oral health has significant physical, social, economic, and
emotional consequences. That’s why it’s critical that we learn as
much as we can about all aspects of oral health through innovative
research. I’m proud that the Colgate CARE Program not only advances
our understanding of oral health, but also contributes to our
company’s mission to educate people about its importance,” said Dr.
Ryan.
