This article, written by current student trainees within various intramural programs at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), describes how the NIH experience weaves world‐class interdisciplinary research into the education of future oral healthcare professionals. This article highlights 4 programs and provides perspectives from current NIH student trainees on the significance of their programs to their career growth in an effort to increase program awareness for faculty and students, thus escalating participation of predental and dental students in programs at the NIH. Although the number of individuals pursuing careers in oral health research has been alarmingly few, dentistry is in a unique position to drastically expand its collaborative scientific workforce. Research must be integrated into the training of increased numbers of future dental professionals. This article describes how NIH programs address specific needs of the dental profession, including reducing disparities, advancing evidence‐based personalized medicine, and solving multidisciplinary health challenges.
