Temporomandibular Joint and Muscle Disorders
(TMJMDs): Pathophysiological Mechanisms Linking
Comorbid Conditions. The purpose of this Funding
Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to stimulate research
on discovering etiological and pathophysiological
mechanisms underlying a set of chronic, comorbid
conditions associated with TMJMDs. TMJMDs are a
complex collection of diseases involving one or more
tissues of the TMJ and facial musculature. Primary
symptoms include chronic pain in facial muscles and
limited and painful movement of the jaw. In addition, these Budgets for direct costs of up
