Opportunity Summary:
The ARRA Dental Faculty Loan Repayment opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 10-260) was a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under CFDA 93.403, ARRA Grants for Training in Primary Care Medicine and Dentistry Training and Enhancement. Its main purpose was to help general, pediatric, and public health dentistry training programs strengthen their faculty pipelines by using grant funds to repay the student loan debt of individuals who commit to serving full time as faculty members. In practical terms, the grant supported the creation or operation of a loan repayment arrangement where a qualifying dental education program agrees to pay the principal and interest on a participant's outstanding educational loans, and in exchange the participant agrees to teach full time as faculty in that program.
The program targeted training settings connected to primary care dentistry, specifically general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, and public health dentistry, and it also explicitly included dental hygiene within the meaning of "primary care dentistry" and "dental faculty" unless otherwise noted. The intent was to reduce a major barrier to academic careers in dentistry and dental hygiene, since educational debt often pushes graduates toward private practice rather than faculty roles. By offsetting loan burdens, the program aimed to attract and retain instructors who could expand the training capacity of the primary care oral health workforce.
Eligible applicants were entities involved in training in general, pediatric, or public health dentistry or dental hygiene. This included accredited dental schools or dental hygiene schools, as well as public or private nonprofit hospitals and other public or nonprofit entities that plan, develop, operate, or participate in approved professional training programs in those fields. The supported trainees could include dental or dental hygiene students, residents, practicing dentists or dental hygienists, or other approved primary care dental trainees, as long as the training emphasis aligned with general, pediatric, or public health dentistry. The announcement also allowed eligible entities to partner with schools of public health to support dental or dental hygiene trainees pursuing a Master of Public Health (MPH) in an accredited program. A key compliance point was that the training activities had to be conducted by an accredited entity, meaning either the applicant itself or the partner organization responsible for the dental or dental hygiene training needed to hold the appropriate accreditation.
Financially, the opportunity offered an estimated total funding amount of $2,500,000 with an expected 20 awards, and it did not require cost sharing or matching. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the activity category was health. The opportunity was posted on April 28, 2010, with an application closing date of May 28, 2010, and it was later archived on July 27, 2010, reflecting that it was a time-limited ARRA-era funding announcement.
Applicants seeking the full announcement and detailed requirements were directed to HRSA's grant listing page (the Additional Information Link provided in the source data). For access issues, HRSA provided support through the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.gov and the listed phone numbers).
