Opportunity Summary:
The ARRA Equipment to Enhance Training for Health Professionals (EETHP) opportunity, issued by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 10 245, was a discretionary grant program designed to help health professional training programs purchase equipment that directly strengthens education and training capacity. This particular announcement was one of a broader EETHP Equipment Initiative that covered 24 different health professions training programs authorized under Titles III, VII, and VIII of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act. While the initiative shared common overall goals across all programs, HRSA separated eligibility and requirements into distinct announcements so applicants could apply under the specific statutory authority that matched their training program.
This specific grant targeted the Faculty Development Training in General, Pediatric, and Public Health Dentistry and Dental Hygiene program area. The central purpose was to improve the pipeline and preparation of oral health educators by supporting the planning, development, and operation of training programs for oral health care providers who intend to teach (or who are already teaching) in general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, public health dentistry, and dental hygiene. The broader faculty development program described in the announcement also encompasses financial assistance mechanisms such as traineeships and fellowships for dentists preparing for academic roles, and support for projects that establish, maintain, or improve dental faculty development programs. Under the EETHP Equipment Initiative, however, the focus of funding in this announcement was specifically on equipment purchases, and applicants were expected to justify how requested equipment would advance the goals and activities of faculty development and training in these dentistry and dental hygiene disciplines.
Funding was substantial at the initiative level, with an estimated total of 50,000,000 available for the opportunity, and HRSA anticipated making up to 200 awards. Individual award amounts ranged from a floor of 5,000 to a ceiling of 300,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The grant instrument type was a standard grant, categorized under the health funding activity area. Key dates reflected the ARRA-era rapid timeline: the opportunity was posted April 28, 2010, with an application closing date of May 20, 2010, and it was later archived on July 19, 2010.
Eligible applicants were specialized entities involved in accredited dental or dental hygiene education and training. HRSA indicated that entities eligible for grants to support training in general, pediatric, or public health dentistry included those with programs in dental or dental hygiene schools, as well as organizations with approved residency or advanced education programs in general, pediatric, or public health dentistry. The eligible organization types explicitly included accredited dental or dental hygiene schools, public or private nonprofit hospitals, and other public or nonprofit entities that could plan, develop, operate, or participate in approved professional training programs. These programs could serve dental students, dental hygiene students, residents, practicing dentists, practicing dental hygienists, and other approved primary care dental trainees, with an emphasis on general, pediatric, or public health dentistry. The announcement also clarified that, for its purposes, terms like "general, pediatric, and public health dentistry," "primary care dentistry," and "dental faculty" were intended to include dental hygiene unless otherwise specified, which broadened the scope to include faculty development and training capacity in dental hygiene education.
The accreditation requirement was central: training activities had to be conducted by an accredited entity, meaning either the applicant itself or a partner organization responsible for the dental or dental hygiene training needed to hold the appropriate accreditation. The announcement also allowed for partnerships, including collaboration with schools of public health to support dental and dental hygiene trainees pursuing a Master of Public Health in an accredited program, reinforcing the public health orientation embedded in the program design.
In practical terms, the opportunity funded equipment purchases that would enhance training infrastructure for developing and supporting dental and dental hygiene faculty in general, pediatric, and public health dentistry settings. Applicants needed to connect the equipment request directly to educational outcomes and training improvements aligned with faculty development, rather than treating equipment as a standalone capital purchase. For those who needed the complete announcement or had access issues, HRSA provided support through the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV and 877-464-4772), and the public listing included an additional information link hosted on the HRSA grants site.
