Opportunity Summary:
The ARRA Equipment to Enhance Training for Health Professionals (EETHP) grant opportunity, titled "Grants to States to Support Oral Health Workforce Activities," is a discretionary Recovery Act (ARRA) funding announcement released by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to help states purchase equipment that strengthens oral health workforce training and related state oral health capacity. This opportunity is part of a broader HRSA "EETHP Equipment Initiative" that spans 21 different health professional training programs authorized under Titles III, VII, and VIII of the Public Health Service Act. While the overarching aim across the initiative is consistent, each program has its own statutory and programmatic requirements, so HRSA issued separate announcements for each eligible program. This specific announcement is only for applicants that are eligible under the "Grants to States to Support Oral Health Workforce Activities" program, and the equipment requested must directly support the activities and goals of that oral health workforce program.
The basic purpose of the funding is equipment acquisition, not general operating support. Applicants are expected to request training-related equipment that enables, expands, or improves state efforts tied to oral health workforce development and the kinds of workforce-focused activities described in the underlying program guidance. States are required to address one or more of thirteen allowable activities listed in that guidance, meaning proposals need to connect the equipment purchase to concrete, permissible program actions and explain how the equipment will be used to produce measurable outcomes. Importantly, an applicant does not have to be a current grantee under the oral health workforce program to apply, but it must meet the eligibility rules of that program.
Eligibility is limited to governor-appointed state government entities, and each state may submit only one application. The primary intended applicant appears to be the designated State Oral Health Program, but other state governmental entities may apply if they demonstrate alignment and coordination. If a state entity other than the designated State Oral Health Program submits the application, the application should include, at a minimum, a letter of support from either the governor or the designated State Oral Health Program that describes how the oral health program will be involved in the project. In addition, the applicant must provide an assurance that it has sufficient infrastructure to manage the funded activities and to evaluate, track, and report outcomes tied to those activities. This places emphasis on project management capacity, compliance, and performance reporting, not simply on buying equipment.
From a funding and award structure standpoint, HRSA anticipated making about 200 awards with an estimated total program funding level of $50,000,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a $5,000 floor to a $300,000 ceiling. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically lowers barriers for state participation and allows states to scale requests based on need, readiness, and their planned activity scope. Because this is classified under the Recovery Act funding activity category, proposals would generally be expected to align with ARRA priorities such as timely spending, clear outcomes, and transparent reporting.
Key dates for the opportunity show it was posted February 26, 2010, with an application closing date of March 26, 2010, and an archive date of May 25, 2010. The funding opportunity number is HRSA-10-183. Applicants seeking full announcement materials were directed to HRSA's web listing and could contact the HRSA Call Center for help accessing the announcement or resolving submission issues.
