Opportunity Summary:
The ARRA Equipment to Enhance Training for Health Professionals (EETHP) initiative, run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), was a one-time equipment-focused grant opportunity funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. It sat within a larger HRSA effort covering 21 different health professional training programs authorized under Titles III, VII, and VIII of the Public Health Service Act. Each program in the initiative had its own separate funding announcement, and this particular notice (HRSA-10-259) was specifically targeted to postdoctoral training programs in general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, and public health dentistry (with dental hygiene treated as included in those terms unless otherwise stated). The main purpose was straightforward: provide funding so eligible training institutions could purchase training equipment that directly strengthens and supports their postdoctoral dental training activities and program goals.
The opportunity was structured as a discretionary grant, with HRSA expecting to make a large number of awards (estimated around 200) from an estimated total funding amount of $50,000,000. Individual awards ranged from a minimum (floor) of $5,000 to a maximum (ceiling) of $300,000. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which meant applicants were not required to contribute a specific percentage of non-federal funds to receive an award. The program timeline was also very compressed, consistent with ARRA-era funding: the announcement was posted April 29, 2010, and applications were due May 20, 2010, with the opportunity later archived July 16, 2010.
Eligibility centered on organizations that operate or participate in accredited dental or dental hygiene education and training pathways tied to primary care dentistry. Eligible applicants included accredited dental or dental hygiene schools, public or private nonprofit hospitals, and other public or nonprofit entities that plan, develop, operate, or participate in approved professional training programs in general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, public health dentistry, or dental hygiene. The announcement emphasized that training activities must 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. The program also recognized training partnerships, including the option for eligible entities to partner with schools of public health to support education leading to a Master of Public Health (MPH) for dental students, residents, and dental hygiene students in an accredited program.
In practical terms, the funding was meant to modernize or expand the physical and instructional capacity of postdoctoral dental training programs by purchasing equipment used in training environments. While the announcement text does not list specific allowable equipment types in the excerpt provided, it is clear the equipment request had to be tied directly to the training mission of postdoctoral general, pediatric, and public health dentistry programs, rather than being a general institutional upgrade. Importantly, applicants did not have to be current HRSA grantees to apply; they simply had to meet the eligibility standards associated with the underlying Postdoctoral Training in General, Pediatric and Public Health Dentistry program.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number HRSA-10-259, the agency (HRSA), and the official information link hosted through HRSA’s grants portal.
