Opportunity Summary:
The ARRA Equipment to Enhance Training for Health Professionals (EETHP) opportunity for Predoctoral Training in General, Pediatric, and Public Health Dentistry (HRSA-10-258) was a one-time, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act-era grant competition run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to help dental education and training programs buy equipment that directly strengthens how they train the oral health workforce. It sat inside a larger EETHP "Equipment Initiative" that covered 21 different health professional training programs authorized under Titles III, VII, and VIII of the Public Health Service Act. Even though the initiative had shared, overarching goals, HRSA issued separate announcements for each eligible program area, and this specific announcement applied only to the predoctoral training pipeline for general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, and public health dentistry (with dental hygiene included in the scope unless specifically excluded).
At its core, the grant was designed to fund the purchase of training equipment, meaning tangible items used to educate and prepare students and trainees, rather than paying for routine operating costs or unrelated program expansion. The announcement emphasized that the requested equipment should clearly support the activities and goals of the underlying dentistry training program. In practical terms, applicants were expected to show how proposed equipment purchases would improve the quality, capacity, or effectiveness of training in primary care-oriented dentistry fields such as general, pediatric, and public health dentistry, and in dental hygiene when applicable. Because this was part of the broader EETHP initiative, applicants also had to align with the statutory requirements of the relevant HRSA oral health training authority, essentially demonstrating that they could carry out the program requirements as if they were funded for the full training program itself, even though this particular award focused on equipment.
The funding instrument was a discretionary grant, with no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed. HRSA anticipated making a large number of awards (an expected 200), backed by an estimated total funding pool of $50,000,000. The opportunity was posted and created on April 29, 2010, and it had a short application window with an original and current closing date of May 20, 2010. The opportunity later moved to archive status on July 19, 2010, consistent with a time-limited ARRA-style competition.
Eligibility was centered on entities that already had qualifying dental or dental hygiene education and training programs. 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 also clarified who the training could be for: dental or dental hygiene students, dental residents, practicing dentists or dental hygienists, and other approved primary care dental trainees. A key eligibility condition was that the entity had to be eligible for the underlying HRSA Training in General, Pediatric, and Public Health Dentistry program and be able to carry out its requirements, effectively tying equipment funding to legitimate, established training infrastructure and approved educational pathways.
Administratively, the opportunity was categorized under the "Health" activity area, and HRSA provided standard support channels for applicants who could not access the full announcement online, directing them to the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and phone contacts. The full announcement and related details were available through HRSA’s grants portal via the additional information link included in the notice.
