Opportunity Summary:
The ARRA Faculty Development in General, Pediatric, and Public Health Dentistry and Dental Hygiene opportunity (HRSA-10-263) was a discretionary grant program from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) designed to strengthen the dental primary care workforce by building the pipeline of future educators. The central purpose was to help institutions plan, develop, and operate training programs that prepare oral health providers who intend to teach in general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, public health dentistry, or dental hygiene. In addition to supporting program development and operations, the grant also aimed to expand the number of qualified teaching faculty by offering financial assistance through traineeships and fellowships, particularly targeted to dentists who plan to teach or who are already teaching in general, pediatric, or public health dentistry. Within the announcement, HRSA treats the terms "general, pediatric, and public health dentistry," "primary care dentistry," and "dental faculty" as inclusive of dental hygiene unless a specific exception is stated, meaning dental hygiene training and faculty development is a clear part of the program scope.
The funding was issued under CFDA 93.403 (ARRA Grants for Training in Primary Care Medicine and Dentistry Training and Enhancement) and was supported by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The total estimated funding listed for the competition was $20,000,000, with an expected 60 awards; however, the announcement explicitly notes that these totals reflect all dental primary care programs encompassed by the broader initiative, not just this single track in isolation. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically makes participation more accessible for eligible nonprofit and public institutions. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the activity category was health.
Eligible applicants were organizations capable of supporting accredited dental or dental hygiene education and training. HRSA indicated that grants could be made to accredited dental or dental hygiene schools, public or private nonprofit hospitals, and other public or nonprofit entities that plan to develop, operate, or participate in an approved professional training program in general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, public health dentistry, or dental hygiene. The program could serve a range of learners, including dental and dental hygiene students, dental residents, practicing dentists, practicing dental hygienists, and other approved primary care dental trainees. A key condition was that 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 be accredited. The announcement also allowed eligible entities to partner with schools of public health to support dental students, residents, or dental hygiene students who pursue a Master of Public Health (MPH) within an accredited program, reflecting an emphasis on integrating population health and public health competencies into oral health training.
The application timeline shows the opportunity was posted on April 28, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 28, 2010, and an archive date of July 20, 2010.
