Opportunity Summary:
The Dental Reimbursement Program (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 09-133) is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under CFDA 93.924, part of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Dental Reimbursement and Community Based Dental Partnership Grants. Its purpose is to help dental education institutions offset the unreimbursed costs they absorb when providing oral health services to people with HIV. In practice, the program recognizes that many patients with HIV receive care in academic dental settings where a portion of the clinical care is not fully paid for by insurance, Medicaid, or other third-party sources, leaving schools and training programs to cover the remaining expenses. The grant funds are meant to partially reimburse those gaps so programs can sustain and expand access to necessary dental care for this population.
Eligible applicants are limited to accredited dental and dental hygiene education programs. This includes predoctoral dental programs (dental schools), postdoctoral dental education programs sponsored by a school of dentistry, a hospital, or another public or private institution that offers advanced dental training (such as dental specialties, advanced education in general dentistry, or general practice residencies), and dental hygiene programs accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA). The eligibility language ties back to programs described in federal statute (section 777(b)(4)(B) as it existed prior to the Health Professions Partnerships Education Act of 1998), which effectively narrows the applicant pool to specific recognized dental education entities rather than general nonprofit clinics or community organizations.
The application process is structured around an annual reporting and reimbursement model. Each eligible program may submit one application per year, and the application documents the unreimbursed costs the institution incurred in the prior year when delivering oral health care to patients with HIV. Rather than funding a new project proposal in the typical competitive sense, the program focuses on verified historical costs, meaning applicants are essentially demonstrating the financial shortfall associated with providing HIV-related oral health services in an educational clinical environment.
Funding is distributed across all eligible applicants, with allocations based on three main factors: the unreimbursed costs reported by each institution, the total unreimbursed costs reported collectively by all eligible applicants, and the overall amount of money Congress/HRSA has available for that year. This implies a formula-driven distribution where awards can vary depending on both an individual program's documented burden and the nationwide pool of need. For the referenced cycle, HRSA estimated total funding at $9,000,000 with an expected 65 awards, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for participation by institutions that might not be able to contribute additional funds.
Key administrative details from the archived announcement include a posted date of March 13, 2009, and a closing date of June 4, 2009 (with the opportunity archived August 14, 2009). The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is health. For support accessing the full announcement, HRSA directed applicants to the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV, 877-464-4772, and 301-998-7373).
