Opportunity Summary:
The Grants to States to Support Oral Health Workforce Activities opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 10 070) is a discretionary grant program administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is authorized by Part D of Title III of the Public Health Service Act, Subpart X (Primary Dental Programs), specifically Section 340G (42 USC 256g). The central purpose of the program is to help states improve access to oral health care by strengthening and expanding the oral health workforce in places and among populations that have persistent shortages of dental professionals.
A key concept in this grant is the focus on shortage areas. The authorizing law references Section 340F, which defines a designated shortage area as an area, population group, or facility that is either (1) officially designated by the Secretary as a Dental Health Professional Shortage Area (Dental HPSA) under section 332, or (2) designated by the state itself as having a dental health manpower shortage. In practical terms, this means grant-supported activities are meant to target communities with well-documented gaps in dental workforce capacity, such as rural regions, underserved urban neighborhoods, and specific vulnerable groups that face barriers to obtaining dental services.
The program is designed explicitly to help states address demonstrated oral health workforce needs, meaning applicants are expected to show evidence that shortages exist and that proposed strategies are tied to those documented needs. While the summary text provided does not list specific allowable activities, the program title and statutory intent indicate that proposed efforts should be workforce-oriented and access-focused, such as initiatives that improve recruitment, retention, distribution, and capacity of dental professionals serving underserved communities.
Funding for the announcement is estimated at a total of $8,000,000, with an expected 16 awards. The assistance listing is associated with CFDA 93.236 (Grants to States to Support Oral Health Workforce Activities). The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants should plan for non-federal contributions as part of the project budget and be prepared to document and account for the match in accordance with the program rules described in the full notice.
Eligibility is limited to state-level entities. Specifically, the eligible applicants are the Designated State Oral Health Program or other government-approved state government entities, as clarified in the announcement's eligibility section. This structure reflects the program's intent to support statewide planning and implementation capacity, rather than funding individual clinics or local organizations directly. The applications were originally posted February 26, 2010, with an application closing date of April 12, 2010, and the opportunity was later archived on June 11, 2010.
For applicants or stakeholders needing the full details (including application requirements, the scope of work, budget rules, reporting expectations, and match specifics), HRSA provided an official additional information link through its grants portal. HRSA also listed its Call Center as the support contact for access issues, reachable by email at CallCenter@HRSA.GOV and by phone at 877 464 4772 (also listed as 877 Go4 HRSA), with an alternate number shown as 301 998 7373.
