Opportunity Summary:

The Integration of Oral Health and Primary Care Practice Technical Assistance (IOHPCP) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-14-012) is a discretionary HRSA cooperative agreement designed to build a national technical assistance capability that helps health centers better integrate oral health into primary care. Rather than paying for direct clinical services, construction, or equipment, the program is centered on providing specialized, non-financial support to organizations that are already central to the safety net system: HRSA Health Center Program grantees funded under section 330 of the Public Health Service Act and HRSA-designated Health Center Look-Alikes. The overall public health intent is straightforward: accelerate practical, on-the-ground integration of oral health and primary care so that underserved and vulnerable populations can more easily access oral health care as part of routine primary care delivery.

At the heart of the award is hands-on implementation support. The awardee is expected to advise and assist health centers and Look-Alikes as they translate proven oral health implementation strategies into everyday primary care workflows. This includes helping sites move beyond planning and into sustainable operations, meaning the technical assistance should focus on the practical changes required to make integration stick over time, such as incorporating oral health risk assessment into medical visits, improving referral and follow-up processes between medical and dental teams, supporting team-based care approaches, and strengthening operational systems that allow integrated practice to function consistently. A key emphasis is not just adoption of ideas, but implementation of successful strategies in a way that becomes part of routine practice and can be maintained.

Another major component is national coordination and knowledge-sharing. The IOHPCP awardee is responsible for coordinating the network of entities receiving technical assistance so participants can share real-world experiences, identify challenges, and spread promising practices. In addition to supporting individual sites, the program is meant to generate broader value by disseminating data, products, tools, and resources developed through the project so they are publicly available. In practice, that means the work should leave behind reusable guidance and materials that other safety net providers can adopt, not just the organizations that directly receive technical assistance during the project period.

This opportunity was posted April 18, 2014 (created April 25, 2014) with an original and final closing date of June 19, 2014, and it was archived August 18, 2014. HRSA anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1), with an estimated total funding amount of $400,000. The listing references CFDA 93.129, labeled as Technical and Non-Financial Assistance to Health Centers. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0 in the provided source data, which typically indicates that specific limits were not captured in that field even though an estimated total program amount and expected number of awards were stated.

Eligibility is broad and includes public entities, nonprofit organizations, and for-profit entities, with the notice indicating “Others” and directing applicants to additional eligibility details in the full announcement. In short, HRSA was not limiting applicants to a narrow institutional type; instead, it was looking for an organization capable of operating at a national level to deliver and coordinate technical assistance that helps safety net primary care settings integrate oral health effectively.

The sponsoring agency is the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). For access issues or questions, HRSA directed applicants to the HRSA Grants Application Center and the HRSA Call Center (877-464-4772) or CallCenter@HRSA.GOV.
