Opportunity Summary:
The Oral Health Training and Technical Assistance National Cooperative Agreement (HRSA-11-180) was a discretionary funding opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) designed to strengthen access to primary oral health care for underserved and vulnerable populations. The central aim was not to directly fund clinical services, but to build the capacity of organizations already delivering care or supporting the safety net by providing specialized, national-level training and technical assistance (T/TA). In practice, the cooperative agreement model signaled an expectation of close collaboration with HRSA, with the awardee working alongside the agency to shape, refine, and carry out T/TA activities aligned with HRSA priorities.
The program targeted HRSA-funded awardees and key primary care support entities that influence how services are organized and expanded across communities. Specifically, intended recipients of training and technical assistance included HRSA-supported service delivery and workforce programs, Primary Care Associations (PCAs), State Offices of Rural Health (SORHs), and Primary Care Offices (PCOs). The emphasis was on increasing access to primary oral health care services, which commonly involves helping safety-net providers integrate oral health into primary care settings, improve referral and care coordination models, expand preventive services, and strengthen the oral health workforce and operational readiness needed to serve high-need groups.
Funding for the opportunity was estimated at $550,000 total, with HRSA expecting to make one award. The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement under the Health funding activity category, and the associated CFDA number listed was 93.129 (Technical and Non-Financial Assistance to Health Centers). There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, lowering barriers for eligible organizations to apply and allowing the federal funds to fully support the proposed national training and technical assistance effort.
Eligibility was broad but expertise-driven. HRSA indicated that eligible applicants could include public entities, nonprofit organizations, and for-profit entities, as long as they had demonstrated expertise in oral health service delivery and the ability to provide oral health training and technical assistance on a national basis. The announcement also highlighted that the T/TA should be capable of reaching community-based organizations, including tribal and faith-based organizations, reflecting an intent to ensure relevance across diverse settings and to support organizations serving populations that often face systemic access barriers.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on May 25, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 30, 2011. The opportunity was archived on August 29, 2011. Applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement were directed to contact the HRSA Call Center via CallCenter@HRSA.GOV or by phone at 877-464-4772 (877-Go4-HRSA), with an additional number listed as 301-998-7373.
