Opportunity Summary:
The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part F Dental Reimbursement Program (DRP) is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) grant opportunity designed to expand access to oral health care for low-income and underserved people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), while also strengthening the dental workforce trained to treat patients with HIV. The program focuses on both service delivery and professional education by supporting clinical training experiences for dental and dental hygiene students and dental residents who provide HIV-related oral health care in real-world settings.
At its core, the DRP works as a reimbursement mechanism rather than a traditional program expansion grant. It helps eligible dental education programs cover a portion of the unreimbursed (uncompensated or partially uncompensated) costs they incurred when providing oral health services to PLWHA. In practical terms, the funding is meant to offset costs that were not paid for by insurance, Medicaid, Ryan White funds from other sources, or patient payments. By reducing the financial burden associated with caring for patients who may have limited ability to pay, the DRP is intended to make it easier for dental training institutions to maintain or increase the amount of HIV oral health care they offer.
Eligibility is narrowly defined. Applicants must be accredited dental schools, postdoctoral dental education programs (such as specialty programs, advanced education in general dentistry, or general practice residencies), or accredited dental hygiene programs recognized by the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA). The announcement ties eligibility to institutions described under section 2692(b)(1)(B) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (with historical reference to the pre-1998 statutory language). A key requirement for this competition is that the applicant must already have provided uncompensated or partially uncompensated oral health care services to PLWHA during the defined service period of July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014. In other words, this opportunity is aimed at reimbursing qualifying past service costs rather than funding brand-new programs that did not deliver care during that time window.
The funding details reflect a national program with many potential recipients. HRSA anticipated making about 55 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $9.2 million. The opportunity is listed under Assistance Listing (CFDA) 93.924, Ryan White HIV/AIDS Dental Reimbursement and Community Based Dental Partnership Grants. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for academic programs and safety-net training clinics that may not have discretionary funds available to meet a match.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant competition offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through HRSA’s HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB). The funding opportunity number is HRSA-15-023. The opportunity was posted on January 28, 2015, with an application deadline of March 30, 2015, and it was later archived on May 29, 2015. Applicants were encouraged to align their proposals with broader national HIV goals and principles referenced by HRSA HAB, meaning programs should be able to describe how reimbursing these oral health services supports national efforts to improve health outcomes for PLWHA and reduce disparities in access to care.
