Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part F Community Based Dental Partnership Program

This notice announces the opportunity to apply for funding under the fiscal year (FY) 2023 Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part F Community Based Dental Partnerships Program (CBDPP). The purpose of this program is to improve access to oral health care services for low income people with HIV in underserved geographic areas while simultaneously providing education and clinical training for dental students, dental hygiene students, dental residents, or other dental providers in community-based settings. CBDPPs will accomplish program goals through collaborations between dental and dental hygiene education programs recognized by the Commission on Dental Accreditation and community-based dental providers. This funding opportunity is open to current RWHAP Part F CBDPP recipients and new organizations proposing to provide RWHAP Part F CBDPP funded services in existing geographic service areas as described in Appendix A and one new service area as described below. Applications for existing service areas must address the entire service area as defined in Appendix A. Applicants not proposing to serve the entire published service area must demonstrate the availability of comprehensive oral health care services to all RWHAP eligible populations within the service area through partners or other RWHAP providers. Applicants requesting service area expansion beyond what is published in Appendix A must fully demonstrate the need for RWHAP Part F CBDPP funded services in that area. Applicants proposing to expand existing service areas cannot request funding above the amount listed in Appendix A. In addition, applications will be accepted from organizations proposing to provide oral health care services in a new geographic service area as described by the applicant. For the purposes of this NOFO, a new service area is a defined geographic area with a demonstrated need for oral health care services for low income people with HIV, not adequately covered by other sources of support. HRSA anticipates awarding one new service area for up to $300,000 under this notice. Newly proposed service areas must not geographically overlap partially or fully, with existing RWHAP Part F CBDPP service areas as described in Appendix A. Applicants applying for more than one service area must submit a separate application for each service area. For more details, see Program Requirements and Expectations.

Applicants are limited to accredited dental schools and other accredited dental education programs, such as dental hygiene programs, or those sponsored by a school of dentistry, a hospital, or a public or private institution that offers postdoctoral training in the specialties of dentistry, advanced education in general dentistry, or a dental-general practice residency.
