The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part F Dental Reimbursement Program provides funding designed to improve access to oral healthcare services for low income people with HIV, and to train dental students, dental hygiene students, and dental residents to deliver dental care to people with HIV.

Funding may be used to defray some unreimbursed dental care costs incurred by treating low income people with HIV at accredited dental or dental hygiene education programs recognized by the Commission on Dental Accreditation.

This opportunity is part of Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America, which is a 10-year initiative that seeks to achieve the important goal of reducing new HIV infections in the United States to less than 3,000 per year by 2030. The first phase of the initiative will focus on 48 counties; Washington, D.C.; San Juan, PR; and 7 states that have a substantial rural HIV burden.

Eligible participants are 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.

Award ceiling: Awards are reimbursement-based and will vary
Project period: Up to 6 months to draw down funds
Estimated number of awards: 50
Estimated total program funding: $9,000,000
