archived

This announcement solicits applications for the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part F Dental Reimbursement Program (DRP) to provide HIV oral health services and education and training.  These services target low-income, underserved people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA).  The purpose of the DRP is to improve access to oral health care services for patients with HIV and to train dental and hygiene students and dental residents to deliver HIV/AIDS dental care.  The DRP accomplishes this by defraying a portion of unreimbursed dental care costs for people living with HIV/AIDS incurred by accredited dental or dental hygiene education programs recognized by the Commission on Dental Accreditation.   This competition is open to accredited dental education institutions eligible to receive RWHAP Part F funding under section 2692(b)(1)(B) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act that have provided uncompensated or partially uncompensated oral health care to PLWHA from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014.   The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) is committed to meeting the national goals and principles described below.  As applicants complete their RWHAP Part F DRP proposal, they should consider how their program supports and helps to implement these goals and principles.
