About this opportunity

The Health Resources and Services Administration is soliciting applications for reimbursement under the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part F Dental Reimbursement Program, with applications due July 10, 2026. Eligible applicants are limited to accredited domestic dental schools, accredited dental hygiene programs, hospitals with accredited dental education programs, and public or private institutions offering postdoctoral dental training.

The program reimburses eligible institutions for unreimbursed or partially unreimbursed costs of oral health care provided to low-income people with HIV during the prior fiscal year (July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025). Approximately $9 million in total funding is available, distributed among approximately 50 grants. Awards vary in amount; all eligible applicants that meet eligibility criteria and submit applications documenting unreimbursed costs receive reimbursement through a formula process that divides each applicant's unreimbursed costs by total unreimbursed costs across all applications, then multiplies by available funding. No cost share is required.

The period of performance runs from the expected award date of September 1, 2026 through February 28, 2027 (six months). Work is performed at the applicant institution's dental education facility or facilities.

Program objectives include improving access to oral health care for low-income people with HIV and supporting education and training for dental providers serving this population. Recipients must maintain state funding levels for oral health services, establish policies for patient payment verification and payor-of-last-resort determination, ensure HIV-related oral health education and training for dental students and providers, and prevent duplication of reimbursement across Ryan White program parts. Applicants must submit applications through Grants.gov and complete a separate Dental Services Report on the designated website by the deadline; failure to do so may render applications ineligible.

The Assistance Listing number is 93.924.

Synopsis

The purpose of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part F Dental Reimbursement Program (DRP) is to improve access to oral health care services for low-income people with HIV, and related education and training to dental providers serving people with HIV. Authorized under section 2692(b) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. § 300ff-111(b)), the DRP provides partial reimbursement to eligible dental schools and accredited dental hygiene programs for the unreimbursed costs of oral health care provided to patients with HIV. Eligible institutions may annually apply for reimbursement based on costs incurred in the prior year. Available funds are distributed among all eligible applicants, taking into account the number of patients with HIV served and the extent of unreimbursed care costs relative to other applicants.
