About this program
The Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service funds the Dental Preventive and Clinical Support Center Program (CFDA 93.00N) to establish regional support infrastructure that promotes oral health initiatives, training, and screenings across IHS dental programs rather than providing direct clinical care, with the most recent award activity occurring through the grant portfolio cycle.
The program supports dental support centers organized at the IHS Area level that improve and document oral health outcomes by advancing IHS oral health initiatives and screening programs across specific regions. Projects focus on capacity-building, materials provision, and training for dental programs serving American Indian and Alaska Native communities, with support-center functions designed to strengthen multiple programs within a geographic area rather than clinical operations at a single site.
The portfolio indicates grant awards predominantly Project Grants with competitive renewal provisions of up to five years total project period, typically structured as an initial three-year award followed by competitive renewal. Grant selection prioritizes problem statement clarity, demonstrated need, expected benefits, soundness of approach, key personnel capability, and management controls, with consideration given to project demonstrative value and alignment with IHS oral health objectives.
Eligible applicants include federally recognized Indian tribes, tribal organizations, nonprofit inter-tribal organizations, nonprofit urban Indian organizations contracting under Title V of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, public or private nonprofit health and education entities, and state and local government health agencies. American Indians and Alaska Natives are direct beneficiaries through participation in screenings and services or indirect beneficiaries through policy changes resulting from project analyses.
Recipients are subject to standard federal audit and record-retention requirements under 2 CFR Subpart F and 45 CFR 75.361, with records maintained three years following final expenditure report submission or longer if active litigation or claims are pending. Grant appeals follow PHS procedures under 42 CFR Part 50, Subpart D.
