Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part F Dental Reimbursement Program (DRP) | HRSA 24 060

Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 24 060

The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part F Dental Reimbursement Program (DRP) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) intended to strengthen oral health care access for low-income people with HIV. The program focuses on two connected goals: first, improving access to dental and oral health services for people with HIV who might otherwise go without care due to cost barriers, and second, supporting the education and training activities that prepare dental providers to deliver high-quality care to people with HIV. In practical terms, the DRP operates as a reimbursement program that helps eligible training-focused dental institutions offset costs from care they delivered with little or no compensation.

A key feature of this opportunity is that it reimburses certain costs that were already incurred, rather than funding future service delivery as a typical forward-looking grant might. Specifically, applicants are seeking reimbursement for uncompensated or partially uncompensated oral health care services they provided to people with HIV during the defined service period of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023. This structure is meant to help dental education settings that serve as safety-net providers, where clinics may treat patients regardless of ability to pay, absorb the financial impact of that care, and continue providing services while training the next generation of oral health professionals.

Eligibility is limited to specific domestic dental education entities, and accreditation is central. Only accredited domestic dental schools and other accredited domestic dental education programs may apply, including dental hygiene programs and programs sponsored by a school of dentistry. Eligible applicants also include hospitals that run dental education programs accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA), as well as public or private institutions that offer postdoctoral dental training such as dental specialties programs, advanced education in general dentistry, or dental general practice residency programs. Across these categories, CODA accreditation is required for dental education programs, underscoring that the program is aimed at formal training environments that combine patient care with provider education.

“Domestic” is defined broadly to include the fifty states and several U.S. territories and affiliated jurisdictions: the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau. This definition clarifies where eligible institutions must be located and aligns with how certain federal health programs define domestic entities.

From the opportunity record, the funding opportunity title is “Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part F Dental Reimbursement Program (DRP)” with funding opportunity number HRSA-24-060, and it is listed under CFDA number 93.924 in the health funding activity category. The opportunity is administered by HRSA and was created on March 1, 2024, with an original application closing date of April 30, 2024. HRSA anticipated making about 50 awards. The listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which typically signals that awards may vary and that applicants should rely on the full notice of funding opportunity for the specific reimbursement methodology, limits, and calculation approach rather than expecting a single stated maximum award amount.

Overall, the DRP is designed to keep dental education clinics and training programs engaged in HIV-related oral health care by helping them recover part of the financial burden associated with treating patients who cannot fully pay for services. At the same time, it reinforces workforce preparation by supporting training settings where students and residents learn to provide culturally competent, clinically appropriate dental care for people with HIV, which can help expand the availability and quality of HIV-related oral health services over time.
