Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 18 014
The grant opportunity titled "Grants to States to Support Oral Health Workforce Activities" (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 18 014) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). It is designed to help states strengthen and expand their oral health workforce in areas that have been officially identified as Dental Health Professional Shortage Areas (Dental HPSAs). In practical terms, it targets communities where there are not enough dental providers to meet local needs, and where access to routine and preventive dental care is often limited.
The central purpose of the program is to support states in developing and implementing innovative, state-specific strategies to address dental workforce shortages. Rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach, the program emphasizes flexibility so each state can tailor activities to its unique workforce challenges, geography, and population needs. The goal is not only to introduce new efforts, but also to help sustain effective programs that measurably improve access to oral health care and the overall quality of services delivered in shortage areas.
A key theme of the opportunity is workforce-focused solutions that increase oral health services for people living in Dental HPSAs. That can include approaches that attract, deploy, and retain dental professionals in underserved communities, as well as strategies that make the existing workforce more effective at meeting demand. The intent is to encourage state innovation that results in real, on-the-ground improvements, such as reducing barriers to care, increasing the availability of providers, and strengthening delivery systems so patients in shortage areas can receive timely and appropriate oral health services.
From an administrative standpoint, the award mechanism is a grant, and the program is listed under CFDA number 93.236. The opportunity was originally posted on January 11, 2018, with an original application deadline of March 12, 2018. HRSA anticipated making 23 awards. The published award ceiling is listed as 0, which typically signals that the ceiling amount was not specified in the summary field and would need to be confirmed in the full announcement or related HRSA guidance.
Eligibility is broadly described as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which indicates that while states are the intended focus, the official eligibility details are contained in the full funding notice. In many HRSA state-oriented workforce programs, the eligible applicant is often a state government agency or an entity designated by the state, but the precise requirements would depend on the full eligibility language referenced in the announcement.
Overall, this funding opportunity is best understood as a state-driven initiative to reduce dental access gaps in federally designated shortage areas by strengthening the oral health workforce pipeline and supporting sustainable, high-impact programs that expand access and improve quality for underserved populations.Apply for HRSA 18 014
