Ryan White HIV/AIDS Dental Reimbursement and Community Based Dental Partnership Grants

Dental Reimbursement Program (DRP): To partially compensate accredited dental schools, postdoctoral dental education programs, and dental hygiene education programs for unreimbursed costs they have incurred in providing oral health services to low income, uninsured, and underserved people with HIV. Reimbursement will be made for documenting the number of low income people with HIV served and the unreimbursed oral health costs incurred by each institution as compared with the total number of low income people with HIV served and costs incurred by all eligible applicants. The purpose of the DRP is to improve access to oral health care services for low income, uninsured, and underserved people with HIV. Provide clinical training for dental and dental hygiene students and dental residents to deliver oral health care to people with HIV. Community Based Dental Partnership Program (CBDPP): To improve access to oral health care services for low income, uninsured and underserved people with HIV in underserved geographic areas, while simultaneously providing education and clinical training for dental and dental hygiene students, dental residents, or other dental providers in community-based settings. This is achieved through multi-partner collaborations between dental and dental hygiene education programs recognized by the Commission on Dental Accreditation and community-based dental providers.
