Funding-Limited
Submission – Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) - National
Support for Title V/Maternal and Child Health Oral Health Services Grant
Program (HRSA-12-059); April 23, 2012
Description:
The
goal of this ongoing national effort is to help in the development of effective
strategies aimed at improving maternal and child oral health status. The MCHOHS
grant program will provide support to health professionals, program administrators,
educators, policymakers, researchers, and others who seek to address current
and emerging public oral health issues in their efforts to achieve sustainable
oral health services for the MCH population (defined as women, infants,
children, adolescents, including those with special health care needs, and
their families). Such efforts will augment and/or stabilize oral health
services within Title V programs as well as other State, community and local
safety-net programs serving the oral health needs of the MCH population,
including but not limited to those focused on perinatal services, newborn
home-visiting efforts, and school-based health centers (SBHCs).
Amount:
Applicants
may apply for a ceiling amount of up to $600,000 per year, to include no more
than $200,000 for the two MCH population-based initiatives, the SBCOHS network
and national consensus for perinatal oral health guideline dissemination and
implementation. The project period is five (5) years and begins on July 1,
2012.
