Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 23 053
The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part F Dental Reimbursement Program (DRP) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). In FY 2023, HRSA is offering funding through opportunity number HRSA-23-053 (Assistance Listing/CFDA 93.924) to help improve access to oral health services for low income people with HIV. The basic idea is to strengthen the safety net for HIV-related dental care by easing some of the financial burden that falls on training programs and clinics that provide care when there is little or no payment from other sources.
The program is specifically designed to reimburse a portion of unreimbursed dental costs rather than to pay prospectively for new services. In practice, that means eligible applicants are seeking repayment for qualifying oral health care they already delivered to people with HIV, where the care was uncompensated or only partially compensated. For this FY 2023 cycle, the reimbursement window covers services provided from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022. This structure supports continuity of care by helping provider sites keep offering services even when patients cannot pay and coverage options do not fully cover dental treatment.
A central feature of the DRP is that it focuses on accredited educational settings. Funding is aimed at accredited dental and dental hygiene education programs recognized by the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA). These programs often provide community-based care through faculty-supervised student clinics and related training environments, and the DRP helps defray the costs they absorb when serving low income patients with HIV. Alongside patient access, the program also supports education and training connected to delivering dental care for people with HIV, reinforcing a workforce that is prepared to treat HIV-positive patients competently and without stigma.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the opportunity materials, but the description makes clear that the intended applicants are CODA-accredited dental or dental hygiene education programs that incurred qualifying unreimbursed costs while treating low income people with HIV. The notice anticipated making around 50 awards. The posting lists an award ceiling of 0, which typically signals that awards are not capped at a single fixed maximum in the synopsis and may be based on the funding formula, documented unreimbursed costs, or other program-specific constraints described in the full announcement.
Key administrative details from the synopsis include a creation/posting date of January 3, 2023 and an original application closing date of March 10, 2023. Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a reimbursement-focused support program that helps dental education programs remain financially able to deliver essential oral health services to low income people with HIV, while also strengthening clinical training capacity tied to HIV oral health care.Apply for HRSA 23 053

FAQs: Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part F Dental Reimbursement Program (DRP) - FY 2023 (HRSA-23-053)
What is the RWHAP Part F Dental Reimbursement Program (DRP)?
The Dental Reimbursement Program (DRP) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), under the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part F. It is designed to help improve access to oral health services for low income people with HIV by reimbursing eligible programs for certain unreimbursed dental costs.
What is the main purpose of this grant opportunity?
The DRP aims to strengthen the safety net for HIV-related dental care by easing part of the financial burden on training programs and clinics that provide oral health services when there is little or no payment from other sources. By helping cover unreimbursed costs, the program supports continued availability of dental services for low income people with HIV.
Is this funding meant to pay for new dental services in the future?
No. This program is specifically structured as a reimbursement program. It reimburses a portion of qualifying dental costs for services that were already delivered, where those costs were uncompensated or only partially compensated, rather than providing prospective funding to launch new services.
What kinds of costs does the program reimburse?
Based on the synopsis, the DRP reimburses a portion of unreimbursed dental costs associated with providing qualifying oral health care to low income people with HIV, when the services were uncompensated or only partially compensated by other payment sources.
What is meant by "unreimbursed dental costs" in this program?
In this context, unreimbursed dental costs refer to costs incurred by the provider site for qualifying oral health care that were not paid for, or were only partly paid for, by other sources. The program is designed to repay a portion of those documented costs rather than cover the full cost of care.
What time period of services is covered for FY 2023 reimbursements?
For the FY 2023 cycle described, the reimbursement window covers services provided from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.
Who is the intended applicant for this opportunity?
The description indicates that the intended applicants are accredited dental and dental hygiene education programs recognized by the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) that incurred qualifying unreimbursed costs while providing oral health care to low income people with HIV.
Do applicants need to be accredited?
Yes. A central feature of the DRP described in the synopsis is its focus on accredited educational settings. Funding is aimed at dental and dental hygiene education programs that are accredited and recognized by CODA.
What does CODA stand for, and why does it matter here?
CODA stands for the Commission on Dental Accreditation. In this opportunity, CODA recognition is important because the program is aimed at supporting accredited dental and dental hygiene education programs that provide care through faculty-supervised student clinics and related training settings.
What types of clinical settings does this program support?
The synopsis emphasizes accredited educational settings, including community-based care delivered through faculty-supervised student clinics and related training environments that are part of dental and dental hygiene education programs.
Who benefits from the services supported by this reimbursement program?
The intended beneficiaries are low income people with HIV who receive oral health services from eligible provider sites. The reimbursement helps provider programs remain financially able to keep offering care when patients cannot pay and when coverage options do not fully cover dental treatment.
How does a reimbursement program like this support continuity of care?
By helping repay a portion of uncompensated or partially compensated costs for dental care already delivered, the DRP helps provider sites absorb less financial loss. That financial relief can make it easier for training programs and clinics to continue offering essential oral health services to low income people with HIV over time.
Does the program also support dental education and training?
Yes. The synopsis notes that the DRP supports education and training connected to delivering dental care for people with HIV. By reinforcing clinical training environments that treat people with HIV, the program helps support a workforce prepared to deliver HIV oral health care competently and without stigma.
What is the funding agency and program area?
The funding agency is HRSA, which is part of HHS. The program falls under the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part F, Dental Reimbursement Program (DRP).
What is the opportunity number for this funding?

How many awards was HRSA anticipating for this opportunity?
The synopsis states that HRSA anticipated making around 50 awards.
Is there a maximum award amount (award ceiling)?
The posting lists an award ceiling of 0. In synopsis listings, an award ceiling of 0 typically indicates that a single fixed maximum amount is not specified in the synopsis and that award amounts may be determined by program-specific methods (such as a formula or documented unreimbursed costs) described in the full announcement.
When was this opportunity posted?
The synopsis lists a creation/posting date of January 3, 2023.
What was the original application closing date?
The synopsis lists an original application closing date of March 10, 2023.
What does the eligibility category "Others" mean in this listing?
The synopsis lists eligibility broadly as "Others" and indicates that additional clarification is provided in the opportunity materials. However, the description makes clear that the intended applicants are CODA-accredited dental or dental hygiene education programs that incurred qualifying unreimbursed costs while treating low income people with HIV.
Why is this program focused on dental and dental hygiene education programs rather than general dental clinics?
As described, the DRP is designed around accredited educational settings where community-based care is often delivered through faculty-supervised student clinics and related training environments. These programs can face financial strain when providing care with limited reimbursement, and the DRP helps defray those absorbed costs while also supporting training capacity.
What problem is the DRP trying to address?
The DRP addresses the gap that occurs when low income people with HIV need dental care but payment sources provide little or no reimbursement. In those situations, training programs and clinics may absorb significant costs. The DRP helps reduce that financial burden so these sites can keep serving patients.
What is the overall takeaway about how this opportunity works?
This opportunity is best understood as reimbursement-focused support. Eligible CODA-accredited dental or dental hygiene education programs seek reimbursement for qualifying oral health care already delivered to low income people with HIV during the specified service period, helping sustain access to care and strengthen HIV-related clinical training environments.
