This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) solicits applications for the FY 2015 Predoctoral Training in General, Pediatric and Public Health Dentistry and Dental Hygiene program. The goal of this announcement is to enhance dental workforce education and training to prepare predoctoral dental students,
dental hygiene students, and dental hygienists to practice in new and emerging models of care that are designed to meet the needs of vulnerable, underserved, or rural communities.
The emphasis will be on training in new models that stress the integration of oral health into larger care delivery systems and expanded roles of dental hygienists, under evolving State practice acts.
