Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 22 050
The federal grant opportunity titled "Grants to States to Support Oral Health Workforce Activities" (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 22-050) 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 was created on November 17, 2021, with an original application closing date of January 31, 2022. The program is listed under CFDA number 93.236 and uses the standard grant funding instrument.
At its core, the program is designed to strengthen the oral health workforce in areas that have the greatest difficulty accessing dental care, specifically designated Dental Health Professional Shortage Areas (Dental HPSAs). The intent is not a one-size-fits-all national approach; instead, HRSA is encouraging states to create and carry out innovative solutions that match their own workforce realities, geographic challenges, and community needs. In practical terms, the funding supports state-level efforts that can help recruit, train, deploy, and retain dental professionals where shortages are most severe, with the end goal of improving access to oral health services in underserved communities.
Eligibility is described broadly in the listing as "Others," with the note that applicants should consult the opportunity's additional eligibility language for the exact definition. Even with that broad label, the title and purpose make clear that the target applicants are state entities or state-directed efforts that can plan and implement workforce activities across Dental HPSAs. The opportunity anticipated making 32 awards, which suggests an intent to fund a substantial number of states or comparable jurisdictions to spur nationwide progress on dental workforce gaps, while still allowing each funded recipient to tailor its approach to local conditions.
One notable detail in the posted source data is that the award ceiling is shown as 0. In many federal listings, this can reflect that the maximum award amount was not specified in the summary field or was to be determined based on available appropriations, the number of awards, or the strength and scope of applications. Applicants typically confirm actual funding levels, allowable costs, and project expectations by reviewing the full notice of funding opportunity and related HRSA guidance.
Overall, this grant opportunity is about helping states take practical, creative steps to reduce dental provider shortages in Dental HPSAs by building a stronger, better-distributed oral health workforce, using strategies that are locally appropriate rather than dictated by a single national template.Apply for HRSA 22 050
