Description
The purpose of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part F Dental Reimbursement Program (DRP) is to improve access to oral health care services for low-income people with HIV, and related education and training to dental providers serving people with HIV. Authorized under section 2692(b) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. § 300ff–111(b)), the DRP provides partial reimbursement to eligible dental schools and accredited dental hygiene programs for the unreimbursed costs of oral health care provided to patients with HIV. Eligible institutions may annually apply for reimbursement based on costs incurred in the prior year. Available funds are distributed among all eligible applicants, taking into account the number of patients with HIV served and the extent of unreimbursed care costs relative to other applicants.
Eligibility
Eligible participants are domestic dental schools and other accredited domestic dental education programs, such as dental hygiene programs or those sponsored by a school of dentistry, a hospital, or a public or private institution that offers postdoctoral training in the specialties of dentistry, advanced education in general dentistry, or a dental general practice residency. Dental education programs must be accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation

This is a healthcare reimbursement program for dental schools and accredited dental education programs to support oral health services for people with HIV. While it touches public health, it is primarily service/reimbursement rather than research, evaluation, or data infrastructure, so it is only a weak fit for IPPRA. Public universities are eligible if they operate accredited dental education programs, but the opportunity is not designed for IPPRA’s core research mission.

| 2026-07-06 | 15 | gpt-5.4-mini | This is a health services reimbursement program for accredited dental schools and dental education programs serving people with HIV, not a research opportunity. IPPRA’s strengths in health communication, behavioral interventions, and community health data are only tangentially related, and the award mechanism is not aimed at policy or social-science research. A public university could be eligible only if it operates an accredited dental education program, but because the opportunity is reimbursement-focused rather than research-focused, it is a weak fit. |
