Oral Health Funding Opportunities

Perinatal and Infant Oral Health Quality Improvement: This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) solicits applications for the Perinatal and Infant Oral Health Quality Improvement (PIOHQI) Expansion Grant Program, the second phase of the Perinatal and Infant Oral Health National Initiative. The goal of this grant program, as with this multi-phase initiative, is to reduce the prevalence of oral disease in both pregnant women and infants through improved access to quality oral health care. By targeting pregnant women and infants most at risk for disease, during times of increased health care access, the expected result is improved oral health and oral health care utilization of the mother and her child throughout their lifespan. Ultimately, by linking the delivery of oral health with primary care, the overall well-being of pregnant women and infants will be improved. For more information about this grant opportunity, visit grants.gov.

Grants of up to $5,000 will be awarded to nonprofit organizations whose work aligns with the ADA Foundation's mission to improve the oral health of the public through education. The application deadline is Jan. 30, 2015. Visit ADAF's website to review and download the application or see a list of previous grant recipients. Please contact Cathy Haibach at the ADA Foundation, 312-440-2547 or haibachc@ada.org, if you have questions.” [Source: Oral Health Colorado]
