Based on the AAPD’s success in obtaining directed funding of $10 million for pediatric dentistry training in the fiscal year (FY) 2015 federal budget, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) recently awarded a number of new postdoctoral and predoctoral grants to support training of pediatric dentists and to better train general dentists in treating children.

HRSA is also funding six non-competing continuation grants (involving grantees which competed in a previous year) through Postdoctoral and Faculty Development programs that have a pediatric dentistry focus, for a total of $2,310,936.
