The program funds initiatives in four primary areas: policy and advocacy, community capacity and voice, care delivery innovation, and research. Projects should seek to address systemic barriers in oral health, promote equitable access to care, and center the perspectives and needs of historically marginalized communities. Funding is available for both established and emerging organizations committed to driving meaningful, lasting change in oral health outcomes.
