American Dental Association Foundation Requests Proposals to Improve Children’s Dental Health
Deadline: July 17, 2007

The American Dental Association Foundation (http://www.adafoundation.org/) has issued a Request for Proposals to help improve children’s oral health through its Samuel Harris Fund for Children’s Dental Health.

Established by the ADA Foundation to prevent childhood tooth decay, the Harris Fund annually provides grants of up to $5,000 to educational and preventative programs designed to improve children’s dental health. In 2007, the program will award up to $300,000 in grants.

Community-based not-for-profit organizations in the United States or its territories are eligible to apply. Examples of qualified oral health promotions include dental health education conducted at schools, health fairs, and social agencies via mobile dental clinics or outreach programs; dental health education programs in conjunction with preventive programs such as fluoride and dental sealant application programs; oral health and nutrition education materials designed for parents and/or dental professionals; instruction in the proper use of oral-care products; and development of public-service announcements (PSAs) to increase awareness of and appreciation for proper childhood oral care.
