Kentucky CHFS currently lists August 1, 2026 as the deadline for the accredited dental hygiene RHT opportunity, and that date has passed. Because the linked RFA also contains rolling-basis language, Atlas is treating current funding availability as unverified and is not authorizing new applicant outreach unless DPH confirms that applications are still being accepted. The RFA identifies $9.9 million for the initiative, with no universal per-award ceiling published.
Required next actionDo not initiate new applicant outreach or package submission until Kentucky DPH confirms that applications are still being accepted and funds remain available. If confirmed, verify nonprofit Kentucky educational-institution eligibility, CODA authority/readiness, added rural training slots, rural student pipeline and placement plan, documented rural clinical partnerships, institutional leadership support, Year 1 spend readiness, sustainability, current budget template, and submission instructions.
