Kentucky RHT Rooted in Health — Establish or Expand Accredited Dental Hygiene Programs

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.

Funding$9.9 million total initiative funding available beginning July 1, 2026; award sizes vary by applicant volume and proposed budgets, and the RFA states no universal per-applicant ceiling.
DeadlineFunding availability is currently ambiguous across official Kentucky sources. The controlling RFA states applications would be reviewed on a rolling basis and that applications received after the May 22, 2026 deadline would not be guaranteed consideration for funding available July 1, 2026. The separate CHFS Grant Opportunities page lists August 1, 2026 as the deadline, while the current Rural Health Transformation funding page leaves the deadline blank and does not mark the program closed. Current acceptance and remaining funds must therefore be confirmed directly with Kentucky DPH before applicant outreach or submission. No exact closing time or time zone is 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.
