Partnership for Oral Health Leadership Cooperative Agreement: The purpose of this program is to support national membership organization efforts focused on maternal and child oral health to assist their members to improve public oral health programs for women and children and the delivery of maternal and child oral health care services at the national, state and local levels. More specifically, funding support will allow these organizations to develop and disseminate new information about maternal and child health in a format most useful to policy and decision makers concerned with developing MCH policies and programs in the public and private sectors at local, State and national levels; to gather information from their membership about issues of concern relating to maternal and child oral health; to assist members to work together and with staff from other service programs to solve maternal and child oral health problems; and, to more clearly articulate the particular needs of women, children and their families in the nation at large. Strategies will be utilized that are focused on innovative and effective fundamental approaches to prevention, diagnosis, early intervention and treatment of oral disease, with focus on school-based comprehensive oral health access to services. The Partnerships in Oral Health Leadership Cooperative Agreement program will support the following four (4) categorical efforts under this announcement: 1. Build capacity to train medical students in oral health; 2. Represent State oral health programs; 3. Represent oral health financing of State Medicaid and CHIPPRA programs; and, 4.
