Final Special Consideration for Grants for Residency Training and 
Advanced Education in the General Practice of Dentistry for Fiscal Year 
1995

    The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) announces 
the final special consideration for fiscal year (FY) 1995 Grants for 
Residency Training and Advanced Education in the General Practice of 
Dentistry funded under the authority of section 749, title VII of the 
Public Health Service Act (the Act), as amended by the Health 
Professions Education Extension Amendments of 1992, Pub. L. 102-408, 
dated October 13, 1992.

Purpose

    Section 749 of the PHS Act authorizes the Secretary to make grants 
to any public or nonprofit private school of dentistry or accredited 
postgraduate dental training institution (e.g., hospitals and medical 
centers) to plan, develop, and operate an approved residency or an 
approved advanced educational program in the general practice of 
dentistry; to provide financial assistance to participants in such a 
program who are in need of financial assistance and who plan to 
specialize in the practice of general dentistry; and to fund 
innovative, nontraditional models for the provision of postdoctoral 
General Dentistry training.
    A special consideration for this program was proposed for public 
comment in the Federal Register on November 1, 1994 at 59 FR 54614. No 
comments were received during the 30-day comment period. Therefore, the 
proposed special consideration will be retained as follows:

Final Special Consideration

    Special consideration will be given to approved applications based 
on the extent to which they address innovative means of providing 
advanced general dentistry education that can help meet the current and 
future demand of such training. This might include new sponsor/co-
sponsor arrangements; different organizational and administrative 
structures; expanded private/public sector affiliations and setting 
linkages; and creative applications for current instructional 
telecommunications and computer technologies.
