health care services that combine public and private delivery
systems,
maximize the effectiveness of Medicaid and SCHIP dental programs,
and encourage the application of science to practice in reducing

oral health activities are supported by Special Projects of
Regional and National Significance
(SPRANS)
grants that support a broad range
of innovative strategies (click on Projects in the toolbar at the
