Office of Head Start-Funded Projects

The Office of Head Start's (OHS's) Oral Health Initiative provides supplemental funding to grantees over a 4-year period to develop, implement, and disseminate culturally sensitive, innovative, and empirically based best practice oral health models. The models are locally designed and based on the needs of the grantee's community and population served. The initiative will promote and advance oral health education and oral health care delivery systems for pregnant women, infants, and children enrolled in Head Start programs.

OHS's Innovation and Improvement Project (IIP) provides funding to organizations to support innovative concepts, projects, and products to help improve the effectiveness and management of Early Head Start and Head Start programs. Collectively, IIP projects address a wide range of needs and issues; there is currently one IIP grantee with a focus on oral health.

This database of OHS-funded projects is maintained by the National Maternal and Child Oral Health Resource Center. Please submit questions or corrections to Sarah Kolo.
