Grant opportunity for training dental hygienists and assistants

Allied Health Professionals (AHP) Education and Training Grants are for consortia between hospitals, health systems, and educational providers to establish education and training programs for allied health professionals. The goal of the grant is to increase the availability of quality education and training opportunities for critical allied health positions. Up to $125,000 per fiscal year may be requested for a 2.5-year period (January 1, 2024, through June 30, 2026).  A single application may request funds to provide training opportunities for more than one allied health occupation, as long as the total amount of funds requested does not exceed $125,000 per consortium per year.

  • Applications are due by 11:59 p.m. central time October 9, 2023.
  • Applications submitted after this date and time will not be reviewed.

Interested parties can find more information on the request for applications (RFA) on the Wisconsin Public Notices webpage.
