Dental Program NOFO Questions and Answers
1) Q: Is this a grant a CILA agency is able to apply for in order to help pay for extractions needed for an individual in our home that does not have the financial ability to pay for and is not covered by Medicaid? He is in need of sedation dentistry.
A: This grant is for Dental Providers, already providing services to the community.
2) Q: will this slideshow be shared following this call?
A: This TA session Webex recording will be posted with the NOFO on the DDD website.
3) Q: I have 3 clients that I am applying for this NOFO, should their information for the CSFA page be the same?
A: This NOFO is for dentists who are wanting to provide services with people with DDD.
4) Q: How will we know which Dentist will receive this award in our area?
A: The GATA portal will have the names of the Dentist who are awarded and the regions that they cover, and the information will also be posted to our website.
5) Q: Are nonprofit organizations eligible if we aren't dental providers?
A: Everyone that applies will receive an Award or Denial letter at the completion of the NOFO process
6) Q: Is there any way that the awardees can be announced through DDD communications?
A: We can add it to the DDD communications when the award approvals are sent out.
7) Q: Our expenses will be different in year two with an increase due to going from 2.5 FTEs in year one to 3 for year two. On the other hand, some upfront costs are one time only or won't recur for several years, cutting costs in equipment and training, for example. Should I account for that in the 26 budget or just leave it as is?
A: Please complete your budget with both fiscal years in mind, as well as any changes within those fiscal years, that your agency projects. The CSA budget that is submitted with the application process, is not the final budget. Once an agency is awarded funding, they will be notified with a Notice of State Award (NOSA). At that time, a final budget will be completed. The total amount of the budget is determined at the time of the NOFO. Expenses on the budget can be changed annually.
