0920-0739 CDC Oral Health Management Information System

The CDC Oral Health Management Information System was developed to assist states in organizing their oral health program information and to assist states in generating interim progress and annual progress reports required for cooperative agreement 3022 and its successor 08-802 efficiently and effectively. As the CDC continues to fund states and territories to build oral health infrastructure and capacity, modifications are made to program requirements based on state grantee input and concerns. Cooperative agreement 3022 is in its final year of funding and in reviewing the information based on the last five years; the CDC has made minor adjustments to the requirements for the new cooperative agreement 08-802 and would like to modify the MOLAR system to match the new cooperative agreement. The modifications include:

1. An anticipated increase in funding to add two additional state grantees

2. The addition of a ‘Success Story’ reporting page (attachment A)

3. The inclusion of an environmental assessment (attachment B)
