Opportunity Summary:
The ACA Advanced Nursing Education Expansion Program (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-10-281) is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to expand the primary care nursing workforce by helping nursing schools move more advanced practice nursing students through training faster. The initiative is designed around two main goals: first, increasing the number of students who enroll full time in accredited primary care Nurse Practitioner (NP) and Nurse Midwifery programs; and second, speeding up graduation for students who are currently enrolled part time by incentivizing and enabling them to switch to full-time study. In practical terms, the program is focused on removing financial barriers that often keep students from attending full time, which in turn shortens time-to-degree and increases the flow of new primary care clinicians into the workforce.
Funding is provided through grants, with an estimated total program funding level of $30,000,000 and an expected 40 awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to provide matching funds to receive an award. The primary use of funds is direct student support. Specifically, the program allows participating institutions to provide eligible students with support of up to $22,000 per year for as long as two years per student. That support can be used as stipends, to cover educational expenses, or for other reasonable living expenses, reflecting a flexible approach intended to address the real-world costs that can prevent full-time enrollment.
The students targeted by this support include those in masters and post-masters programs, and on a limited basis, students pursuing the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). The emphasis remains on primary care NP and nurse midwifery preparation, so the program is aimed at advanced practice roles that directly contribute to frontline care capacity, including preventive care, chronic disease management, maternal and newborn care, and other essential community-based health services.
Eligible applicants are institutions and entities that both meet accreditation requirements and operate the relevant training programs. HRSA specifies that eligible applicants include collegiate schools of nursing, academic health centers, and other private or public entities that are accredited by a national nursing accrediting agency recognized by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education. To qualify, the applicant must offer a primary care nurse practitioner program and/or an accredited nurse midwifery program and must have students currently enrolled in those programs. This eligibility structure makes the program institution-centered, with awards flowing to schools and training entities that then distribute support to qualified students as part of an expansion strategy.
Key administrative details include the opportunity category (discretionary), the funding instrument (grant), and the activity category (health). The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.513 (Affordable Care Act Advanced Nursing Education Expansion Initiative). The opportunity was posted on June 17, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 19, 2010, and an archive date of September 17, 2010. For applicants or interested parties who have trouble accessing the full announcement, HRSA provided support through the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV and 877-464-4772, with an additional number listed as 301-998-7373). The funding announcement was also linked through HRSA’s grants portal at the time of release.
Overall, this program is best understood as a workforce pipeline investment: it uses relatively substantial, time-limited student financial support to increase full-time enrollment and reduce delays in completion for advanced nursing students in primary care-focused disciplines. By doing so, it aims to produce more primary care nurse practitioners and nurse midwives sooner, helping address access-to-care needs and strengthening the supply of advanced practice clinicians in communities.
