Opportunity Summary:
The Advanced Education Nursing Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 10-065) is a discretionary grant program offered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under CFDA 93.247, the Advanced Nursing Education Grant Program. Its central goal is to fund projects run by eligible institutions that strengthen advanced nursing education and, by extension, the advanced nursing workforce and practice capacity. The program is focused on improving training pathways and educational outcomes for nurses preparing for high-demand advanced roles in the healthcare system.
For this grant, "advanced education nurses" are defined as individuals trained in advanced degree nursing programs at the masters and doctoral levels. The definition also explicitly includes students in combined RN-to-Masters programs and post-masters nursing certificate programs. In addition, nurse-midwifery certificate programs that were already in existence on November 12, 1998 are also included. The advanced practice and leadership roles this funding is intended to support include nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, nurse midwives, nurse anesthetists, nurse educators, nurse administrators, and public health nurses. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at expanding and enhancing the educational infrastructure that produces these clinicians, faculty, and leaders.
Eligible applicants are limited to organizations involved in nursing education that meet specific accreditation and approval standards. HRSA lists eligible entities as collegiate schools of nursing, academic health centers, and other public or private nonprofit entities that are accredited by a recognized accrediting body (or bodies) or a State agency, and that are approved for nursing education purposes by the Secretary of Education. The announcement also makes room for newer nursing programs that are not yet accredited solely because they have not been operating long enough to qualify. These new programs may still apply if they are eligible for accreditation and if the Secretary of Education, after consultation with the relevant accrediting body or bodies, determines there is reasonable assurance the program will meet accreditation standards before the academic year that follows the normal graduation date of the first entering class. Programs trying to qualify through this newer-program pathway are directed to contact the Department of Education Accreditation and State Liaison Unit at 202-219-7011 to understand how to obtain the required determination.
From a funding and timing standpoint, HRSA anticipated making about 55 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $13,842,972. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute a specified non-federal share to be eligible. The opportunity was posted on December 29, 2009, and the application closing date was February 16, 2010, with the archive date listed as April 17, 2010, indicating it is a past-cycle announcement rather than an open competition.
For applicants or institutions trying to track down the full announcement details, HRSA provided an additional information link through the HRSA grants portal. For access issues or trouble opening the announcement online, HRSA directed users to the HRSA Call Center (callcenter@hrsa.gov), which is also the main support contact for linking or technical access problems related to the funding notice.
