Opportunity Summary:
The Advanced Education Nursing Traineeship (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 09-102) is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) grant program designed to strengthen the advanced nursing workforce by helping schools offset the cost of educating registered nurses who are pursuing graduate-level or otherwise advanced nursing preparation. Funds awarded under this opportunity are used by eligible institutions to provide traineeship-based financial support to registered nurses enrolled in advanced education nursing programs. The overall purpose is to expand and sustain the pipeline of highly trained nurses who can fill critical roles in direct patient care and leadership, including nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, nurse midwives, nurse anesthetists, nurse administrators, nurse educators, public health nurses, and other advanced specialty areas that require education beyond basic nursing preparation.
A key feature of this opportunity is that it operates as a formula program rather than a typical competitive grant program. In practical terms, that means every applicant that meets the eligibility requirements and is approved can expect to receive an award, rather than funding being limited only to the highest-scoring applications. HRSA anticipated making about 375 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $16,000,000, and the program is listed under CFDA 93.358 (Advanced Education Nursing Traineeships). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so institutions are not required to contribute a specified portion of project costs as a condition of receiving federal funds.
Eligible applicants include collegiate schools of nursing, academic health centers, and other private or public nonprofit entities, as long as they are accredited by a recognized accrediting body (or bodies) or by a state agency, and are approved for the purpose of nursing education by the Secretary of Education. The announcement also allows some new nursing programs to apply even if they are not accredited at the time of submission, provided the lack of accreditation is due to an insufficient operating history and the program is otherwise eligible for accreditation. In those cases, the Secretary of Education must determine, after consultation with the appropriate accrediting organization(s), that there is reasonable assurance the program will meet accreditation standards before the start of the academic year following the normal graduation date of the first entering class. New programs attempting to qualify under this pathway were directed to contact the U.S. Department of Education Accreditation and State Liaison Unit at 202-219-7011 for guidance on securing the required determination.
This funding opportunity was posted on September 25, 2008, created on October 6, 2008, and had an application deadline of October 27, 2008, with an archive date of January 16, 2009. The sponsoring agency is HRSA, and the funding instrument type is a grant under the broader activity category of health. Applicants or interested parties looking for the original announcement materials were directed to HRSA’s grants site via the additional information link provided in the notice.
