Opportunity Summary:
The Advanced Education Nursing Traineeship (AENT) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 10-048, CFDA 93.358) is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) discretionary grant program designed to strengthen the nursing workforce by helping institutions provide traineeship financial support to registered nurses pursuing advanced education. The core purpose is to reduce financial barriers for RNs enrolled in graduate or other advanced nursing programs so they can complete training and move into high-need, advanced practice and leadership roles across the healthcare system.
Under this opportunity, grant funds flow to eligible schools and nonprofit entities, which then use the award to provide traineeships to students. The traineeships are intended to support RNs preparing for advanced specialties, including nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, nurse midwives, nurse anesthetists, nurse administrators, nurse educators, public health nurses, and other nursing specialties that require advanced education. In practical terms, the program aims to expand the supply of highly trained nurses who can deliver specialized clinical care, lead care teams, educate future nurses, and strengthen public health capacity.
A key operational detail is that AENT is described as a formula program, meaning awards are typically determined using a defined allocation methodology rather than purely competitive scoring for a limited number of winners. For this cycle, HRSA anticipated making about 350 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $16,000,000. The announcement specifies there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which can make participation more feasible for institutions that may not have additional funds available to meet a match.
Eligibility focuses on institutions involved in nursing education. Eligible applicants include collegiate schools of nursing, academic health centers, and other private or public nonprofit entities that are accredited by a recognized accrediting body (or bodies) or a state agency, and are approved for nursing education purposes by the Secretary of Education. The notice also lays out a pathway for new nursing programs that are not yet accredited solely because they have not been operating long enough. Those new programs may still apply if they are eligible for accreditation and if the Secretary of Education, after consulting the relevant accrediting body, determines there is reasonable assurance the program will meet accreditation standards before the academic year following the normal graduation date of the first entering class. New programs trying to use this provision are directed to coordinate with the U.S. Department of Education Accreditation and State Liaison Unit for guidance on obtaining the required determination.
The application process is explicitly two-phased. Phase I had to be submitted through Grants.gov by December 7, 2009. After submitting Phase I, applicants would receive follow-up instructions by email. Phase II was then due in the HRSA Electronic Handbooks (EHB) system roughly two weeks after Phase I submission, indicating that applicants needed to be prepared to complete a second round of materials promptly after the initial filing. The posting date for the opportunity was November 9, 2009, with the closing date listed as December 7, 2009, and an archive date of February 5, 2010.
For applicants or interested parties needing help accessing the full announcement or navigating submission issues, HRSA provided support through the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and phone contact options, and the announcement included a link to the full funding opportunity details on the HRSA grants website.
