Opportunity Summary:
The Advanced Education Nursing Traineeship (AENT) grant (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-11-043; CFDA 93.358) is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) discretionary grant program designed to strengthen the advanced-practice and advanced-specialty nursing workforce. The core purpose is to award funds to eligible institutions so they can provide traineeship financial support to registered nurses who are enrolled in advanced education nursing programs. In practice, this means the grant dollars flow to schools and eligible nonprofit entities, which then use the award to help offset costs for RN students preparing for roles that typically require graduate-level training and specialized clinical or leadership preparation.
The traineeships are intended to support preparation across a wide range of advanced nursing pathways. The announcement explicitly includes nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, nurse midwives, nurse anesthetists, nurse administrators, nurse educators, and public health nurses, and it also allows support for nurses in other specialties that require advanced education. The underlying workforce idea is that helping RNs complete advanced preparation supports the supply of clinicians, faculty, and leaders needed in healthcare delivery, education, and public health systems.
This funding opportunity is described as a formula program, meaning awards are generally determined based on specified program criteria rather than being purely competitive in the way some discretionary grants are. The opportunity anticipated a large number of awards (expected awards: 350) with an estimated total funding level of $16,000,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the grant.
Eligible applicants include collegiate schools of nursing, academic health centers, and other private or public nonprofit entities, provided they 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 announcement also makes room for certain new nursing programs that are not yet accredited due to limited operating history. Those new programs may still apply if they are eligible for accreditation and if, after consultation with the appropriate accrediting body or bodies, the Secretary of Education determines there is reasonable assurance the program will meet accreditation standards in time (specifically, prior to the beginning of the academic year following the normal graduation date of the first entering class). New programs trying to qualify through this pathway are directed to contact the Department of Education Accreditation and State Liaison Unit at 202-219-7011 for guidance on obtaining the required determination.
The application process uses a two-phase submission approach. Phase I is submitted through Grants.gov. After Phase I is submitted, applicants receive follow-up instructions by email. Phase II is then submitted through HRSA’s Electronic Handbooks (EHB) system, typically about two weeks after Phase I submission. Applicants should plan for both steps and the timing gap between them, since Phase II is not submitted in Grants.gov but in HRSA EHB.
Key administrative details in the posted announcement include the original and current closing date of December 22, 2010, a posted date of November 29, 2010, and an archive date of December 30, 2010, indicating this specific notice is historical. For reference and supporting materials, the announcement lists an additional information link hosted on HRSA’s grants site. For access issues or assistance, the contact point is the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV), with phone options including 877-464-4772 (877-Go4-HRSA) and 301-998-7373.
