Opportunity Summary:
The Advanced Nursing Education (ANE) Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) designed to strengthen the pipeline of highly trained nurses prepared for advanced and specialty roles. The program targets organizations that run advanced nursing education specialty programs and aims to support the education of registered nurses as they move into roles such as nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, nurse anesthetists, nurse midwives, nurse educators, nurse administrators, public health nurses, and other advanced nurse specialists identified as needing advanced preparation. In practical terms, the funding is meant to expand and improve the training capacity of advanced nursing programs so the healthcare workforce can better meet patient and community needs.
The announcement defines "advanced education nurses" broadly to include individuals trained through advanced degree pathways and certain post-graduate options. Eligible trainees can be in combined RN-to-Masters programs, post-masters certificate programs, and, specifically for nurse midwifery, certain certificate programs that were already in existence before the relevant statutory change referenced in the notice. The opportunity also clarifies that advanced nursing education programs generally include masters and doctoral degree programs, with a special grandfathered exception for certificate nurse midwifery programs that existed as of November 12, 1998. This framing signals that the program is intended to support formal, accredited advanced education routes that lead to specialized clinical practice, leadership, teaching, and population health roles.
Applicants must be accredited, nonprofit, and connected to nursing education or health training infrastructure. Eligible entities include collegiate schools of nursing, nursing centers, academic health centers, state or local governments, and other public or private nonprofit organizations, as long as they are accredited by a national nurse education accrediting agency recognized by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education. The funding opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching, which can make it more accessible for programs that want to expand advanced nursing education capacity without needing to secure additional required non-federal funds.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-12-061; CFDA 93.247) anticipated making around 24 awards with an estimated total funding level of $9,000,000. The award ceiling listed is $375,000 per award. It is categorized as a health-related discretionary grant, with the grant mechanism used as the funding instrument. Key dates included a posted date of March 26, 2012, and an application closing date of May 18, 2012, with the opportunity later archived on July 17, 2012. While those dates are historical, they help show the structure and scale of the competition and the typical award size HRSA was planning for this ANE cycle.
For applicants needing the full announcement or having trouble accessing materials, HRSA directed people to the HRSA Call Center via callcenter@hrsa.gov. The official posting also included an additional information link on the HRSA grants site where the complete instructions, required forms, and program expectations would have been provided.
