Opportunity Summary:
The Advanced Nursing Education Program (HRSA-13-186) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) designed to strengthen advanced nursing education in ways that directly respond to the health care needs of people living with multiple chronic conditions (MCC). The central goal is to support nursing graduate programs that prepare advanced education nurses to deliver coordinated, high-quality care for complex patients, while also training them to work effectively in team-based clinical environments.
A key requirement is that proposed projects be built around an interprofessional education (IPE) model. Applicants are expected to explain clearly how IPE will be incorporated into the advanced nursing education program and how it will be integrated into the nursing curriculum, not treated as a side activity. Projects must actively engage other graduate health professionals, meaning the program should include meaningful learning experiences where nursing students train alongside students or trainees from other health disciplines. The intent is to produce graduates who are prepared to collaborate across professions in real clinical settings, which is particularly important for MCC care where patients often require input from multiple specialists and service systems.
For this funding opportunity, "advanced education nurses" includes individuals trained through advanced degree pathways such as combined RN/Master's programs, post-master's certificate programs, and certain nurse-midwifery certificate programs that were already in existence under the statutory date conditions referenced in the announcement. The types of advanced roles explicitly included span nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, nurse midwives and midwives, nurse anesthetists, nurse educators, nurse administrators, public health nurses, and other nurse specialties the Secretary determines require advanced nursing education. The eligible educational programs include master's and doctoral degree programs and, for qualifying nurse-midwifery certificate programs, those that were in existence on November 12, 1998.
Funding is offered as a grant with an award ceiling of $375,000 and no required cost sharing or matching. HRSA anticipated making about 33 awards under this announcement. The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.247 (Advanced Nursing Education Grant Program). The opportunity was posted on November 27, 2012, with an application closing date of February 1, 2013, and it was archived on February 19, 2013.
Eligibility is geared toward organizations positioned to operate accredited advanced nursing education. Eligible applicants include schools of nursing, nursing centers, academic health centers, state or local governments, and other public or private nonprofit entities. A core condition is that applicants be accredited by a national nurse education accrediting agency recognized by the Secretary. The listing of eligible applicant types also includes various government entities (state, county, city/township, special district), independent school districts, private institutions of higher education, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits other than institutions of higher education, consistent with the program's broad institutional eligibility so long as the accreditation and program requirements are met.
For access to the full announcement and official guidance, HRSA provided an additional information link and HRSA Call Center support. Applicants needing help accessing the solicitation or navigating the application process were directed to contact HRSA via CallCenter@HRSA.GOV or by phone at 877-464-4772.
