Opportunity Summary:
The ARRA Equipment to Enhance Training for Health Professionals (EETHP) Advanced Education Nursing (AEN) Program grant (HRSA-10-171) was a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Recovery Act-funded opportunity designed to help nursing education and training institutions modernize or expand the equipment they use to train advanced education nurses. It was part of a larger EETHP Equipment Initiative that covered 21 separate health professions training programs authorized under Titles III, VII, and VIII of the Public Health Service Act. Even though the initiative had shared, overall goals across programs, HRSA issued a separate funding announcement for each eligible training program, and applicants had to meet the statutory and program-specific requirements tied to the particular program they applied under. In this case, the equipment requested needed to directly support the activities and goals of the Advanced Education Nursing program.
The focus of this specific opportunity was straightforward: provide grant funds specifically for the purchase of health professions training equipment that strengthens advanced nursing education capacity. The intent was not general operational support, but targeted, equipment-centered investment meant to improve training quality, training environments, and the ability of programs to educate health professionals effectively. Applicants were expected to align their equipment requests with the AEN program purpose, meaning the proposed purchases had to make sense in the context of advanced nursing preparation and the institutional ability to carry out AEN program requirements if funded.
Eligibility was limited to entities that were eligible to apply for the Advanced Education Nursing grant program and that could carry out AEN program requirements. Importantly, an applicant did not need to be a current AEN grantee to apply for this equipment funding; they simply had to meet AEN eligibility standards. Eligible applicants included collegiate schools of nursing, academic health centers, and other private or public entities, as long as they were accredited by a national nurse education accrediting agency or a state approval agency recognized by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education. HRSA also noted that additional guidance should be consulted for finer eligibility details and expectations.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this was a discretionary grant program under the Recovery Act funding activity category. HRSA anticipated making around 200 awards nationwide with an estimated total program funding level of $50,000,000. Individual award amounts ranged from a floor of $5,000 up to a ceiling of $300,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowered the barrier to participation for institutions that might not have had available non-federal funds to pair with the award.
Key dates show the opportunity moved quickly, consistent with many Recovery Act initiatives. The opportunity was posted February 26, 2010, with an original and final application deadline of March 26, 2010, and it was later archived on May 25, 2010. For access issues or applicant support, HRSA directed applicants to its call center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV and 877-464-4772), and the announcement included an additional information link hosted on the HRSA grants site.
