Opportunity Summary:

The Nurse Anesthetist Traineeship Program (NAT) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) intended to expand and support the nurse anesthesia workforce by helping cover the cost of training. The program is designed specifically to provide financial traineeship support for licensed registered nurses who are enrolled as full-time students in accredited master s or doctoral nurse anesthesia programs. In practical terms, the funding is meant to reduce the financial burden of nurse anesthesia education so that more qualified nurses can complete advanced training and enter practice.

Under this opportunity, grant-supported traineeships may cover full or partial educational and training-related expenses. Allowable support includes tuition, books, and required fees, as well as reasonable living expenses provided through stipends for the trainees during the period of support. The core idea is that the awardee organization receives the grant funding and then uses it to provide traineeship assistance to eligible students in nurse anesthesia programs, rather than the students applying directly as individual applicants.

The funding opportunity number is HRSA-14-068, and the CFDA program number associated with this grant is 93.124 (Nurse Anesthetist Traineeships). HRSA anticipated making about 80 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,250,000. The notice lists an award ceiling and floor as $0, which generally indicates that the specific per-award amounts were not stated in that summary field and applicants needed to consult the full announcement for detailed budget expectations or constraints. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.

Eligibility is geared toward organizations that operate or support nurse anesthesia education and have the appropriate accreditation to provide nurse anesthesia training. Eligible applicants include accredited schools of nursing, nursing centers, academic health centers, state or local governments, and other public or private nonprofit entities that the Secretary of Health and Human Services determines appropriate, as long as they are accredited for the provision of nurse anesthesia education. The eligible applicant types listed also include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, certain nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) entities, with exclusions noted in the listing), and government entities at the city or township, county, state, and tribal levels, including federally recognized tribal governments and other Native American tribal organizations.

The application process was structured as a two-tier submission. Tier 1 was submitted through Grants.gov with a due date of December 19, 2013, and Tier 2 required supplemental information submitted through HRSA s Electronic Handbooks (EHBs) by January 14, 2014. The overall closing date for the opportunity was January 16, 2014. The opportunity was posted on December 9, 2013, created on December 17, 2013, and later archived on February 17, 2014, indicating it is no longer open but remains relevant as a reference for how HRSA structured this traineeship funding.

For support with accessing the full announcement or resolving application-related issues, HRSA directed applicants to the HRSA Grants Application Center and the HRSA Call Center. The contact options provided include the email address CallCenter@HRSA.GOV and the phone number 877-464-4772 (877-Go4-HRSA), with a mailing address in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
