Opportunity Summary:
The Nurse Faculty Loan Program (NFLP) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), administered through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). Its purpose is to help grow the supply of qualified nursing faculty by funding schools of nursing to create and run student loan funds. Rather than issuing loans directly to students, HRSA awards grants to eligible nursing schools, and those schools then use the money to provide loans to students who are preparing specifically for faculty roles.
Under this program, participating schools make loans to students who are enrolled full time in advanced degree nursing programs (masters and/or doctoral level) that include an education component designed to prepare graduates to teach in a school of nursing. A key feature is the loan cancellation incentive: students who complete the program can have up to 85 percent of their loan cancelled if they go on to serve as full time nurse faculty at a school of nursing. In practical terms, the program is designed to reduce the financial burden of graduate nursing education for future educators, while creating a clear pathway from training to employment in academic nursing.
Eligibility to apply is limited to accredited, public or private collegiate schools of nursing located in the United States or its territories that offer a masters and/or doctoral nursing program with an education component that prepares students to become nursing faculty. The opportunity also allows certain newer nursing programs to apply even if they are not yet accredited, but only under a specific condition: the Secretary of Education must determine, after consultation with the relevant accrediting body or state agency, that there is reasonable assurance the program will meet accreditation standards by the academic year following the normal graduation date of the first entering class. New programs trying to qualify under this pathway are directed to coordinate with the U.S. Department of Education, Accreditation and State Liaison Unit (202-219-7011) to pursue the needed determination.
This funding opportunity is identified as HRSA-09-118, with CFDA number 93.264 (Nurse Faculty Loan Program). It anticipated 98 awards and listed an estimated total funding amount of $12,171,150. It also includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning awardees should expect to contribute non-federal resources as part of operating the loan fund. The opportunity was posted on January 13, 2009, with an original and final closing date of February 13, 2009, and it was later archived on June 16, 2009.
For access to the full announcement and related application materials, the listing provided an additional information link through HRSA. For technical trouble accessing the announcement, HRSA directed applicants to the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV, 877-464-4772, or 301-998-7373).
