New Funding Opportunity for Nurses

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) released a new Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to increase the nursing workforce in rural (non-metro) and underserved areas to address the critical shortage of nurses, specifically in acute and long-term care settings. 

The Nurse Education, Practice, Quality and Retention (NEPQR) - Workforce Expansion Program (WEP) enhances nurses education and clinical practice through additional training of associate and baccalaureate degree nursing students. HRSA will award approximately $4.7 million to up to five grantees over a period of four years through this funding opportunity. 

Applications are open now through July 26, 2024 at 10:59 p.m. CT.
