Secretary of HHS with the authority to
award grants to and enter into contracts
with eligible entities to meet the costs
of—(1) projects that support the
enhancement of advanced nursing
education and practice; and (2)
traineeships for individuals in advanced
nursing education programs. Under this
section, HRSA makes awards to entities
who train and support nurses
characterized as ‘‘advanced education
nurses.’’ In awarding such grants,
funding preference is given to
applicants with projects that will
substantially benefit rural or
underserved populations, or help meet
public health nursing needs in state or
local health departments; special
consideration is given to an eligible
entity that agrees to extend the award to
train advanced education nurses who
will practice in designated health
professional shortage areas.
The ANE Program Specific Form will
allow HRSA to effectively target funding
and measure the impact of the ANE
Programs in meeting the legislative
intent and program goals of supporting
the enhancement of advanced nursing
education, creating opportunities for
individuals in advanced nursing
education programs, and increasing the
number of advanced practice nurses in
rural and underserved areas. The
proposed updates to this information
collection will assist HRSA in:
Streamlining the application submission
process across programs; enabling an
efficient award determination process;
and facilitating HRSA’s ability to
monitor the use of funds and analyze
program outcomes. Additionally,
collecting this data assists HRSA in
carrying out the most impactful program
and ensuring resources are used
responsibly.
More specifically, the changes include
the following:
• Form name change from ANEW to
ANE Program Specific Form.
• Additional instructions for
applicants are provided in each funding
opportunity.
• Modifications to both Table #1 and
Table #2:
Æ Revision to instructions to
incorporate elements for added
programs. Instructions about completion
of each table are included within the
electronic application materials.
Æ Table titles are rephrased for
clarity.
Æ New ‘‘Additional Specialty’’
column is created to yield a flexible data
collection option.
• Table #1 rows are numbered for
clarity and more rows are added to:
