Grants are awarded to eligible institutions to increase the number of advanced practice nurses serving as primary care nurse practitioners or nurse midwives, with an emphasis on funding applicants who are prepared to meet the primary care needs of rural and underserved communities. This goal is accomplished by providing traineeship funds to schools of nursing that prepare graduates to practice in these communities; recipient institutions in turn disburse funds to students in the form of traineeship support.

B - Project Grants

Eligible applicants are education programs that provide registered nurses with nurse practitioner and nurse-midwife education. Such programs may include schools of nursing, nursing centers, academic health centers, State or local governments, and other public or private nonprofit entities authorized by the Secretary to confer degrees to registered nurses for nurse practitioner nurse-midwife education. Federally Recognized Indian Tribal Government and Native American Organizations may apply if otherwise eligible.

The participating institutions select traineeship recipients. A recipient (student) must be enrolled in an advanced education nursing program in the recipient institution for preparation as a primary care nurse practitioner or nurse-midwife. The student/enrollee must be pursuing a master's or doctoral degree, a combined RN to master's degree, nurse-midwifery certificate in existence on November 12, 1998, or a post-graduate master's certificate. The student/enrollee must be a citizen of the United States, non-citizen national, or foreign national who possesses a visa permitting permanent residence in the United States. Individuals on temporary or student visas are not eligible to receive AENT support. The student/enrollee must maintain the predetermined academic standards of the institution and be prepared to sit for national nursing certification in the nursing specialty or field of study following graduation.
