Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 17 067
The Advanced Nursing Education Workforce (ANEW) Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), designed to strengthen the primary care workforce by expanding and improving training pathways for advanced practice registered nurses. The central goal is to help prepare advanced nursing students to deliver primary care in rural and underserved communities, where provider shortages and access barriers are often most severe. Rather than focusing only on classroom education, the program emphasizes practical, real-world preparation that connects academic instruction to sustained clinical experience in the exact types of settings where these graduates are most needed.
At its core, ANEW funds innovative academic-practice partnerships, meaning schools of nursing team up with clinical practice partners to create a coordinated training pipeline. These partnerships are expected to provide longitudinal primary care clinical training experiences, which generally means students are not placed in short, one-off rotations but instead participate in ongoing clinical experiences over time. This long-term model is intended to build deeper competence, continuity with patients and preceptors, and stronger professional ties to rural and underserved sites, all of which can increase the likelihood that graduates will choose to work in those communities after completing their programs.
The program supports two major types of investment: traineeships for selected advanced nursing education students and infrastructure funding for the participating schools and their practice partners. Traineeships are aimed at reducing financial barriers for students preparing for primary care roles, while infrastructure funds help the academic and clinical partners build or strengthen the systems needed to deliver high-quality training in community-based settings. In practical terms, infrastructure support can enable partners to expand clinical placement capacity, improve coordination between the school and clinical sites, and enhance the overall training environment required for sustained primary care experiences in rural or underserved locations.
ANEW specifically targets students enrolled in advanced nursing education programs that prepare clinicians for primary care roles, including primary care nurse practitioner (NP), primary care clinical nurse specialist (CNS), and nurse-midwife (NMW) programs. A defining expectation is that the partnership does more than train students; it also helps facilitate employment for graduates in rural and/or underserved settings. This places workforce outcomes at the center of the program, linking educational support to measurable improvements in where graduates ultimately practice.
Administratively, this funding opportunity is identified as HRSA-17-067 and is listed under CFDA 93.247. It is offered as a grant mechanism within HRSA's health workforce portfolio. The agency anticipated making about 50 awards under this announcement. The published award ceiling is listed as 0, which typically indicates that a specific maximum dollar amount was not stated in the summary field (and would normally be detailed in the full funding announcement). The opportunity was originally posted on October 19, 2016, with an original application closing date of January 25, 2017. Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with further clarification intended to be provided in the full announcement's eligibility section, implying that eligible applicants likely include qualifying institutions and partnership arrangements consistent with the program's academic-practice model.
Overall, the ANEW Program is structured to address primary care access gaps by building stronger training partnerships, supporting advanced nursing students financially, improving the training infrastructure in community settings, and promoting direct entry of new advanced practice clinicians into rural and underserved workforce pipelines. The emphasis on sustained clinical exposure and post-graduation employment connections reflects a practical strategy: train clinicians in the settings where they are needed, support them while they prepare, and make it easier for them to stay and work in those communities once they are qualified.Apply for HRSA 17 067
