Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 24 098
The Nurse Education, Practice, Quality and Retention (NEPQR) - Workforce Expansion Program (WEP) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). Its central aim is to grow the nursing workforce in rural (non-metro) and other underserved communities, where staffing shortages are especially severe. The program is designed to strengthen the supply of nurses serving patients in settings that are feeling the strain most acutely, with a particular emphasis on acute care and long-term care environments.
This opportunity is identified as HRSA-24-098 and is associated with CFDA number 93.359. HRSA is offering support through a grant funding instrument, under the broader federal health funding activity category. The program intent is workforce expansion: building capacity so more nurses are trained, placed, and retained in communities that typically struggle to recruit and keep nursing staff. While the short description does not list required activities, the title and purpose statement signal an emphasis on practical, pipeline-focused strategies that translate into more nurses available to deliver care in high-need facilities and regions.
Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). In practice, that means nursing schools and academic institutions, as well as Tribal entities and Tribal-serving organizations that can shape education and training pathways, partnerships, and placement strategies aligned with local workforce needs.
The application deadline for this funding opportunity was July 26, 2024. HRSA anticipated making about five awards, with an award ceiling of $1,000,000 per award. The opportunity record was created on June 14, 2024. Together, those details indicate a relatively targeted competition with a limited number of awards, aimed at supporting sizable projects capable of making a measurable difference in nursing workforce levels in rural and underserved areas, especially where acute and long-term care staffing gaps create ongoing risks for access, quality, and continuity of care.Apply for HRSA 24 098
