Information Collection Request Title: Advanced Nursing Education (ANE) Program Specific Form OMB No. 0915-0375-Revision.
Abstract: HRSA provides advanced nursing education grants to educational institutions to increase the supply, distribution, quality of, and access to advanced education nurses through the ANE Programs. The ANE Programs are authorized by section 811 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 296j), as amended. This clearance request is for continued approval of the information collection OMB No. 0915-0375 with revisions. This revision request seeks to add the ANE-Nurse Practitioner Residency and Fellowship Program and the Maternity Care Nursing Workforce Expansion Program to the ANE Program Specific Form, and to remove programs that have closed, which include the ANE-Nurse Practitioner Residency Program and the ANE-Nurse Practitioner Residency Integration Program. The activities previously supported under the ANE Nurse Practitioner Residency Program and the ANE-Nurse Practitioner Residency Integration Program are now supported under the ANE-Nurse Practitioner Residency and Fellowship Program.
A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on December 28, 2023, 88 FR 89709-10. There were no public comments.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Section 811 of the Public Health Service Act provides the Secretary of Health and Human Services 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.
