Opportunity Information: Apply for HS NU11I 24 001
The American Indians into Nursing funding opportunity (HS NU11I 24 001) is a discretionary Indian Health Service (IHS) cooperative agreement designed to strengthen the nursing workforce serving American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. The central aim is to recruit, retain, and graduate more AI/AN students into nursing careers and, in turn, increase the number of registered nurses (RNs), certified nurse midwives (CNMs), and nurse practitioners (NPs) delivering care in AI/AN settings. Alongside building the pipeline of new clinicians, the program also emphasizes improving the skills of current nurses and advanced practice nurses through continuing education, with the broader goal of expanding access to culturally grounded, high-quality care in Tribal and IHS service environments.
Funded projects are expected to carry out several core activities that directly support workforce development. A major requirement is active recruitment and training of AI/AN individuals to become baccalaureate-prepared nurses as well as advanced practice nurses, including nurse midwives and nurse practitioners. Another key requirement is operating a scholarship program that encourages RNs and advanced practice nurses to provide, or continue providing, health care services to AI/AN communities. The scholarship support can be used to cover common education-related costs such as tuition, books, fees, room and board, and living stipends, as well as other expenses connected to completing baccalaureate-level nursing or advanced practice nursing programs. In addition, applicants are expected to develop and maintain nursing education pathways and recruitment efforts that lead to graduates who will go on to serve AI/AN people, meaning the program is not only about financial aid but also about sustained educational infrastructure and student support.
Eligibility is limited to specific types of accredited education providers. Applicants may include accredited public or private schools of nursing, accredited Tribally controlled community colleges, and accredited Tribally controlled post-secondary vocational institutions. Nurse midwife and nurse practitioner programs provided by any public or private institution are also eligible. Beyond these organizational categories, the opportunity sets firm accreditation expectations: all schools of nursing must be fully accredited without restrictions at the time of application by a recognized national nursing accrediting body or an appropriate state approval body recognized by the U.S. Department of Education for nursing education purposes. For nurse midwifery degree programs, applicants must verify accreditation by the American College of Nurse Midwives. Tribally controlled community colleges and post-secondary vocational institutions offering nursing programs must likewise be fully accredited by an appropriate recognized nursing accrediting body without restrictions.
From a funding standpoint, this opportunity is listed under CFDA 93.970 and uses a cooperative agreement structure, which generally signals meaningful federal involvement in the project beyond a standard grant (for example, coordination, technical input, or shared planning expectations, depending on the award terms). The award ceiling is $400,000, and IHS anticipated making about five awards under this announcement. The opportunity was created on March 5, 2024, with an original application closing date of May 14, 2024.Apply for HS NU11I 24 001
