Nursing Workforce Diversity (NWD) program
The purpose of the Nursing Workforce Diversity (NWD) program is to
provide Federal funding for projects to increase nursing education
opportunities for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds
(including racial and ethnic minorities underrepresented among
registered nurses). The NWD program supports projects that provide
education opportunities for students to become registered nurses and/
or opportunities for practicing registered nurses to pursue a
baccalaureate degree in nursing. Projects are expected to include a
cohort of nursing students who will graduate and be eligible to take
the National Council Licensure Examination – Registered Nurse (NCLEX-
RN) within the three-year project period. Applicant organizations may
only submit one application under this announcement.
The program has three major components that applicants must address
each year of the project: 1) Retention, 2) Pre-Entry Preparation, and
3) Student Scholarships and/or Stipends.
Eligible applicants are schools of nursing, academic health centers,
State or local governments, faith-based and community-based, tribes
and tribal organizations and other private or public entities
determined appropriate by the Secretary. The eligible applicant must
be capable of carrying out the legislative purpose of the NWD
program.
Schools of nursing must be accredited by a national nurse education
accrediting agency or State approval agency recognized by the
Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education. All nursing programs
associated with the project must be accredited for the purpose of
nursing education. Applicants must submit documentation providing
proof of accreditation (e.g., an accreditation letter from the
accrediting agency or a copy of the certificate of accreditation) with
the HRSA application. Failure to provide proof of accreditation with
the HRSA program application will render the application non-
responsive, and the application will not be sent forward for review or
be considered for funding under this announcement.
