Wisconsin Advanced Practice Clinician Training Grant

DHSRuralWorkforceGrants@DHS.Wisconsin.gov

The Advanced Practice Clinician Training Grant provides funding for activities that focus on increasing the number of rural hospitals and clinics in Wisconsin that provide clinical training for physician assistants (PAs) and advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs).

Grant activities may include:

• Planning: Funds may be used to assist rural hospitals and clinics in developing new clinical training experiences for PAs and APRNs. Funds would support a strategic planning process with the goal of having a fully developed program.
• Planning and implementation: Funding may be used to assist rural hospitals and clinics in developing new clinical training experiences for PAs and APRNs and implementing the program. Grant funds would support a strategic planning process and the actual clinical training for a period to be determined by the applicant.
• Expansion and enhancement: Funding may be used to assist hospitals and clinics currently supporting advanced practice clinical training in expanding and/or enhancing their existing program.

Applicants must be a hospital or clinic or include a hospital or clinic as a training site.

Priority will be given to hospitals or clinics in a city, town or village with a population less than 20,000 people, or to clinical training programs that include rural hospitals and clinics as training locations. Priority will also be given to hospitals or clinics developing new clinical training opportunities for advanced practice clinicians.

Up to $50,000 for a two year project period.

A 100% match of cash or in-kind resources is required.
