Nurse Education, Practice, Quality and Retention (NEPQR)-Registered Nurse Training Program (RNTP) provides funding to enhance nursing education and practice to advance the health of patients, families, and communities and improve health outcomes. The overall goal is to increase the number of nursing students trained in acute care settings to address and manage social determinant of health (SDOH) factors and improve health equity and health literacy in rural and underserved areas.
Program objectives include:
- Develop or enhance the capacity of undergraduate student nurses to address complex care needs aimed at improving health outcomes, health equity, and access
- Address critical gaps in the acute care nursing workforce and needs for patients who are disproportionately burdened by COVID-19, health inequities, limited access to technology, and the SDOH
- Enhance current curriculum and experiential learning opportunities that integrate SDOH concepts and health equity and provide a foundation for undergraduate nursing students to develop critical thinking skills, provide culturally sensitive care, and effective communication
- Increase the distribution and diversity of the nursing workforce by recruiting, training, or employing, as applicable, individuals who will serve in underserved communities as integral members of interprofessional care teams
- Develop a nursing workforce that addresses the needs of populations being served
Eligible applicants include accredited schools of nursing; healthcare facilities, including Federally Qualified Health Centers; and nurse-managed health clinics, or partnerships of schools and facilities.
