K. Hoch (College of Nursing)

Multiple applications from an organization are not allowed.

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is accepting applications for the fiscal year (FY) 2023 Nurse Anesthetist Traineeship (NAT) Program. The purpose of this program is to increase the supply and distribution of Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) who are well prepared and well positioned to practice independently and collaboratively within interprofessional teams and to deliver evidence-based, high quality, and safe anesthesia and pain management services. The program also aims to expand access to anesthesia services, especially to rural, urban, and tribal underserved communities nationwide. Grants are awarded to accredited institutions that educate registered nurses to become nurse anesthetists; recipient institutions, in turn, disburse funds to students in the form of traineeship support.
