Nursing Schools Get Another Form, This Time for Advanced Training
Published Date: 10/23/2026
Notice
Summary
HRSA is updating a form used by nursing schools that get grants to train advanced nurses. They’re keeping both full-time and part-time options for nurse midwives and anesthetists to keep things clear and consistent. If you have thoughts, you’ve got until November 23, 2026, to share them—no money changes, just smoother paperwork!
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Keep Full‑Time and Part‑Time Columns
HRSA will keep both the Full‑Time and Part‑Time columns under the Nurse Midwife and Nurse Anesthetist specialty headers in Table 2 of the Advanced Nursing Education (ANE) Program Specific Form. This means schools that train nurse midwives or nurse anesthetists will continue to report separate full‑time and part‑time enrollment counts in Table 2.
Combine Funding Preference Reporting Rows
HRSA will change Table 1 (Funding Preference) on the ANE Program Specific Form to collect the combined number of graduates/program completers employed in funding preference settings (Rural Area, Medically Underserved Community, State or Local Health Department) in a single row instead of three separate rows (1a, 1b, 1c). HRSA says this avoids double counting since those settings are not mutually exclusive and reduces applicant confusion.
Estimated Time Burden for Applicants
HRSA estimates the ANE Program Specific Form imposes an average burden of 7 hours per response. The table lists 345 total respondents and 345 total annual responses, with a combined estimated annual burden of 2,415 hours across all respondents.
