**Strengthens and expands federal support for nursing education to address workforce shortages.** This bill would reauthorize and broaden Title VIII nursing workforce programs, expand eligible training categories, modernize teaching tools, and raise authorized funding for 2026–2030. - Nursing students and trainees: It would explicitly cover Advanced Nursing Education Grants for nurse practitioner programs, nurse-midwives, nurse anesthesia programs, and clinical nurse specialist programs and require fee support to include clinical education and preceptor costs. - Nursing schools and workforce capacity: It would broaden permissible uses to fund methodologies, audiovisual and simulation resources, augmented reality, telehealth, virtual and physical labs, and encourage increasing faculty and student numbers. It would also authorize partnerships with health care facilities, nurse-managed clinics, and community health centers to expand clinical education sites. - Survivors and patient access: It would expand eligibility to include survivors of sexual assault in addition to survivors of domestic violence for certain Title VIII supports. *It would increase authorized Title VIII funding, raising annual authorizations from $137.8 million to $184.3 million and from $117.1 million to $121.1 million for 2026–2030, increasing federal spending by about $50.5 million per year.*

## Provisions PRIA read

Schools that partner with hospitals, nurse‑managed clinics, or community health centers for clinical training could apply. The goal would be to establish or expand clinical education opport…
- More help for advanced nursing students: benefit, medium. If enacted, students in nurse practitioner, nurse‑midwife, nurse anesthesia, and clinical nurse specialist programs could qualify for Advanced Nursing Education Grants. Grants could pay for clinical education and preceptor costs. Schools could also use funds for simulation, augmented reality, teleh…
- Nursing grants include sexual assault survivors: benefit, low. If enacted, survivors of sexual assault would be named alongside survivors of domestic violence under section 831(b). This could make it easier for those survivors to access services supported by these grants.
