In essence, the program aims to support the development of collaborative practice environments that deliver patient and population-centered quality health care that is safe, efficient, effective and equitable.

In addition, the program also seeks to increase the number of skilled nurses in the interprofessional collaborative practice.

It is also within the scope of the program to create and expand practice environments which are comprised of nursing and other professional disciplines engaged in collaborative practice innovations.

To support the initiatives of this program, the HRSA is set to administer funds in the amount of $10,000,000.

The institutions and organizations who will be assumed eligible to submit an application under this program are the following:

a) Health care facilities such as Indian Health Service health centers, Native Hawaiian health centers, hospitals, federally-qualified health centers, rural health clinics, nursing homes, home health agencies, hospice programs, public health clinics, state or local departments of public health, skilled nursing facilities, and ambulatory surgical center

b) Accredited Schools of Nursing

c) A partnership between a school and a health care facility.

The Department of Health and Human Services, the mother agency funding the Advanced Education Nursing Traineeship Program, is the nation's premiere agency for the protection of the health of all Americans and the provision of essential human services to everyone.
