The FAAN Act authorizes grants to nursing schools to increase enrollment, enhance faculty diversity, and modernize nursing education.
The FAAN Act amends the Public Health Service Act to authorize grants for nursing schools. These grants support increasing the number of nursing students and faculty, enhancing clinical education, and modernizing nursing education programs. Priority is given to schools in medically underserved areas, health professional shortage areas, and rural areas. The grants can be used for faculty recruitment, clinical education partnerships, and infrastructure improvements. The bill also requires a report to Congress on the grants' impact and authorizes $1 billion for these purposes.
