North Carolina S1005 establishes a grant program to increase the number of midwives by funding midwife training programs at UNC institutions.
North Carolina S1005 establishes the Midwifery Education Grant Program for the 2026-2027 fiscal year to increase the number of midwives. The program allocates $20 million in nonrecurring funds to eligible constituent institutions of the University of North Carolina to establish midwife training programs. Eligible institutions must have an advanced practice registered nurse degree program but lack a midwife training program. Grants prioritize institutions that are HBCUs, located near a partner hospital, or have a plan to establish a program quickly.
