This announcement solicits applications for the FY 2017 Nurse Anesthetist Traineeship (NAT) program. Grants are awarded to accredited institutions that educate registered nurses to become nurse anesthetists; recipient institutions, in turn, disburse funds to students in the form of traineeship support. Traineeships will pay full or partial costs of the tuition, books/e-books, fees, and the reasonable living expenses (stipends) of trainees during the period for which the traineeship is provided. Funds appropriated for the NAT program are distributed among all eligible applicant institutions based on a formula.
