Reminder and Clarification on Funding Opportunities

Below are reminders and an important clarification regarding funding opportunities:

Increasing Training Capacity in Statewide Healthcare Facilities

Members are reminded that a Solicitation of Interest (SOI) was recently issued for Increasing Training Capacity in Statewide Healthcare Facilities to provide funding to increase the training capacity of health care facilities to prepare, mentor, and train a steady pipeline of high-quality health care professionals. Nursing homes, diagnostic and treatment centers, and hospitals are eligible to apply. The deadline for applications is April 19, 2023 at 4 p.m.

On the March 20th LeadingAge NY member call, we discussed the opportunity and mentioned the New York State Grants Gateway. Upon careful review of the SOI, we wanted to clarify that the grant does not appear to need to be submitted via the Grants Gateway; rather, a completed Application Form (Attachment 2) should be signed by an individual authorized to bind the Eligible Applicant to any Master Grant Contract in the Grants Gateway. In addition, the budget documents reference the Grants Gateway, but again we see no reference to the grant having to be submitted via the Grants Gateway. We apologize for the confusion.

DOH Questions and Answers (Q&As) regarding the SOI are expected on or around March 30th. Click here for more information regarding the SOI and ideas for how the funding could be used.

Nurses Across New York Loan Repayment Program

Members are also reminded that the Nurses Across New York (NANY) SOI applications are due by April 12, 2023. Awards will provide up to $25,000 for a registered nurse (RN) or $10,000 for a licensed practical nurse (LPN) who agrees to practice full-time in an underserved area for the three-year NANY service obligation period. DOH Q&As regarding the SOI are expected to be posted on or around March 23rd. Click here for more information.
