SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Information Collection Request Title:
Advanced Nursing Education Workforce Program-Specific Data Collection
Forms, OMB No. 0915-0375 Extension.
Abstract: HRSA provides advanced education nursing training grants
to educational institutions to increase the numbers of advanced
education nurses through the Advanced Nursing Education Workforce
(ANEW) Program. The ANEW Program is authorized by Section 811 of the
Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 296j), as amended. This request is
to extend the use of ANEW Program Specific forms, specifically Tables
#1 and #2. There are no proposed changes to these tables. ANEW Table #1
collects information on the types of practice settings where graduates,
who received ANEW support as students, are currently employed. The data
on graduates' employment practice settings demonstrate the distribution
of specialties, i.e., nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists
and nurse midwives, who are practicing in rural, underserved, public
health nursing, and Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSA) practice
settings. ANEW Table #2 requests information on the projected number of
primary care advanced practice registered nursing student enrollees/
trainees who will receive traineeship support for each upcoming budget
year over the entire project period. This data provides a baseline for
comparison to data collected on the numbers of students/enrollees/
trainees supported that are reported on the Annual Performance Reports.
A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on January 22,
2020, vol. 85, No. 14; pp. 3697-3698. There were no public comments.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: ANEW Program-Specific
Table #1 captures data on the number of graduates of the academic
partner applicant who received HRSA support and are currently employed
in rural areas, undeserved areas, public health nursing, and HPSA
practice settings. The graduate data collected measure the impact of
the ANEW Program in meeting the legislative and program goals. ANEW
Program-Specific Table #2 collects information on the projected number
of students/enrollees to receive traineeship support each budget year
of the project period and provides a baseline for student/enrollee
support that is reported in the Annual Performance Reports. Collecting
this data assists HRSA in carrying out the most impactful program and
ensuring resources are used responsibly.
Likely Respondents: Likely respondents will be current ANEW
awardees, who will submit the data tables as part of a Noncompeting
Continuation progress report, and applicants for the ANEW program,
including schools of nursing, nursing centers, academic health centers,
state or local governments, and other public or private nonprofit
entities determined appropriate by the Secretary that are accredited to
carry out primary care nurse practitioner and nurse midwifery programs
by a national nurse education accrediting agency recognized by the
Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education. The school must be
located in one of the 50 U.S. States, the District of Columbia, Guam,
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, the
Virgin Islands, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Federated
States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, or the
Republic of Palau.
Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the
information requested. This includes the time needed to review
instructions; to develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and
