    The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is offering a funding opportunity titled the Nursing Home Staffing Campaign, aimed at enhancing the quality of care in nursing homes by addressing staffing shortages. This initiative seeks to recruit registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs) to work in nursing homes or in oversight roles for state inspection agencies, providing financial incentives such as loan repayment and stipends for a commitment of three years. With an estimated total program funding of $80 million and the expectation of awarding five cooperative agreements, interested applicants from private institutions of higher education can submit their proposals by the estimated award date of May 15, 2026, with project activities expected to commence on June 1, 2026.
