The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is offering a federal grant opportunity titled the Nursing Home Staffing Campaign (NHSC) aimed at recruiting Registered Nurses (RNs) and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) to work in nursing homes or state survey agencies for a three-year period. This initiative seeks to address staffing shortages in nursing homes by providing financial incentives, including loan repayment of up to $40,000 and stipends of $10,000, to eligible nursing professionals. With a total funding pool of $80 million, CMS plans to award between 5 to 10 cooperative agreements, with individual awards ranging from $1.76 million to $20 million, while emphasizing the importance of minimizing administrative costs to maximize funds for nurse incentives. Interested applicants must submit their proposals by March 27, 2026, and can direct inquiries to NHSC@cms.hhs.gov for further information.
