Updates federal nursing education grant law to explicitly include advanced practice nursing programs (nurse practitioner, nurse‑midwifery, nurse anesthesia, and clinical nurse specialist programs) as eligible for grants, and to allow grant funds to cover clinical education costs including preceptor support. It broadens allowable activities to include technologies and simulation, faculty and student capacity building, partnerships with clinical sites, and expands protected populations to include survivors of sexual assault. It also raises the authorized funding levels for the program for fiscal years 2026–2030 (replacing earlier FY amounts).
