What Is This Program?

The Nursing Home Staffing Campaign (NHSC) is aimed at increasing the availability of nurses, registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical nurses or licensed vocational nurses (LPNs), to work in the nursing home environment, such as in qualifying nursing homes or in an oversight capacity for a state inspection agency. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is focused on helping to recruit RNs and LPNs to work in nursing homes by offering financial incentives. CMS is accepting applications for cooperative agreements to entities that will administer financial incentives, such as tuition reimbursement and stipends to nurses, to work for three years in a qualifying nursing home or in an oversight role with a state agency.
