Review the eligibility of your Critical Shortage Facility and be prepared!

NURSE Corps Loan Repayment Program Applicant:

The next NURSE Corps Loan Repayment Program application cycle is expected to open in January 2017. To expedite the application submission process, potential applicants and facility administrators are encouraged to have their Critical Shortage Facility (CSF) reviewed for eligibility for participation in the NURSE Corps Loan Repayment Program. Eligible NURSE Corps sites or CSFs are defined as a health care facility located in, designated as, or serving a mental health or primary medical care Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA). Additional information about eligible health care facilities can be found on page 8 on the NURSE Corps LRP Application and Program Guidance.

For those who have already submitted your site for review in previous years, please disregard this message.

Potential applicants and facility administrators may submit their facility information toCSF_Request@hrsa.gov beginning November 14 through November 30, 2016. Notifications of facility eligibility will be confirmed by the NURSE Corps staff no later than December 31, 2016, via email. Please note: All notifications will be sent to the email address initiating the request.

When submitting a health care facility to the NURSE Corps LRP for consideration, please provide the following information:

Your Name
Name of the facility and its specific location (i.e., satellite facility cannot use main facility address)
Full mailing address of the facility including street address, City, State, and Zip code (Do not use P.O. Box)
Profit Status
Your site type. (Review the list of eligible facilities.)
