Missouri State Board of Nursing awards $3. 1 million in grants to 21 colleges and universities | Missouri Department of Commerce and Insurance (DCI) Missouri State Board of Nursing awards $3. 1 million in grants to 21 colleges and universities Funding supports faculty development, simulation technology and initiatives to strengthen Missouri’s nursing workforce JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.
– Today, the Missouri State Board of Nursing announced $3. 1 million in grant funding for 21 Missouri colleges and universities through the Nursing Education Incentive Program (NEIP), advancing the state’s efforts to recruit, train and retain a high-quality nursing workforce. Since 2011, the board has awarded over $27 million in NEIP grants to expand nursing program capacity and pilot new education programs.
This year’s awards include $1 million in funding approved by Governor Mike Kehoe through an appropriation by the Missouri General Assembly, as well as an additional $2. 1 million allocated from the board. “Missouri is fortunate to have a Governor and legislators who understand and support investing in nursing education,” Missouri State Board of Nursing Executive Director Lori Scheidt said.
“We are also grateful to the Missouri Hospital Association and the Missouri Nurses Association for their continued partnership and support. This program represents a coordinated effort among stakeholders, educators, regulators and lawmakers alike to strengthen Missouri’s nursing pipeline and keep pace with evolving technologies in health care.
” The board prioritized supporting as many programs as possible during the FY25 grant cycle, benefiting seven associate degree programs at community colleges and two-year institutions and 14 Bachelor of Science in Nursing programs at four-year universities. “The acute care nursing shortage cannot be solved unless nursing programs have a reliable stream of nursing graduates.
Nursing programs are facing a shortage of both nursing students and qualified nursing faculty and struggling to maintain clinical placements in urban areas,” Missouri State Board of Nursing Director of Education Amy Ackerson said.
“These grant funds will allow nursing programs to develop competitive faculty salary packages, develop recruitment and retention strategies, develop future faculty through scholarships and nursing educator programs, and invest in clinical simulation technology and equipment,” Ackerson added.
