Abstract: The NAT grant program provides traineeship support for licensed registered nurses enrolled as full-time students in a master's or doctoral nurse anesthesia program. Traineeships will pay the cost of the tuition, books, and fees, and the reasonable living expenses (stipends) of trainees. The funds appropriated are distributed based on a formula. HRSA uses the data from the application, and the NAT Tables to determine the award, ensure programmatic compliance, and provide information to the public and Congress.
