View Award Description

Nurse Faculty Loan Program - The purpose of this proposed project is to obtain traineeship support for doctoral students committed to a career as a nurse educator or fulltime advanced practice preceptor, who are enrolled in full-time or part-time study in the PhD and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Programs of the School of Nursing (SON) at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). Our goals for the project include: 1) Recruit students enrolled in the UABSON doctoral programs (PhD and DNP) who intend to assume a full-time nurse faculty position or serve as a full time advanced practice preceptor in academic-practice partnership upon graduation and disseminate information about available NFLP loan funds; 2) Manage and award NFLP loan funds to doctoral students who are fully informed of the requirements of NFLP funding; 3) Prepare NFLP recipients as nurse educators; and 4) Support NFLP recipients in obtaining full-time employment as nurse faculty or advanced practice preceptors following graduation. All NFLP recipients are required to complete coursework to prepare them as nurse educators. Students may select courses from the 15-credit educational concentration that makes up the MSN Nurse Educator specialty track that includes didactic instruction in the faculty role. NFLP funds will be awarded to applicants form the UABSON’s two doctoral programs, the PhD program and the DNP program, both of which are quite diverse with 35.6% of DNP students (n = 690) and 51.2% of PhD students (n = 41) identified as underrepresented minorities. In 2023 - 2024, 92 doctoral students were awarded NFLP funding. In 2024 - 2025, we propose to use NFLP funds to support 168 doctoral students. Since 2008, 453 doctoral students have received NFLP funding. Of this total, 200 doctoral students receiving NFLP funding have graduated from the PhD and DNP programs, of which 154 (77%) have either assumed or are actively seeking faculty positions (recent graduates). The PhD and DNP programs contribute significantly to the number of nurse faculty available in the state of Alabama and the Southeastern U.S. The nurse faculty shortage in Alabama mirrors regional and national statistics. The majority of faculty vacancies (58%) are for faculty positions requiring a doctoral degree. A statutory funding priority is requested because the UAB School of Nursing will give funding priority to doctoral students.
