The purpose of the program is to enable each grant recipient to— provide new nurse practitioners with clinical training to enable such practitioners to serve as providers in health centers; train new nurse practitioners to work under a model of care that is consistent with the principles set forth by the Report Providing Quality Family Planning Services of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; and establish a model of training for nurse practitioners that specialize in women’s health care that may be replicated nationwide.
Under the program, the Secretary shall award 3-year grants to eligible entities that meet the requirements established by the Secretary, for the purpose of operating the nurse practitioner programs described in subsection
