Are the PIN awards only available for new projects or may they be used for preexisting projects?
These awards are intended to support new or additional nursing workforce projects. If a project was started as a pilot and your intention is to bring the program to scale—get it up and running as a viable long-term endeavor—it could qualify. An existing project also qualifies if the award would be used to fund an ambitious, significant expansion of a currently supported foundation project. The award cannot be used to replace your existing source of funds to simply maintain an existing program that you have already funded. An expansion should not be considered as a cost-shifting opportunity to support current projects.
