NCC letter outlines FY 2023 omnibus requests

The Nursing Community Coalition this week sent a letter to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees requesting the funding levels that advanced out of the House Appropriations Committee. NCC requests at least $324.472 million for Title VIII Nursing Workforce Development Programs and at least $208.571 million for the National Institute of Nursing Research in the Fiscal Year 2023 Omnibus. “As the nation evaluates lessons learned from COVID-19, it is imperative that funding for these programs reflects the heightened needs of our communities, especially as nurses across the country remain on the frontlines of this, and other, public health challenges,” the letter states. AONL and 61 other nursing organizations signed the letter. (NCC letter, 11/15/22)
