The purpose of the NELRP is to assist in the recruitment and retention of professional nurses dedicated

to providing health care to under served populations. HRSA is accepting FY 2002 Application now, they are due June 14. Determination of which eligible applicants will receive an award is based on a four-tier preference scale based on the availability of funds.
