My first time applying. I found the reference note confusing (paraphrased) “in recent years we have only had funding to award to RNs with DTI ratio >100% and to nurse faculty with DTI <100%.”
What about NPs? My DTI ratio is about 90% so I’m wondering if I have any chance?

Try using the HPSA "Find Shortage Area by Address" and then putting in the address of the facility you work at. That was the best way I got a straightforward answer.

Not sure what the actual stats are but I know they designate a LOT of funds for NPs. Definitely don't give up hope.

Thanks! This is what I get:
Dental - 8
Mental - 16
Primary - 10
Does it matter which one is higher or does it go by the top score? Sorry, I’m not sure how it all works!

Hi everyone. Just starting this since I didn't see a thread for this application cycle. I received the NCLRP in 2009 and this is the 3rd time applying in the last 5 years.
NP with DTI ~150% and HPSA 17
