FY 2026 Nursing Funding Request

House Nursing Caucus leaders are circulating a Dear Colleague letter that requests $530 million for the Health Resources and Services Administration’s Nursing Workforce Development programs (Title VIII of the Public Health Service Act) in Fiscal Year (FY) 2026. As you know, these programs are critical to the nursing community and support nursing students, nurses, and advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs). HPNA needs your help to get as many representatives’ signatures on the letter as possible to make a strong case to Appropriations Committee leaders to support this funding level for FY 2026.

Please click on the link below to ask your representative to sign on to the House Dear Colleague letter. The deadline for lawmakers to sign on is Friday, April 25th. The letter is being circulated by House Nursing Caucus Co-Chair Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR-01) and Vice Chair Rep. Jen Kiggans (R-VA-02).

Please act now–every signature counts!
