Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

The Nurse Faculty Shortage Reduction Act of 2026 establishes a federal demonstration program to address nursing faculty shortages by providing grants to accredited schools of nursing. These grants would supplement the salaries of newly hired or prospective nursing faculty members for up to three years, with the supplement amount calculated as the difference between average clinical nursing salaries and current faculty salaries. The bill authorizes $15 million annually for fiscal years 2027–2031 and requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to report on the program's impact on faculty recruitment and retention within three years.
