Specifically, it would create a grant program that closes the gap between clinical nursing and nurse faculty roles, operating alongside the existing Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) Nurse Faculty Loan Repayment Program (NFLP).
Create a grant program to provide financial support to new and early-career nurse faculty and help recruit and retain qualified nursing educators.
Occurrences
Evidence
The office site’s latest news items are a June 10, 2026 bill to reduce student overdoses and a June 9, 2026 vote to fully fund DHS; nothing in the current posting highlights a nurse-faculty grant effort.
HRSA’s current homepage lists existing health-workforce support, including Faculty Loan Repayment, Nurse Corps Loan Repayment, and Nurse Corps Scholarship programs, and a June 18, 2026 press release on workforce education.
Assessments
The available evidence does not show that David P. Joyce created or materially advanced a new grant program for new and early-career nurse faculty. The cited office activity is unrelated, and the HRSA material shows existing workforce programs rather than fulfillment of the specific promise. There is not enough basis to credit delivery, partial delivery, or a failed but serious attempt.
