Summary
The purpose of Advanced Nursing Education - Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (ANE-SANE) funding is to provide advanced nurse education to increase the number of Registered Nurses (RNs), Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) and Forensic Nurses who are trained and certified as sexual assault nurse examiners (SANEs) in communities on a local, regional and/or state level. Ideal applicants will have the infrastructure to recruit eligible nurses, coordinate didactic and clinical training with identified partners, monitor and track experiential learning hours and certification completion, and have demonstrated strategies for creating communities of practice that can retain SANEs in the health workforce. The goal of this program to train providers to conduct sexual assault forensic examinations which provide better physical and mental health care for survivors, better evidence collection, and higher prosecution rates.
The ANE-SANE program facilitates SANE training programs to develop innovative methods for provision of effective experiential learning so that participants/trainees can attain the clinical practice hours required for SANE certification. Applicants are encouraged to integrate innovative, virtual training options into SANE training. It is essential for SANE applicants to develop robust community partnerships that strengthen SANE training opportunities and increase access to domestic violence and sexual assault services. In order to increase the supply, access and distribution of SANEs in rural and/or underserved settings, applicants are encouraged to partner with HRSA-supported health centers to recruit, train and provide experiential learning experiences to participants/trainees.
