The NFLP – Program Specific Data Form
is a required electronic attachment within the NFLP application
materials. The data provided in the form is essential for the
formula-based criteria used to determine the award amount to the
applicant schools. The form will collect application-related data
from applicants such as the amount requested, number of students to
be funded, tuition information, and projected unused loan fund
balance. The NFLP-Annual Performance Report (APR) Financial Data
Form is an online form that exists in the HRSA Electronic Handbooks
(EHBs) Performance Report module. The NFLP-APR Financial Data Form
collects outcome and financial data to capture the NFLP loan fund
account activity related to financial receivables, disbursements,
and borrower account data related to employment status, loan
cancellation, loan repayment and collections. Participating schools
will provide HHS with current and cumulative information on: (1)
NFLP loan funds received, (2) number and amount of NFLP loans made,
(3) number and amount of loans cancelled, (4) number and amount of
loans in repayment, (5) loan default rate percent, (6) number of
NFLP graduates employed as nurse faculty, and (7) other related
loan fund costs and activities. The NFLP Due-Diligence Form is a
required form to be completed and submitted electronically by NFLP
award recipients. This form indicates that due diligence has been
exercised in the cancellation of all or any remaining NFLP loan for
NFLP borrowers in the event of permanent/total disability or death,
or the write-off of all or any remaining payment of the NFLP loan
as uncollectible/bad debt. The data provided on the form will
verify the due diligence process the institution used for NFLP loan
cancellations or uncollectible debt write-offs. Data collected on
the due-diligence form is essential for HRSA to effectively monitor
performance outcomes and verify the accuracy of the number and
amount of NFLP loan funds cancelled and written off that is
reported by NFLP award recipients during the Annual Performance
Reporting period. The form will collect the student borrower’s
unique ID, amount of loan funds cancelled/written off (principal
plus interest), reason for cancellation/write-off, and
institutional certification/due diligence process
utilized.
