(1) Approximately fifteen per cent of the available funds shall be awarded in grants to prelicensure education programs for licensed practical nurses approved by the board under section 4723.06 of the Revised Code, if the program allows students, following licensure as a licensed practical nurse, to transition into a registered nursing program approved by the board during the student's second year (a one plus one program);

(2) Approximately thirty five per cent of the available funds shall be awarded in grants to prelicensure education programs for registered nurses approved by the board under section 4723.06 of the Revised Code; and

(B) The board has discretion to reallocate funds among one or more of the three grant categories set forth in paragraphs (A)(1) to (A)(3) of this rule to one or more other grant categories if no grant proposals are submitted in a category, if none of the proposals received in a category meet the funding criteria established in section 4723.063 of the Revised Code, or if funds remain in a category after all eligible grant applications have been considered by the board.

(D) Grant awards shall not exceed two hundred thousand dollars per grant, per grant cycle.
