Application rounds, state by state

A round drops off the open list on its own once its date passes. I reviewed every state on Nov 7, 2026 and re-read the near-term rounds on Nov 9, 2026. This is not a complete census, so if your state shows nothing, call the program office. How this works

  • Oct 30, 2026. Budget period 1 ended. States had to commit that period's money by this date. GAO ↗
  • Nov 30, 2026. Next state quarterly reports are due to CMS. CMS says it will refresh its state figures afterward. No publication date is promised. CMS ↗

Funding is one part of the job

A round can pay for the work. It cannot give you an owner, a plan your board trusts, or a go-live your staff believe in. That is the work I do with community and rural hospitals.
