Rounds to look at

I found no open or upcoming round in Minnesota on the last review. That can change quickly, so call the state program office and ask what is next.

What the state review found, as of Nov 9, 2026

Minnesota’s dedicated RHTP funding page explicitly says there are no current open grants or contracts. It lists provider formula grants and HIT procurements under past notices; the provider grant deadline was extended to May 26 at 4:30 p.m.

Funding is one part of the job

A round in Minnesota 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.
