Rounds to look at
I found no open or upcoming round in North Dakota 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 7, 2026

What CMS has announced for North Dakota
Funding is one part of the job
A round in North Dakota 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.
Thirty minutes, confidential, no cost.
