Rounds to look at

I found no open or upcoming round in New Jersey 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

The program FAQ explicitly states that the six first-year competitive grant applications are closed. Future competitive opportunities will be posted when available; the five-year program continues.

A round in New Jersey 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.
