Rounds to look at

I found no open or upcoming round in South Carolina 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 four SCDHHS initiative application deadlines and SCRA Tech Catalyst deadline have passed. The reviewed pages show awards or award review, not a currently accepting new round.

What CMS has announced for South Carolina

Funding is one part of the job

A round in South Carolina 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.
