Welcome to the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) funding opportunities webpage. Here you will find information about the latest opportunities and learn how to apply.
North Dakota lawmakers have approved the RHTP funding. Now we are waiting for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to approve the revised RHTP budget submitted on January 30 due to the difference between CMS’ Notice of Award and the original budget narrative submitted, then we will be able to start posting live links to funding opportunities.
We will be launching multiple funding opportunities as part of North Dakota’s five-year RHTP effort.
The funding is designed to support practical, locally driven solutions that help rural and tribal communities through four pillars:
- Strengthen and Stabilize Rural Health Workforce
- Make North Dakota Healthy Again - Preventive Care, Eating Healthy
- Bring High-Quality Health Care Closer to Home
- Connecting Technology, Data and Providers for a stronger ND
Funding opportunities will be released in phases, with individual applications announced over time.

New Vendors, Contractors, Providers
If you’re new to doing business with the state, there are a few required steps you’ll need to complete before contracting and receiving payment(s).
1. Register with the Secretary of State to perform business in the state.
2. If your organization has not been paid by a state entity before, you must register with vendor registry before you can be paid. Here’s a how-to guide on vendor registration.
3. ND HHS will require a W9 form to set up by your organization within our contract system. If your organization would like to be paid with electronic funds transfer, you need to submit the substitute IRS form W-9.
