Frequently Asked Questions 

Posted: May 8, 2026

1. With such a tight turn-around for this competition, how is it feasible to create a well developed proposal?
   Answer: We appreciate you raising this concern. North Dakota Health and Human Services (ND HHS) will continue to monitor its timelines to ensure RHTP grant fundings opportunities are timely posted, evaluated, and awarded within the tight timeline established by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). 
    
2. Are all of the grants in the category, "strengthen and stabilize rural health workforce" released? This grant doesn't appear to relate to new to the field pipeline, will there be another grant to cover the "expand rural healthcare training pipeline" strategic priority?
   Answer: No, not all funding opportunities in initiative 2 have been released. At this stage, all funding opportunity details have not been finalized. We encourage you to visit our website and sign up for RHTP updates to receive timely notifications as new opportunities and resources are released.
    
3. In the RFP, in the funding opportunity section second bullet point it, second sentence states, "This must include training on coding and billing." Is this a must or is it suppose to say can include training on billing and coding?
   Answer: Business-practice training that promotes the sustainable employment of staff receiving training in place must include training on coding and billing. This was noted in ND’s RHTP application, as noted on pages 4-6 of the appendices.
    
4. We submitted an application for a funding opportunity, and now recognize that some of our proposal aligns with a new funding opportunity just posted. Do we need to apply for both? If we apply for both, can we be awarded for both?
   Answer: Yes, applicants must submit an application for each funding opportunity that they want to be considered for. Applicants can be awarded multiple funding opportunities. However, the same project cannot be funded by two different funding opportunities.
    
5. If we want to submit more than one application for this opportunity, how do we do that? When I click on the Qualtrics link in the RFP, it takes me to the application I've already started.
   Answer: One application per organization should be submitted. As stated in the application guidance, if there are multiple strategies, please number in order of priority.
    
6. Can a higher education institution propose a program for individual skill building awards by itself, or must it partner with a health care employer who provides the awards to its employees? If it can propose a program by itself, would the workers doing the program then have a five-year commitment to their respective employer?
   Answer: Yes, however, the five-year service commitment must be managed by the awarded applicant. ND HHS will have an agreement with the awarded facility. The awarded facility must manage the five-year service commitment. As noted in the guidance, formal copies of policies, procedures, and service commitment agreements will be submitted to ND HHS for review and approval before any financial incentive can be issued to an employee and before submission of a request for reimbursement. Instructions on how to submit these will be included in the agreement. Additionally noted in the guidance, staff completing a training program must be employed and on the payroll at the time this funding application was posted. If funds are used for staff to complete a training program, please identify staff person in the budget.
    
7. One section of the RFP says the plan “must” include training on billing & coding, while a different section in the RFP says “can” including training on billing and coding. Can you please clarify if training on billing and coding is a required activity for this funding? What if the billing and coding staff are all housed at the urban headquarters, while the project being submitted is specifically for a rural site of the organization?
   Answer: Coding and billing must be included, as noted on pages 3 of the application guidance. Page 9 of the guidance states the definition of train in place, noting this may include business practice training on coding, billing and more that promotes the sustainable employment of staff receiving training or credentialing in place. The may is stated here as applicants do not have to include business practice training in their proposal.
    
8. If we submit a proposal for a “planning” of a train in place program, but it doesn’t take the full grant year to plan, can we shift to implementation and start training people during the year one grant?
   Answer: An awarded applicant could shift to implementation. However, funds for this train in place funding opportunity are only for the planning phase. ND HHS anticipates additional funding opportunities in future RHTP years for implementation.
    
9. Regarding the five-year service commitment for the workforce funding: Are there any places where North Dakota’s standards are different or more specific than what is outlined in this CMS document? https://www.cms.gov/files/document/5-year-service-commitment-fact-sheet.pdf
   Answer: North Dakota is following CMS’s requirements for the five-year service commitment.
    
10. Regarding the five-year service commitment for the workforce funding opportunities: How will this be tracked, reported and enforced? Will the state have pay-back penalties for those who don't complete the five-year term? Do commitments apply to a specific facility, or to ND as a whole?
    Answer: ND HHS will have an agreement with the awarded facility. The awarded facility will have a relationship with the employee, and the service commitment must be managed at that level. The facility must determine their action in relation to the employee and include this in their policies and procedures. There is a sample service commitment agreement on the funding opportunity webpage.
     
11. Does an educational organizations need to apply with a rural community healthcare organization? Can an educational organization apply on there own to offer virtual/remote training to rural residents across the state? 
    Answer: Yes, however, the training must be provided in a rural community and be sustainable in the rural areas. The applicant must provide justification on how training can be provided and sustained in rural areas. Additionally, if individual skill-building awards are offered, the awarded applicant must manage the five-year service commitment and staff completing a training program must be employed and on the payroll at the time this funding application was posted and be identified in the submitted budget.
     
12. If an entity has both urban and rural locations, are applications accepted for just the rural location?
    Answer: The training for the train in place funding opportunity must occur in the rural area. Additionally, for RHTP funding opportunities, the entities within the cities of Grand Forks, Fargo, West Fargo and Bismarck are considered urban and do not qualify for RHTP funding opportunities unless the population served by the grant applicant is at least 50% ND rural citizens or the focus of the grant funding will be used for ND rural citizens. RHTP funding must be used to support ND rural citizens.
    If the applicant is urban, they must justify how the training would be provided in a rural area and serve at least 50% ND rural citizens.
     
13. If we, as an educational organization, are submitting an application for the train in place grant and a nonprofit organization asks to list us as a partner in their application, may we allow them to list us?   
    Answer: RHTP cannot duplicate pay for services rendered and would require cross examination to ensure there is not crossover in the scopes of work.
     
14. Some of the state's language regarding the 50% threshold say "50% rural or tribal," and other state language says "50% rural and tribal."  How should we interpret that? If a project is focused on Native American populations within an urban area, does that meet the requirement?  
    Answer: For RHTP funding opportunities, the entities within the cities of Grand Forks, Fargo, West Fargo and Bismarck are considered urban and do not qualify for RHTP funding opportunities unless the population served by the grant applicant is at least 50% ND rural citizens or the focus of the grant funding will be used for ND rural citizens. RHTP funding must be used to support ND rural citizens. If the applicant is urban, they must justify how the training would be provided in a rural area and serve at least 50% ND rural citizens.
     
15. Does this one require board approval?
    Answer: No, this will vary by funding opportunity.
     
16. Can this funding be used to support current staff attending trainings/programs that leads to certifications or degrees? (For example, becoming a certified footcare nurse or tuition reimbursements for moving from an LPN to RN).
    Answer: The train in place funding opportunity allows for the offering for individual skill-building awards. As stated in the guidance, these awards can support the existing workforce in obtaining new credentials, enhancing competencies or completing approved training programs. However, these training opportunities must be provided in the staff’s rural communities and certificate or degree programs would require a five-year service commitment.
     
17. Will the Qualtrics submission forms for all of the RHTP opportunities have the save and return function?
    Answer: Yes, progress is automatically saved every time you click the next button at the bottom of a page. If you need to stop, you can close your browser and resume within one week. To resume, click the original survey link again from the same device and browser. This feature will not work if you are using a provide or incognito browser window.
     
18. On the budget drop down menu, what is the priority area for this opportunity?
    Answer: Expand rural healthcare training pipeline.
     
19. If, for example, you are proposing a physician training in place, do those physicians have to be currently employed with the organization?
    Answer: For applicants proposing individual skill-build awards, the physicians must be currently employed. If an applicant is proposing to use the funds to plan and develop a train in place program, the physicians do not need to currently be employed at this time; as a reminder the planning option does not cover implementation.
     
20. Can scholarships be offered by healthcare institutions for staff to attend higher ed institutions to receive the certification?
    Answer: The training must be provided in a rural community and be sustainable in the rural areas. The applicant must provide justification on how training can be provided and sustained in rural areas. Additionally, individual skill-building awards may lead to a five-year service commitment. CMS has indicated that ND HHS and award recipients should not use the term “scholarship” and instead use a different term, such as education award, awards, tuition waiver, or funding awards.
     
21. Can this funding be used to offer tuition waivers or scholarships?
    Answer: The training must be provided for the existing workforce in a rural community. The applicant must provide justification on how training can be provided and sustained in rural areas. Additionally, individual skill-building awards may lead to a five-year service commitment. CMS has indicated that ND HHS and award recipients should not use the term “scholarship” and instead use a different term, such as education award, awards, tuition waiver, or funding awards.
     
22. Are there character or word count limits, for example per question, within the Qualtrics application?  
    Answer: Some fields may be limited. Applicants are encouraged to be as concise and specific as possible in their responses.
     
23. Is a state agency that functions as a K–12 school eligible to apply, or are state agencies excluded regardless of their educational role?
    Answer: As a reminder, the train in place funding opportunity is for the existing workforce, not students.
     
24. Does a person getting support for training tuition have to be employed at a healthcare organizations or can these funds be used for scholarships for students attending a virtual/remote program through one of the state's colleges or universities but have not entered the workforce.
    Answer: The train in place funding opportunity is for the existing workforce. As noted in the guidance, staff completing a training program must be employed and on the payroll at the time this funding application was posted. If funds are used for staff to complete a training program, please identify staff person in the budget. CMS has indicated that ND HHS and award recipients should not use the term “scholarship” and instead use a different term, such as education award, awards, tuition waiver or funding awards.
     
25. For clarification....if you have two proposal ideas for train in place....one that impacts the eastern part of the state and another proposal for the western part of that state, those proposals can't be made separately, you have to include both those proposals in a single, Qualtrics application? And presumably with the budget limit of a single project?
    Answer: Yes, an organization should submit one application. If there are multiple strategies and activities, please number in order of priority.
     
26. How does ND HHS define and document "ND rural citizens served"?  If our organization is headquartered in an urban excluded city will we qualify if we have satellite office(s) in rural areas; if our patients are rural; staff is working out of a rural office?  How is the 50% rural populations served measured - patients, encounters, census?
    Answer: An urban applicant must provide justification for how the population served by the applicant is at least 50% ND rural citizens or the focus of the grant funding will be used for ND rural citizens. Rural citizens may include patients, workforce or other.
     
27. So if someone goes thru a certificate program we offer through this funding does that person have to abide by a five-year service commitment to our organization. Is this the intent?
    Answer: Yes, individual skill-building awards to obtain a certificate will require a five-year service commitment. The current funding for planning and development of a train in place program does not include implementation and would not involve a five-year service commitment.
     
28. When referring to "individual skill-building awards," does that mean that funding can be used as scholarships to external training opportunities that are virtual or within the rural community (meaning the training would not be organized or administered in-house by the applicant)?
    Answer: Individual skill-building awards must be offered and completed in the rural community. This can include offering courses virtually. As a reminder, individual skill-building awards may lead to a five-year service commitment and staff completing a training program must be employed and on the payroll at the time this funding application was posted. If funds are used for staff to complete a training program, please identify staff person in the budget. CMS has indicated that ND HHS and award recipients should not use the term “scholarship” and instead use a different term, such as education award, awards, tuition waiver or funding awards.
     
29. If the training program takes place online and is targeted to rural ND, does that qualify for this grant?
    Answer: Individual skill-building awards must be offered and completed in the rural community. This can include offering courses virtually. As a reminder, individual skill-building awards may lead to a five-year service commitment and staff completing a training program must be employed and on the payroll at the time this funding application was posted. If funds are used for staff to complete a training program, please identify staff person in the budget.
     
30. One of the metrics is that 200 students will complete train in place programs - if year one funding is for planning and setting up infrastructure, is the expectation that 200 students will complete program years 2-5? 
    Answer: Yes. In this instance, student refers to those completing a train in place program, who must be part of the existing workforce.
     
31. If an employee virtually attends a university in an urban area; however their virtual location is rural could the entity that applies for this funding provide tuition reimbursement for the employee.  
    Answer: Individual skill-building awards must be offered and completed in the rural community. This can include offering courses virtually. As a reminder, individual skill-building awards may lead to a five-year service commitment and staff completing a training program must be employed and on the payroll at the time this funding application was posted. If funds are used for staff to complete a training program, please identify staff person in the budget.
     
32. Just to clarify, only 15 awards will be awarded for approximately $135,000 per award, correct?

33. Are rural school educators who wish to become certified as school or clinical counselors or social workers within the rural school, eligible to receive training?  
    Answer: The train in place funding opportunity is intended to support the rural healthcare workforce. At this time education staff are not included.
     
34. Does all training need to take place in ND? Some programs are not offered in our state.
    Answer: Yes, the train in place programs must take place in rural ND communities. For individual skill-building awards, this can take place virtually.
     
35. Are organizations able to utilize the funds for training that supports retention practices (e.g., career/clinical ladder)? Additionally, may we utilize the funding for workflow redesign?
    Answer: No, retention and workflow redesign are not eligible for the train in place funding opportunity. They may fall under a different aspect of North Dakota’s RHTP and additional funding opportunities will continue to be posted to address the projects identified in North Dakota’s application.
     
36. Can we use these funds to pay for current workforce to complete online trainings to obtain certifications?
    Answer: Individual skill-building awards must be offered and completed in the rural community. This can include offering courses virtually. As a reminder, individual skill-building awards resulting in obtaining certifications will require a five-year service commitment and staff completing a training program must be employed and on the payroll at the time this funding application was posted. If funds are used for staff to complete a training program, please identify staff person in the budget.
     
37. Are you able to provide some clarification and examples on "strong measurable outcomes"?
    Answer: When writing outcomes, applicants are encouraged to use the SMART acronym, which stands for specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound.
     
38. If these awards are for year one funding, do you anticipate new applications being accepted for subsequent years or will funding for years 2-5 be following these same awardees for year one?  
    Answer: Yes, we anticipate future funding opportunities for train in place programs.
     
39. If our proposal needs adjustments for alignment, what level of post-award negotiation is realistic - given ND HHS states the agreement terms will not change?
    Answer: For pre-award budget adjustments, ND HHS may work with applicants on follow up questions or renegotiations before submitting to CMS. Once budgets are submitted to CMS for approval, we may receive additional questions to be addressed with applicants. Post-award budget adjustments may be considered and would require ND HHS and CMS approval before those are made. For the agreement, there will not be any opportunities for negotiation due to the strict timeline of the program.
     
40. Would clinical counselors working in rural schools be considered healthcare workers?
    Answer: The train in place funding opportunity is intended to support the rural healthcare workforce. At this time education staff are not included.
     
41. If a local ND resident applied (our provider or nurse) but their online program is offered from a different state (online classes), would that still be an acceptable?
    Answer:  Applicants must be an organization, not an individual. Individual skill-building awards offered from an awarded applicant must be completed in the rural community. This can include offering courses virtually. As a reminder, individual skill-building awards may lead to a five-year service commitment and staff completing a training program must be employed and on the payroll at the time this funding application was posted. If funds are used for staff to complete a training program, please identify staff person in the budget.
     
42. We have several facility locations across the state. Different locations are interested in the train in place grant for different projects. Can I submit more than one application?
    Answer: Facilities with the same EIN can apply separately if they are in separate locations. This should be clearly noted in the application.
     
43. If the funding opportunity for bullet one is to develop a new train in place program in year one and to be implemented in years 2-5, will those that received planning money be a priority for funds for implementation or with they have to reapply for funds to implement the training program?
    Answer: ND HHS anticipates additional funding opportunities in future RHTP years for implementation.
     
44. Does the individual skills building require the individual to use a program within North Dakota or can it use an out-of-state university or credentialing program?
    Answer: Individual skill-building awards can be completed through any appropriate program. As a reminder, individual skill-building awards may lead to a five-year service commitment and staff completing a training program must be employed and on the payroll at the time this funding application was posted. If funds are used for staff to complete a training program, please identify staff person in the budget.
     
45. Question: The purpose of this funding opportunity is for planning and infrastructure for train in place programs. If we get through the planning process and the infrastructure, can we start operating the program before year two of RHTP funding is announced?  IE – We have a plan in place, we get through the planning phase by October 2027, can we start operating at that point?
    Answer: An awarded applicant could shift to implementation. However, funds for this train in place funding opportunity are only for the planning phase. ND HHS anticipates additional funding opportunities in future RHTP years for implementation.
     
46. If the cost of equipment needed for a program exceeds $135,000, can we supplement costs with other funding?
    Answer: Yes, there is a box on the budget form titled “Match” that you will list the extra funds you will be providing and can list where they will be coming from in the justification directly below. This box is titled “Source of match funds if applicable”.

9. If approved, when can equipment starts to be purchased? And how fast would expenses be reimbursed?
   Answer: Purchasing cannot happen until the contract has officially been executed. So that is not allowable until it has been approved through North Dakota Health and Human Services, CMS and then the contract areas. Typically, expenses will be going through our PRS, which we do have the information on the website on how to get registered for payment request opportunities to be sent. Typically, that'll take less than five business days for processing through the PRS system. And then we also ask for five business days for processing through the AP side, whether it's a check or ACH that you have set up with the state.

24. Can UND help with deidentified data collection, analysis and reporting?
    Answer: This would depend on how North Dakota’s rural and tribal, public and private schools, regional education associations and/or school consortiums writes its application. For example, if a school district says we want to partner with UND, it may be possible. The funds would go directly to the school district and the school district would pay UND as a subcontractor under their budget template.
     
25. If UND wants to use the data for research or publication later, would that require a separate IRB protocol and school approval beyond the grant reporting requirements?

Or if several schools are considering applying from one district, do they risk that a lower priority school is awarded funds over a higher priority school from the same district?
    Answer: Each school within that district could apply for funding. No, they would not risk receiving lower priority. Each school’s application will be reviewed independently.
     
38. I am wondering if NDSU would be an eligible grant recipient. We are interested in supporting a coalition of schools with implementation
    Answer: Funding eligibility is restricted to North Dakota’s rural and tribal, public and private schools, regional education associations and/or school consortiums. If a school district says we want to partner with NDSH, the funds would go directly to the school district and the school district would pay NDSH as a subcontractor under their budget template.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Posted: May 11, 2026

1. Is there a recommended type of step tracker or total cost limit per step tracker? i.e. are you thinking of simple pedometers, trackers that include health biometrics, trackers that are interoperable with EHRs or other applications?
   Answer: There are no recommended trackers. However, you want to make sure that the purchase of the trackers fit within the scope of the program. For example, simple trackers will often more than suffice to get the job done for a straightforward eight plus week walking program. Our best advice is to purchase the most affordable ones that will get the job done. Also, be sure to think about providing physical walking logs so that these numbers can be recorded.
    
2. The Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians (TMBCI), Belcourt, ND would like to know if a proposal, which reflects the cultural heritage of the tribe will be considered. Specifically, can the proposal include the use of horses in the community walk to align with the cultural connection of TMBCI to their horse relatives? Further, are walks, which reconnect tribal members to the traditional medicines of the Anishinabe, reflect the cultural goals of this health initiative? Answer: Yes.
    
3. Does every participant need to be provided with an activity tracker? What if they already have something that does this like a phone app, watch Fitbit etc. Do you just need to offer it for each participant, but not all need to accept?
   Answer: No, every participant does not need to be provided with a tracker. And certainly, they can use their own. However, we want to make sure that their numbers get recorded in some sort of step log so that we can measure progress.
    
4. For health coaching, is there a targeted number or percentage of participants this should be used by?
   Answer: No, there is no specific target. However, we just want to make sure that if people want a little extra attention or guidance program champions are available to help.
    
5. Is there a matching funding requirement? 
   Answer: No
    
6. Is there a particular curriculum or walking program that you want us to initiate? I know you've mentioned the Macks Creek, MO multi-week walking program; however, what did their program entail? Was it a six-week program and additional walking opportunities in the community? Or do we tailor this walking program to what seems best fit for our community?
   Answer: There is no specific recommended program. However, whatever the format, it is important that people commit to walking during the week, their numbers get recorded and we strongly recommend having a community walk at least once per week where everyone can gather and move as a community.
   Also, during the onboarding process for grant recipients, we will discuss a variety of different approaches. For the purposes of your application, you should set forth some ideas that you feel will work best for your community. Be creative.
    
7. How many pages is the narrative allowed?
   Answer: This section will accommodate any answers you might have. However, it is strongly encouraged to be direct and to the point.
    
8. Will there be a place in the Qualtrics portal to upload a logic model, timeline, evaluation plan?
   Answer: No.
    
9. Is the $125K award a hard stop or will proposals with modest expansion of the budget target be considered based upon rural community need described in the narrative?
   Answer: We will indeed consider proposals that exceed $125K. However, if more funds are requested, the justification and approaches must be clear and compelling.
    
10. Should an organization preparing a proposal for this competition create a five-year budget with each year mapping out progress toward the seven recommended outcomes? Or is the budget for year one only allowed and potential funding renewal (year two) remains contingent on how well the project met its goals in that funding year (August 1, 2026 - September 30, 2027)?
    Answer: No, this budget is only for year one. Each year, projects will have the opportunity to renew their funding for up to five years.
     
11. Would purchase of a health monitoring kiosk for height, weight, bp be an allowable expense for this program?
    Answer: Yes, this could be an allowable expense for this program.
     
12. Could these grants be used to improve walking facilities, i.e., a gym floor used for the current walking group needs repair?
    Answer: Modest renovations would be allowed. This will be considered and reviewed on a case-by-case basis. RHTP program does not allow funds to be used for construction or cosmetic upgrades, but does allow for minor renovations and retrofitting of existing areas so long as it would not materially increase the value of the property or useful life as a direct cost.
