Application Guide
26RFP-26-09RHT-005 seeks a consultant/organization to administer SDDOH's Digital Health Modernization and Technology Grant Program — the program that will sub-grant technology funds to rural healthcare providers across South Dakota. This is a program administrator role, not a direct technology grant to providers.
The administrator will manage the grant program that distributes funds to hospitals and Critical Access Hospitals, FQHCs, tribal clinics, behavioral health providers, and rural health clinics for EHR upgrades, telehealth infrastructure, cybersecurity improvements, and network infrastructure.
Healthcare providers seeking technology grants should NOT apply to this solicitation. Instead, providers should monitor for the Digital Health Modernization Grant Program's sub-grant solicitation that will be released by whoever wins this consultant contract. SD Health Link (sdhealthlink.org) has published a preparation guide for providers expecting to apply to that program.

Initiative: Initiative 1 — Technology and Data Connection for a Healthier South Dakota (largest initiative). Healthcare providers wanting technology grants should watch for the sub-grant program announcement from whoever wins this contract.
