Rural Health Care Workforce Retention

Summary

the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP). The RFI is exploring opportunities to support rural healthcare worker retention by identifying potential resilience programs to reduce isolation and burnout. As indicated by the official eMACS/bids.mt.gov listing, DLI seeks information on existing data sets regarding workplace wellness, existing programs and pilot initiatives supporting providers in rural and frontier communities, and invites recommendations on structuring a future procurement or grant-funded project. This includes guidance on separating baseline data from intervention work, vendor selection, planning/pilot phases, occupational/regional priorities, and defining deliverables, measures, timelines, and risk considerations. Open: August 12, 2026, 10:00 AM MDT. Close: August 31, 2026, 2:00 PM MDT.
