BEAD Application Process
NDIT is implementing a competitive process to identify and select eligible providers and projects for BEAD grant funding allocation. This process, outlined in Volume II of North Dakota’s Initial Proposal, will require prospective subgrantees to submit information regarding locations of proposed project areas in additional to various documents, data and information to address program requirements. This information will be scored according to the scoring rubric documented in Volume II.
Timeline
Thus far, the state has conducted the Challenge Process, pre-application, and Round 1 of BEAD Applications. Round 2 is now live and open for submissions through 5pm CDT May 9, 2025. Following the close of Round 2, NDIT will review applications, deconflict those with overlapping locations, and request updated information, as needed. NDIT will score applications and notify successful subgrantees of award determination.
