BEAD Application Process
Per the 6.6.25 BEAD Restructuring Policy Notice, NDIT is implementing a revised competitive process to identify and select eligible providers and projects for BEAD grant funding allocation. This process, initially outlined in Volume II of North Dakota’s Initial Proposal and now amended by the Policy Notice, 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. Components of the application that are no longer required by the NTIA will remain as optional, non-scored sections for providers to submit or omit responses to their preference.

Following this final application round, NDIT will review submissions, deconflict those with overlapping locations, and request updated information, as needed. NDIT will score applications and notify successful subgrantees of conditional award determination.
