Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 74/100. Clear current public-health/emergency-services funding with a defined applicant pool. N9+ Direct Vendor Fit 0/100 and QC Healthcare Fit 0/100 because the verified scope is specific to newborn safety devices and does not establish a material N9+ or QC Healthcare role. Not Path A; no applicant outreach.
Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services is accepting applications for the state Newborn Safety Device Grant Program. The program supports eligible Montana fire departments, hospitals, and law enforcement agencies with installation and maintenance of qualifying newborn safety devices.
Funding
Individual grants may be awarded up to $20,000 per eligible applicant, with $160,000 in total statewide funding available under the program.
Timing and eligibility
The controlling amended program rule establishes a priority application period through September 11, 2026. Applications may continue to be accepted after that priority period on a rolling basis through March 31, 2027, or until available funds are fully depleted, whichever occurs first. Eligible applicants include qualifying Montana fire departments, hospitals, and law enforcement agencies. Applicants must satisfy the program’s statutory and operational requirements for installation and maintenance of a newborn safety device.
Atlas analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 74/100. This is a clearly funded, currently open Montana public-health and emergency-services opportunity with a defined applicant pool and a rolling period after the priority deadline. N9+ Direct Vendor Fit: 0/100. QC Healthcare Fit: 0/100. The verified scope is specifically for newborn safety devices and does not establish a material role for N9+ remote physical examination technology or QC Healthcare clinical services. Atlas therefore classifies this as a publication and tracking opportunity only, with no Dr. Miltie applicant outreach.
