Grant Overview
Montana's 147,000 square miles contain 56 counties where 68 percent of residents live in frontier-designated areas with fewer than six people per square mile. Families in these zones face documented 180-day waits for in-person autism evaluations because no board-certified behavior analysts maintain offices east of Billings or west of Missoula. The $50,000 pilot awards support tele-therapy trials that must prove delivery across counties averaging 45 miles between households.
Montana's economy centers on agriculture, mining, and tourism, producing a workforce where 34 percent of parents work seasonal or shift schedules incompatible with clinic hours. American Indian reservations in the north and east add separate sovereignty considerations that affect consent and data-sharing agreements. State health department figures indicate only 12 percent of remote school districts maintain reliable video platforms meeting HIPAA standards.
Eligibility for the awards requires Ph.D.-led teams to partner with at least one Montana university extension office and document broadband testing at three distinct rural speeds below 10 Mbps. Applications must include contingency protocols for winter road closures that isolate counties such as Garfield and Petroleum for weeks. The pilot period measures completed tele-therapy sessions against a baseline of zero in the target zip codes.
Unlike Idaho or Wyoming, Montana requires demonstration of extreme rural delivery capacity due to frontier county designation and reservation-specific regulatory overlays.
