Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

North Idaho College has been awarded a $625,000 grant to train health information technology professionals across the state of Idaho. The grant is part of a $6.2 million grant awarded to a consortium of eight community colleges in a 10-state region.

Community colleges funded under this grant will establish intensive training programs that will result in a training certificate that can be completed in six months or less.

The consortium also includes Portland Community College in Oregon, Pueblo Community College in Colorado, Salt Lake Community College in Utah, Montana Tech in Montana, Lakes Region State College in North Dakota and Bellevue College in Washington. Bellevue College will serve as the lead institution for the consortium, which will be responsible for training 2,400 students in health information technology over a two-year period.
