United States Department of Agriculture: NARA's Training Program initially developed the RM Fundamentals course for USDA in 2019.

Over 75,000 staff across USDA agencies completed the initial version of RM Fundamentals. ACT recently updated the RM Fundamentals course for USDA and over 103,000 staff have completed the new version so far.
