Note: Renewal applications only. There is no competitive solicitation of grantees. Registration and Pre-Qualification: Prior to applying for any Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), every applicant must first be registered and prequalified through the following steps. This must be done on or before the application's due date or their application CANNOT be accepted. •Apply for or update their DUNS number (https://www.dandb.com/ ). This must be done yearly. •Apply for or update their SAM registration and receive a SAM cage code. (https://www.SAM.gov) This must be done yearly. •Be registered and in good standing with the Illinois Secretary of State. (http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/ ) (This is not required of governmental entities and schools.) •Register with the GATA/CSFA system at https://grants.illinois.gov/registration/ . The system will automatically check your registrations with the above mentioned systems. It will also check to see if your entity is on the federal excluded parties list and if your entity is on the State of Illinois Stop Pay/Compliance list. If your entity is not up-to-date on the registrations, or is listed on the federal list or Illinois Stop Pay/Compliance list, your application will not be accepted until these situations are resolved. If a change to the registration information is needed at a later date, grantees may re-enter the system at https://grants.illinois.gov/registration/login.aspx . No applications can be accepted for review until these steps are successfully accomplished. (Only after your entity has completed the above registration/pre-qualification steps will a state agency be allowed to accept your grant application for consideration, and that application must still be submitted by the respective due date.) Grant Application, Program Plan (if applicable), Budget, and Programmatic Risk Assessment: At the time of application, the grantee must submit the grant application, the program plan (if applicable), the budget, and the programmatic risk assessment. The application templates, the instructions, the due date, and the link to the programmatic risk assessment can be found on the DHS/DFCS Grant Information webpage under the CSFA number. Fiscal and Administrative Risk Assessment: Grantees must complete the Fiscal and Administrative Risk Assessment on the GATA/CSFA system- also known as the ICQ (short for Internal Controls Questionnaire). Be sure to click "submit" to submit your answers when complete. This is done only once per entity per fiscal year. While it does not have to be completed prior to submitting the application, this step must be done before an applicant or their application can be considered. Indirect Cost Rate: Most, but not all grants will include the potential for a grantee to claim an Indirect Cost Rate to help cover the administration costs related to the grant. For new grantees or new grants, this must be done within 90 days of the grant's effective date. For returning grantees, this must be done within six months following the end of the grantee's fiscal year. All grantees must make a selection. Grant Selection, NOSA and Grant Agreement: If your application is selected for funding, the results of the ICQ and Programmatic Risk Assessment may render conditions that will be included in your Notice of State Award (NOSA). The NOSA will be generated from GATA's CSFA system, and may be delivered via email from that system. (if you change staff or email addresses, be sure to update your GATA registration with that information or the correct person or email will not receive the NOSA.) These conditions may need to be addressed prior to the award becoming a firm grant agreement or they may be addressed over the course of the timeframe of the award. The proposed IDHS grantee must sign-off and return the NOSA to IDHS. Once the grantee accepts the IDHS grant and returns it, IDHS will also accept and the contracting process begins.
