PROGRAM INFORMATION
Short Description
Independent Service Coordination (ISC) agencies serve as the primary connection between individuals (and guardians) who are seeking or receiving developmental disability services and the Illinois Department of Human Services' Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD). Activities include outreach, eligibility determination, linkage to services, management of the Prioritization of Urgency of Need for Services (PUNS) database, case management (including ensuring informed choice, plan development and monitoring), and coordination of service delivery from other sources. These service coordination activities are critical contributions to a comprehensive system of high-quality services for individuals with developmental disabilities. ISC agencies are essential to providing accurate individual information for statewide planning, as well as collaborating with service providers to ensure individuals health, safety, welfare, well-being, and satisfaction with services funded by DDD.

Preapplication Coordination
Applications must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. on November 12, 2018. The application container will be time-stamped upon receipt. The Division will ONLY accept applications submitted by electronic mail. Applications will NOT be accepted if received by fax machine, hard copy, disk or thumb drive. Applications will be opened as they are received. Applicants will receive an email (within 72 hours of receipt or 120 hours if received on a non-business day) notifying them that their application was received and if it was received by the due date and time. This email reply will be sent to the original sender of the application. Applications received after the due date and time will not be considered for review or funding.
Review teams comprised of 3 individuals employed by DHS serving in the Division of Developmental Disabilities will be assigned to review applications. Each application will first be scored individually. Then, review team members will collectively review the application, their scores, and comments to ensure review team members have not missed items within the application that other review team members identified. Application highlights and concerns will be discussed. Individual review team members may choose to adjust scores to appropriately capture content that may have been missed initially. Scores will then be sent to the application Review Coordinator to be compiled and averaged to produce the single final application score. Three areas of proposals will be analyzed in the merit-based review process.
