Each application will be reviewed for completeness and accuracy. Applications lacking any required information will be returned to the applicant for correction and re-submission. Because the LHPG is a non-competitive, formula-based grant program, all eligible applicants will receive a grant award.

Upon final approval by IDPH of the EGrAMS grant application, the applicant will be sent a grant agreement through EGrAMS. Each applicant will be required to print the grant agreement, sign it and return it to IDPH for execution. After execution, a copy of the executed grant agreement will be provided to the applicant.

LHPG funds may be used by certified local health departments for any health protection program or service including, but not limited to, Infectious Diseases, Food Protection, Potable Water Supply, and Private Sewage Disposal per Section 615.210 of the Local Health Protection Grant Code (77 Ill. Adm. Code 615). LHPG funds are intended to supplement other Federal, State, and local funds available to support local health protection programs, including the four programs that must be assured. Provided the four programs are assured, the local health departments may use the LHPG funds for any health protection program, activity or service, or for shared management or administrative support costs (which must be detailed by budget line item). Grant funds for the additional SFY 2020-21 grant programs may be used by certified local health departments towards applicable programs and services intended in each grant program’s funding and eligibility requirements and program standards found in each program’s grant code or administrative rules.
