An automated email notification is sent to the entity alerting them of "qualified" status or providing information about how to remediate a negative verification (e.g., inactive UEI, not in good standing with the Secretary of State). A federal Debarred and Suspended status cannot be remediated. • For assistance navigating government application prequalification procedure, refer to Grant Applicant Pre-Qualification and Pre-Award Requirements (state.il.us). https://www.dhs.state.il.us/OneNetLibrary/27896/documents/Grants/Grant Applicant Pre-Qualification and Pre-Award Requirements_041223.pdf • Applicants must be prequalified; therefore, applications from entities that have not prequalified prior to the due date of this application will NOT be reviewed until applicant is prequalified. • The following information is required to complete registration: o Organization's Unique Entity Identifier (UEI); For additional information on UEI, refer to Section Unique Entity Identifier and System for Award Management (SAM) below; o Organization's Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN); o Organization type; o Illinois Secretary of State File ID (required for non-profits, for-profits and limited liability corporations); o Organization's name; o Organization's mailing address; o Organization's primary email address; o Organization's primary phone number; o Organization's fiscal year-end date • Applicants will not receive an award if pre-award requirements are not met (https://www.dhs.state.il.us/page.aspx?item=95073#a_InternalIDHScontractProcess) Indirect Cost Rates Indirect Costs may be applied to this grant award.
