All competitive grant applications are subject to merit-based review. Review criteria is based upon the requirements set forth in the following: • 44 IL Adm. Code 7000.350 – Merit Based Review of Grant Applications (http://www.ilga.gov/commission/jcar/admincode/044/044070000D03500R.html.) • the IDHS Merit Based Review Manual.

Proposals will be reviewed by a team consisting of qualified individuals assigned by staff from IDHS. Panel members will read and evaluate applications independently using guidelines furnished by IDHS. Scoring will be on a 100-point scale. Scoring will not be the sole award criteria. While recommendations of the review panel will be a key factor in the funding decisions, IDHS considers the findings of the review panel to be non-binding recommendations. IDHS maintains final authority over funding decisions and reserves the right to consider additional factors, such as geographical distribution of proposed service areas and patient population characteristics when making final award decisions. Also, IDHS is working to counteract systemic racism and inequity, and to prioritize and maximize diversity within the department and throughout its service provision process. This work involves addressing existing institutionalized inequities, aiming to create transformation, operationalizing equity, and racial justice. It also focuses on the creation of a culture of inclusivity for all regardless of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or ability.

IDHS/SUPR will provide notice to the successful applicant prior to executing an agreement for the award funds. This notice is not authorization to begin the proposal. Unsuccessful applicants will also be notified at this time. The notice of award letter, sent under separate cover, and signed by the IDHS grants officer (or equivalent) is the authorizing document. IDHS reserves the right to negotiate with successful applicants to cover under-served areas that may result from this process. In NO case will more than one proposal be funded for the same provider organization. IDHS may contact applicants to obtain clarification regarding any aspects of an application prior to making any awards. IDHS is not obligated to make any State award as a result of the announcement.
