IDHS/SUPR

In order to improve access to MAR services, we will support the creation, integration, and expansion of Bridge Clinics for immediate access to MAR including virtual bridge clinics. 24/7 access to MAR for new initiation or re-initiation of medication assisted recovery with continued services or referral to a SUPR licensed SUD treatment provider for supportive counseling services and other wrap around services will be provided. There is early evidence of positive outcomes resulting from the rapid shift to delivering SUD services via telehealth. Even prior to the current public health crisis, telephone-based recovery supports, and SUD services delivered through video-conferencing were associated with retention in services, lower rates of missed appointments and higher rates of patient satisfaction. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, telehealth has become more widely used as an effective tool for engaging and retaining patients with SUD in care. Feedback from clinicians treating individuals with OUD points to the positive impacts of telehealth on interactions with patients and the increase in access for those seeking care, particularly those in under-resourced areas (urban underserved and rural).

GATA Grantee Portal Registration An applicant may apply for funding but will not be eligible for an award until the applicant has pre-qualified through the Grant Accountability and Transparency Act (GATA) Grantee Portal, www.grants.illinois.gov. During pre-qualification, Dun and Bradstreet verifications are performed including a check of Debarred and Suspended status and good standing with the Secretary of State. The pre-qualification process also includes a financial and administrative risk assessment utilizing an Internal Controls Questionnaire. If applicable, the applicant will be notified that it is ineligible for award as a result of the Dun and Bradstreet verification. The applicant will be informed of corrective action needed to become eligible for a grant award. Each applicant (unless the applicant is an individual or federal or state awarding agency that is exempt from requirements under 2 CFR § 25.110(b) or (c), or has an exception approved by the federal or state awarding agency under 2 CFR § 25.110(d)) is also required to: 1.

A Federal pass-through or State award cannot be made until the applicant has complied with all applicable DUNS and SAM requirements. If an applicant has not fully complied with the requirements by the time the State awarding agency is ready to make a Federal pass-through or State award, the State awarding agency may determine that the applicant is not qualified and use that determination as a basis for making a Federal pass-through or State award to another applicant. Failure to meet any of the criteria for eligibility by the time of the application deadline will result in the State awarding agency returning the application without review or, even though an application may be reviewed, will preclude the State awarding agency from making a State award.
