Illinois WISEWOMAN Program grant applications are reviewed by IDPH staff to determine if the application is complete and accurate. The following components must be submitted by all applicants: Applicant Information, Applicant Grant History, Applicant’s Agreement to Adhere to Scope of Work, Grant Budget, Certifications, and Attachments (W-9, medical provider listing, and key staff resumes/CPR certifications). A review checklist is utilized to ensure all required components have been submitted. If no corrections or additions are needed, the applicant will receive a grant award. If corrections or additions are needed, the applicant will be contacted to request the required items. Upon submission of the required items, the applicant will receive a grant award.

Upon completion of the application submission and review process, and the provision of any missing or corrected items as appropriate, each successful grantee will receive a grant agreement to be signed by the entity’s authorized official. The grant agreement is not binding on the parties until it has been fully executed by the Illinois Department of Public Health and a fully executed copy has been provided to the grantee.
