Eligibility to Apply
To be eligible for an Illinois Perinatal Quality Collaborative Initiative - ILPQC Partnership contract, all grantees must complete the grantee pre-award requirements:
- Apply for or update their DUNS number. This must be done yearly.
- Apply for or update their SAM registration and receive a SAM cage code. This must be done yearly.
- Be registered and in good standing with the Illinois Secretary of State. (This is not required of governmental entities and schools.)
- Register with the GATA/CSFA system at https://grants.illinois.gov/registration/.
- The system will automatically check registrations with the above mentioned systems. It will also check to see if the agency is on the federal excluded parties list and if the agency is on the State of Illinois Stop Pay/Compliance list. If grantees are not up-to-date on the registrations, or are listed on the federal list or Illinois Stop Pay/Compliance list, grant applications will not be accepted until these situations are resolved.
- Complete the Fiscal and Administrative Risk Assessment on the GATA/CSFA system- also known as the ICQ (short for Internal Controls Questionnaire).

Details about these requirements and applicable links can be found on the Grant Application Information and Instructions webpage or the GATA website.
