Registration and Pre-Qualification
Prior to applying for any Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), every applicant must first be registered and prequalified. This must be done on or before the application's due date or their application CANNOT be accepted. Make sure to review all the items needed for registration and pre-qualification at Grant Application Information & Instructions before applying for funding.
To apply for this SFY2023 IDHS/SUPR award, the organization must have provided the same services during SFY2022. All potential grantees must first complete the Pre-Qualification Process and FY23 Internal Controls Questionnaire (ICQ) through the Grantee Portal. No application will be considered without pre-qualifications and ICQ completed and submitted.
(Note: If the organization had an address change please submit a new W-9 for your organization. This is important for payment disbursement. Also, any change in the organization's authorized representative must be reflected in appropriate systems.)
When submitting an application, make sure that both documents (application and budget) are submitted together. Incomplete applications may be disqualified resulting in loss of funding.
