Attachment D_Non-Competitive Grants Overview~1.pdf

This document is a procedural flowchart detailing the non-competitive grants process for the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE). The chart illustrates the workflow between two primary organizational entities: the ISBE Program Areas and the ISBE eGMS Team. The document outlines the sequential steps and decision points involved in managing non-competitive grant awards within the ISBE framework.

The process begins when ISBE Program Areas are notified of a grant and conduct a team review to determine whether a new application is required. If new application requirements are needed, the team creates and implements these requirements before proceeding. If existing requirements suffice, the team performs red-line revisions. The workflow then transitions to the ISBE eGMS Team, which creates the application in the system, facilitates grant application testing, and publishes the grant. Concurrently, ISBE Program Areas secure approval and funding for the grant. Following publication, the eGMS Team receives and reviews grant applications, and upon completion of the review process, releases grant funds and monitors expenditures. This cyclical process ensures systematic oversight of non-competitive grant distribution and fund management within ISBE's operational structure.
