WEBINAR: GATA Pre-Award Presentation for Illinois Funding Opportunities

WEBINAR DESCRIPTION:

Interested in applying for grants from the State of Illinois? You will need to register in the GATA system to access any application or award!

This live webinar will give you the information you need to register correctly. When Illinois state grants will be released, we want you to be prepared! The Grant Accountability and Transparency Act (GATA) Pre-Award preparation session will help you prepare to quickly act on Notice of Funding Opportunities. In this session, we will cover a list of prerequisites to prepare for registration to be able to submit a grant application to the state of Illinois. We will also discuss the process of the needed risk assessments before the issuance of a state award.

Below are the five grantee pre-award requirements for the GATA:

1. Authentication

2. Grantee Registration

3. Grantee Pre-qualification

4. Fiscal and Administrative Risk Assessment (ICQ)
