Frequently Asked Questions
Q 1. What is the grant period?
A 1. FY2011-FY2014
Frequently Asked Questions
Q 2. How much funding is available per
county?
A 2. Each of the 23 counties will receive
$18,000 in base funding to start the
Assessment and Capacity steps from April 1,
2011-June 30, 2011. This funding will assist
counties in hiring a full-time staff person
dedicated to the project, supplies, benefits,
mileage to trainings and meetings, support
for a local EPI workgroup and other costs as
necessary.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q 2. How much funding is available per county?
A 2. In FY11, counties will receive $18,000 to
begin work on the Assessment and Capacity
steps of the SPF. During FY12, counties will
receive a $70,000 base and another level of
funding dependent on county population
based on 2009 Census data. This funding
model is an equitable way to distribute
additional funding to each county and will
provide additional resources to counties with a
higher population.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q 3. Can a staff member’s time be split with
another project?
A 3. The expectation is that each county will
hire a fulltime FTE to manage all aspects of
the SPF SIG Project in the county. The staff
may be included in a subcontract. Other
situations would need to be clearly justified
and approved by IDPH.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q 4. Can community specific issues/strategies
be funded since this is a county project?
A 4. A specific community coalition could
be funded with a subcontract to carry out
part of the Action Plan only in the specific
community so long as over the entire Action
Plan appropriate strategies are implemented
in the entire county.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q 5. Is information available about future years
of funding after FY2012?
A 5. Future budgets will be dependent on
congressional appropriations and approval of
any carry over funds. If the SPF SIG would be
level funded for FY2013 and FY2014, funding
levels may be similar in FY2013 and FY2014 to
FY2012 but that is only the best projection for
now.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q5. When will contract amendments be
issued?
A5. IDPH will need a letter from each
Comprehensive agency stating their intent to
participate in the project. Then each county
will need to complete their Collaboration
Agreement in order to decide the county
budget. After a budget is submitted to IDPH,
the contract amendment process will begin.
