Local Early Childhood Collaborations were eligible to submit proposals. Birth to Five Illinois defines a Local Early Childhood Collaboration as community partners like caregivers, small business owners, and educators, working as a collective to improve local early learning and care opportunities for families. All Our Kids (AOK) Networks were not eligible to apply.
Collaborations could submit proposals for up to $75,000 in alignment with the proposed activities. Collaborations must meet the requirements of becoming a subcontractor as outlined by ISBE. This includes completion of Standard Illinois Certifications and Financial Disclosures and Conflicts of Interest forms.
Employer Identification Number (EIN). Subcontractors will submit Monthly Expense Reports by the 10th of each month. Aligning Coordinated Intake and referrals across systems.
(e.g., Integrated Referral and Intake System (IRIS).) Coordinating developmental screening events in collaboration with community partners. Conducting outreach to families with children from birth to age five to share resources and engage/enroll in programming.
Translating Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) resource materials with cultural sensitivity into the common languages of local communities. Providing in-person interpretation during ECEC Collaboration meetings and events. Creating partnerships with institutions of higher learning and programs like the Gateways to Opportunity ECE Credential Level 1 for high school to address ECEC workforce challenges.

Serving as a resource and thought partner for families and other ECEC Collaborations and community partners. The subcontracts are paid on a reimbursement basis. Advance payments will not be approved.
Reimbursement will be based on submitted Monthly Expense Reports with a 30-day lag. (i.e., January expenses would be reported by February 10 and reimbursed in March.) FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs) What is a Local Early Childhood Collaboration?
Birth to Five Illinois defines a Local Early Childhood Collaboration as community partners like caregivers, small business owners, and educators, working as a collective to improve local early learning and care opportunities for families. Will former subcontractors of Birth to Five Illinois automatically receive subcontracts in FY26? No. Subcontracts will be issued based on the submissions received.
Any interested Collaborations will need to submit a proposal and be selected for funding. Why are All Our Kids Networks (AOKs) ineligible for Birth to Five Illinois Funding? AOKs operate as a collaborative effort between the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) and the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) and receive funding from the State through IDHS.
Birth to Five Illinois has chosen to focus its limited funding on the Collaborations who do not receive sustained funding from the State. With the shift to a new Department of Early Childhood, it is our hope that Early Childhood Collaborations of all types will be considered viable conduits for investment to improve Early Childhood systems at the local level. https://www.
dhs. state. il.
us/page. aspx? item=31866 Will expenses be reimbursed retroactively to July 1, 2025.
No, expenses will not be retroactively reimbursed. Expenses that occur after the subcontract starts will be reimbursed. Is Grant Accountability and Transparency Act (GATA) qualification required?
No. Since these are subcontracts not grants, GATA qualification is not required. Why has the total funding available and the amount for each subcontract decreased this year? The overall amount we were able to secure in our contract with ISBE for subcontracts was lower for FY26.
If our Collaboration received a 2025 Planning Grant, are we eligible to apply for an FY26 subcontract? No. Recipients of 2025 Planning Grants are not eligible to apply for FY26 Subcontracts. Our 2025 Planning Grants run through February 2026.
If you are a current subcontract recipient for 2025, are you eligible to apply again for 2026? Yes, current subcontract recipients are encouraged to apply for FY26 subcontracts. When will the Collaborations be notified of awards?
Recipients will be notified in early September 2025, and the subcontracts will run through June 15, 2026. When will the FY26 Subcontracts begin? We anticipate sending award notifications in early September.
Each subcontract will be executed individually, so each recipient will have their own start date. Is there any flexibility with the June 15, 2026 end date? The 15th presents a problem with payroll processing.
We understand this might mean that you would not be able to pay staff through the entire month of June. You would need to end their pay in May if you want to include staff in the subcontract. What are some examples of indirect costs?
Indirect costs are for things you would need in order employ individuals at your place of business. It could be the lights, heat, office space, etc. Indirect costs are not chargeable to the subcontract. Is rent considered an indirect cost?
If you are paying for space for a specific date because you are convening people for activities related to the subcontract, you could charge that portion of the cost to the subcontract. If it is general rent for operations, that would be considered an indirect cost, which could not be charged to the subcontract. Is rent for storage considered an operating expense?
We would have to talk about why you would need storage. You will select specific activities from the list in the application, so if there is an activity for which you would need storage we could discuss. If the storage is for your own general operations, you could not charge that to the subcontract.
Since we are submitting for two health departments, if selected, would the amount be split between the two? Or is that considered subcontracting? If this were a grant, we would ask you to submit it collaboratively and let you split it.
However, because this is for a subcontract, we need you to submit two separate proposals. Must we have an Early Childhood Collaboration certificate? You do not need to have any type of certificate to say that you are an Early Childhood Collaboration.
If you are questioning whether you are a Collaboration, contact us , and we will have a conversation. Contact Birth to Five Illinois with any questions.

Las Colaboraciones Locales de la Primera Infancia fueron elegibles para presentar propuestas. Birth to Five Illinois define una Colaboración Local para la Primera Infancia como socios comunitarios como cuidadores, propietarios de pequeñas empresas y educadores que trabajen como un colectivo para mejorar las oportunidades locales de aprendizaje temprano y cuidado para las familias. Las redes All Our Kids no pueden presentar solicitudes.
Las Colaboraciones podrán presentar propuestas por hasta 75,000 dólares en consonancia con las actividades propuestas. Las Colaboraciones deben cumplir con los requisitos para convertirse en subcontratista según lo descrito por la ISBE. Esto incluye completar las Certificaciones Estándar de Illinois y los formularios de Divulgaciones Financieras y Conflictos de Intereses.
Número de identificación del empleador (EIN). Los subcontratistas presentarán informes de gastos mensuales antes del día 10 de cada mes. Alineación de admisiones y derivaciones coordinadas entre sistemas.

GRABACIÓN DEL SEMINARIO WEB INFORMATIVO Traducción disponible al verla en YouTube. ¿Qué es una Colaboración Local para la Primera Infancia?
Birth to Five Illinois define las Colaboraciones Locales para la Primera Infancia como socios tales como cuidadores, propietarios de pequeñas empresas y educadores, que trabajan de forma colectiva para mejorar las oportunidades locales de aprendizaje y atención temprana para las familias. ¿Recibirán automáticamente subcontratistas los antiguos beneficiarios de Birth to Five Illinois en FY26?
No. Los subcontratos se emitirán en función de las propuestas recibidas. Las Colaboraciones interesadas deberán presentar una propuesta y ser seleccionadas para recibir financiamiento. ¿Por qué las redes de primera infancia All Our Kids (AOK) no son elegibles para recibir fondos de Birth to Five Illinois?
AOKs operan como un esfuerzo de colaboración entre la Junta de Educación del Estado de Illinois (ISBE) y el Departamento de Servicios Humanos de Illinois (IDHS) y reciben fondos del Estado a través de IDHS. Birth to Five Illinois ha optado por centrar su limitada financiación en las Colaboraciones que no reciben financiación sostenida del Estado.
Con el cambio a un nuevo Departamento de la Primera Infancia, es nuestra esperanza que las Colaboraciones de la Primera Infancia de todos los tipos sean consideradas conductos viables de inversión para mejorar los sistemas de la Primera Infancia a nivel local. https://www. dhs.

aspx? item=31866 ¿Se reembolsarán los gastos de forma retroactiva al 1 de julio de 2025? No, los gastos no se reembolsarán de forma retroactiva.
Se reembolsarán los gastos que se produzcan una vez iniciado el subcontrato. ¿Es necesaria la calificación de la Ley de Responsabilidad y Transparencia de Subvenciones (GATA)? No. Dado que se trata de subcontratos y no de subvenciones, no se requiere la calificación GATA.
¿Por qué este año han disminuido el total de financiamiento disponible y el monto de cada subcontrato? El monto total que pudimos asegurar en nuestro contrato con ISBE para subcontratos fue menor para el año fiscal 26. Si nuestra Colaboración recibió una Subvención Monetaria de Planificación en 2025, ¿somos elegibles para solicitar un subcontrato para el año fiscal 2026?
No. Los beneficiarios de las Subvenciones Monetarias de Planificación del año fiscal 2025 no son elegibles para solicitar subcontratos para el año fiscal 26. Nuestras Subvenciones Monetarias de Planificación 2025 se extenderán hasta febrero de 2026. Si usted es actualmente beneficiario de un subcontrato para 2025, ¿es elegible para presentar nuevamente una solicitud para 2026?
Sí, se alienta a los actuales beneficiarios de subcontratos a solicitar subcontratos para el año fiscal 26. ¿Cuándo se notificarán las adjudicaciones a las Colaboraciones? Los beneficiarios serán notificados a principios de septiembre de 2025 y los subcontratos se extenderán hasta el 15 de junio de 2026.
¿Cuándo comenzarán los subcontratos del año fiscal 26? Prevemos enviar notificaciones de adjudicaciones a principios de septiembre. Cada subcontrato se ejecutará de forma individual, por lo que cada beneficiario tendrá su propia fecha de inicio.
¿Existe alguna flexibilidad con la fecha de finalización del 15 de junio de 2026? Los días 15 presentan un problema con el procesamiento de la nómina. Entendemos que esto podría significar que usted no podrá pagar al personal durante todo el mes de junio.
Si desea incluir personal en el subcontrato, necesitaría finalizar su pago en mayo. ¿Cuáles son algunos ejemplos de costos indirectos? Los costos indirectos son las cosas que usted necesitaría para emplear personas en su lugar de trabajo.
Podrían ser las luces, la calefacción, el espacio de oficina, etc. Los costos indirectos no son imputables al subcontrato. ¿La renta se considera un costo indirecto? Si está pagando por un espacio para una fecha específica porque va a convocar a personas para actividades relacionadas con el subcontrato, podría cargar esa parte del costo al subcontrato.
Si se trata de una renta general de operación, eso se consideraría un costo indirecto, que no podría cargarse al subcontrato. ¿La renta de espacio de almacenamiento se considera un gasto operativo? Tendríamos que hablar de por qué necesitaría almacenamiento.
Usted seleccionará actividades específicas de la lista en la aplicación, por lo que si hay una actividad para la que necesitaría almacenamiento, podremos analizarla. Si el almacenamiento es para sus propias operaciones generales, no podrá cargarlo al subcontrato. Dado que estamos presentando solicitud por dos departamentos de salud, si somos seleccionados, ¿el monto se dividirá entre los dos?
¿O eso se considera subcontratación? Si se tratara de una subvención, le pediríamos que la presentara de forma colaborativa y le permitiríamos dividirla. Sin embargo, como se trata de un subcontrato, necesitamos que envíe dos propuestas por separado.
¿Debemos tener un certificado de Colaboración de la Primera Infancia? No es necesario tener ningún tipo de certificado para poder afirmar que se es una Colaboración de la Primera Infancia. Si tiene dudas sobre si su operación constituye una Colaboración, contáctenos y tendremos una conversación sobre ello.

Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Education & Human Resources (IUSE: EHR) Program is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). This program promotes novel, creative, and transformative approaches to generating and using new knowledge about STEM teaching and learning to improve STEM education for undergraduate students. It supports projects that bring recent advances in STEM knowledge into undergraduate education, adapt, improve, and incorporate evidence-based practices, and lay the groundwork for institutional improvement in STEM education. Professional development for instructors to ensure adoption of new and effective pedagogical techniques is a potential topic of interest.
The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment. Applications to IMLS should both advance knowledge and understanding and ensure that the federal investment made generates benefits to society. Specifically, the goals for this program are to generate projects of far-reaching impact that: • Build the workforce and institutional capacity for managing the national information infrastructure and serving the information and education needs of the public. • Build the capacity of libraries and archives to lead and contribute to efforts that improve community well-being and strengthen civic engagement. • Improve the ability of libraries and archives to provide broad access to and use of information and collections with emphasis on collaboration to avoid duplication and maximize reach. • Strengthen the ability of libraries to provide services to affected communities in the event of an emergency or disaster. • Strengthen the ability of libraries, archives, and museums to work collaboratively for the benefit of the communities they serve. Throughout its work, IMLS places importance on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This may be reflected in an IMLS-funded project in a wide range of ways, including efforts to serve individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; individuals with disabilities; individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills; individuals having difficulty using a library or museum; and underserved urban and rural communities, including children from families with incomes below the poverty line. Application Process: The application process for the NLG-L program has two phases; applicants must begin by applying for Phase I. For Phase I, all applicants must submit Preliminary Proposals by the September 20th deadline listed for this Notice of Funding Opportunity. For Phase II, only selected applicants will be invited to submit Full Proposals, and only those Invited Full Proposals will be considered for funding. Invited Full Proposals will be due March 20, 2024. Funding Opportunity Number: NLG-LIBRARIES-FY24. Assistance Listing: 45.312. Funding Instrument: G. Category: AR,HU. Award Amount: $50K – $1M per award.
The California Department of Education (CDE) Early Education Division is making approximately .7 million available to expand California State Preschool Program (CSPP) services statewide, appropriated under the 2021 Budget Act. Eligible applicants are local educational agencies (LEAs), including school districts, county offices of education, community college districts, and direct-funded charter schools—both current CSPP contractors and new applicants. Funding supports full-day/full-year or part-day/part-year preschool services for income-eligible children beginning in FY 2024–25. Awards are allocated by county based on Local Planning Council priority areas and application scores, with redistribution provisions if county allocations are underutilized.
