The electronic Grants Management
System was developed in FY 2005 with the primary goal of
reducing grant preparation
time for local education agencies, improve data quality
and communications, standardize ISBE grant applications,
and
improve efficiency of the grant review and approval. The
first application created in the eGMS was the NCLB Consolidated
application. Other grant programs developed to date are
indicated below.
- NCLB Consolidated application (2005)
- Title I, Part A, Improving the Academic Achievement
of the Disadvantaged
- Title II, Part A, Teacher Quality
- Title II, Part
D, Enhancing Education Through Technology (formula
grant)
- Title IV, Part A, Safe and Drug-Free Schools
and Communities
- Title V, Part A, Innovative Programs
- Title
VI, Rural Education Initiative (2006)
- Early Childhood Block Grant (Continuing) 3-5 (2006)
- Early Childhood Block Grant (Continuing) 0-3 (2006)
- Reading Improvement Block Grant (2006)
- IDEA Part B Flow Through and Preschool (scheduled for
2008)
Local education agencies must use ISBE’s Web Application
Security System (IWAS) to access eGMS and submit the eGMS
applications via the Internet.
Access
eGMS through IWAS 
Please make sure that you have your approval groups properly
assigned through IWAS in order to access eGMS and submit
your
applications. eGMS will significantly reduce grant preparation
time for local education agencies, improve data quality
and
communications, standardize ISBE grant applications, and
improve efficiency of the grant review and approval process.
