Required next actionTreat as designated-program continuity only. Verify the exact September 25, 2026 submission clock time and time zone in the live AmpliFund workflow before any deadline-dependent action. Confirm the applicant is the designated Regional Ombudsman Program Area Agency on Aging for the applicable PSA allocation; verify current GATA/AmpliFund requirements, Programmatic Risk Assessment, narrative, budget, chief-officer information, and applicant-only certifications; then apply CRM deduplication, Email_Opt_Out, authoritative-recipient, business-email, sent-history, and 48-hour controls. Do not introduce N9+.
Broad Eligibility
Noncompetitive continuation opportunity limited to designated Regional Ombudsman Program Area Agencies on Aging operating under the Illinois Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program. General healthcare providers, nursing facilities, vendors, and unrelated nonprofits are not general applicants.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 72/100. N9+ Fit Score 0/100. Current official Euna materials show $1.25 million in State funding, 13 noncompetitive awards, and an award range of $45,218-$241,656. The application instructions limit use to Regional Ombudsman Program retention/recruitment and related allowable program costs, cap administration at 5%, prohibit supplanting specified existing funding, and do not support indirect costs. No match is required under the current program instructions. There is no defensible N9+, telehealth, remote-exam, diagnostic-device, or QC Healthcare procurement pathway. Publication is appropriate for Illinois grant intelligence, but broad new-prospect outreach is not appropriate; any incumbent continuity action remains fail-closed until the exact public submission clock time/time zone and CRM controls are verified.
The Illinois Department on Aging FY27 RO/CO Retention Grant supports recruitment and retention for designated Regional Long-Term Care Ombudsman Programs, whose work protects the health, safety, rights, and quality of life of residents in long-term care facilities.
The current live Illinois opportunity provides $1,250,000 in State funding through 13 noncompetitive awards, with an award range of $45,218 to $241,656 and PSA-specific allocations in the Euna/AmpliFund record. The current Illinois GATA funding list shows the application period ending September 25, 2026. The public Euna page does not publish the exact closing clock time or time zone, so Atlas does not infer either and does not release deadline-dependent outreach without that hard gate being resolved.
Eligibility is narrow. The live opportunity identifies eligible applicants as designated Regional Ombudsman Program Area Agencies on Aging. Atlas therefore treats this as an incumbent/designated-program continuity opportunity rather than a general prospecting grant.
Current application instructions require AmpliFund submission and include a Programmatic Risk Assessment, program narrative, budget materials, and applicant organizational information. The award period is July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Program funds support recruitment and retention and related allowable Regional Ombudsman Program costs. Administration is capped at 5%, indirect costs are not supported, and the instructions prohibit supplanting specified existing Title III, Title VII, and local funding. The current program instructions do not require matching funds.
N9+ fit is 0/100. The published purpose is ombudsman staffing and program support, not clinical equipment, telehealth, diagnostics, remote examination, or patient-care technology procurement. Atlas should not introduce N9+ for this opportunity.
