  12. $$Reporting Requirements:ED Form 524 and Budget Narrative • Will occur over the summer, typically July or August. • For ARRA funded centers only: The 524 process will begin once your ARRA award period expires. • RSA will send each CIL the amount of the following year’s award; the CIL then completes the ED Form 524 and Budget Narrative for this amount. • ED Form 524 and Budget Narrative must be completed and approved by RSA before next year’s funding will be made available. • The ED Form 524 is for only budget figures; Use the Budget Narrative to explain the details and justification behind those figures. • Activities described in the Budget Narrative must be allowable under Title VII, Part C.

  13. Training Training and Technical Assistance Technical Assistance • SILC-Net , CIL-Net and New Community Options (NCO) are projects of Independent Living Research and Utilization (ILRU, www.Ilru.org) • SILC-NET fosters management and programmatic excellence of SILC members, executives, and staff so they can expand their capacity to promote positive relationships with state agencies and to implement systems change benefiting CILs and their consumers, as well as expand the statewide networks of CILs. (http://www.ilru.org/html/projects/silc-net/). • CIL-NET works to foster management and programmatic excellence on the part of CIL boards, executives, and staffs so that they can expand their capacity to advance the integration, inclusion, and full participation in society of individuals with significant disabilities (http://www.ilru.org/html/projects/cil-net/) • NCO works to assist CILs capacity to assist transition age youth to succeed in their transition to postsecondary education, employment and independent living. The center will also address how these services can best be provided to underserved populations and to individuals who live in isolated rural areas.

  14. CIL-NET Excellence Focus Areas: • Management Excellence • High Impact CILs • Excellence in Core Services • Peer Mentoring & Intensive Support • Training and TA on Specialized Emergent Issues

  15. SILC – NET Focus Areas: • Organizational Excellence • SILC Planning • Roles in transition and home and community based services • In-Depth TA and Intensive Support Also Excellence

  16. New Community Options Focus Areas: • Promoting community-based alternatives to institutionalization with best and promising practices in transition programs and community services. • Providing more integrated and improved services and supports to those seeking to transition from institutions or to remain in the community. • Determining how these services can best be provided to underserved populations and to individuals who live in isolated rural areas.

  17. Tips for Submitting Reports • Know the deadline ahead of time, plan accordingly. • Set up data (including fiscal) systems now- do not wait for report deadlines. • Track and report data internally more often than is required to be produced externally. For example, run quarterly 704 figures. • Institute data quality checks- remember, data submitted to RSA will be verified through on-site monitoring activities. • Have staff backups that can run each report- do not rely on one person. Deadlines cannot be delayed for absent staff. • Assure that emails of key staff are accessible if they are out- these e-mails may include key information.
