Opportunity Summary:
The grant notice titled "Efforts to Reduce Child Labor and Improve Labor Rights and Working Conditions in Honduras" is a Notice of Intent (NOI) from the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), specifically the Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB). The key point is that this is not an open application yet and it is not requesting proposals at this stage. Instead, it serves as an advance public signal that USDOL intends, if funding is available, to release a formal Solicitation for Cooperative Agreement Applications (SCA) at a later date. In practical terms, the NOI is meant to help interested organizations prepare for a future competition, but it does not contain the full project requirements, selection criteria, or application instructions that would normally appear in the actual solicitation.
The planned program focus is Honduras, with the overall objective of supporting efforts that reduce childrens participation in child labor while also strengthening labor rights and improving working conditions more broadly. USDOL indicates it may make one or more awards, meaning there could be multiple projects funded depending on resources and program design once the solicitation is released. The funding instrument is expected to be a cooperative agreement, which typically means the government anticipates being more involved in the project during implementation than it would be under a standard grant (for example, through collaboration, technical input, or joint planning), although the exact roles and expectations would be spelled out in the future SCA.
USDOLs Office of Procurement Services expected to publish the SCA on or about May 2014, with the caveat that the date could change. The opportunity record lists an original and current closing date of May 31, 2014, and an archive date of June 30, 2014, reflecting the NOI posting timeline rather than a true application deadline for the eventual solicitation. The posted date and creation date are both March 5, 2014. The opportunity is categorized under Employment, Labor and Training, but it is explicitly labeled as an NOI rather than a request for applications. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as 0 in this listing, which is consistent with the document being a preliminary notice rather than a full funding announcement that specifies an amount.
Eligibility is broad. The notice states that commercial, international, educational, and nonprofit organizations may be eligible, including faith-based organizations, community-based organizations, and public international organizations, as long as they can demonstrate the capability to successfully reduce child labor and promote labor rights. It also emphasizes that an organization does not need prior experience managing USDOL cooperative agreements, grants, or contracts to be eligible, which is an important signal that newer implementers or organizations without a USDOL track record are not automatically excluded. The listing indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
For organizations interested in applying once the competition opens, the notice stresses that the official SCA will be made available through Grants.gov and that no email or paper copies will be distributed. It also points readers to ILAB grant guidance and examples of past solicitations on the Department of Labor website to understand the general structure and expectations of these announcements. If an applicant has trouble accessing the announcement electronically, the point of contact provided is Lloyd Sabino, Grant Specialist, reachable at ops.grantoffice@dol.gov. The funding opportunity number associated with this notice is NOI 02 HONDURAS, and the agency name listed is OASAM, reflecting the USDOL organizational unit associated with the posting.
