Opportunity Summary:
The G/TIP FY 2012 International Programs to Combat Trafficking in Persons opportunity is a U.S. Department of State funding announcement from the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (TIP Office) aimed at strengthening responses to human trafficking outside the United States. The program is intended to support anti-trafficking initiatives through a competitive grantmaking process, with awards anticipated (pending FY 2012 appropriations) to help organizations design and run projects that prevent trafficking, protect survivors, and improve broader systems and responses in international settings.
A key feature of this opportunity is its two-stage application process. In stage one, interested organizations must submit a brief, two-page Statement of Interest (SOI). These SOIs are reviewed by a competitive panel, and only those that meet the technical requirements and score well in the review are invited to move forward. Stage two consists of a full proposal submission that expands on the SOI, which is again reviewed by a panel for final funding consideration. In practical terms, the SOI acts as a screening step, allowing applicants to present a concise project concept before investing the time required for a full proposal.
Funding under this solicitation is offered as either a grant or a cooperative agreement, and it is categorized under anti-human trafficking activities (CFDA 19.019: International Programs to Combat Human Trafficking). The anticipated funding range spans from an award floor of $50,000 to an award ceiling of $750,000 per project. The announcement indicates there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility, though applicants can still choose to leverage other resources if it strengthens the project design.
The opportunity is open to a broad mix of applicant types. Eligible applicants include U.S.-based and foreign nonprofits and NGOs, public international organizations, and institutions of higher education. The eligibility list also includes public and state-controlled universities, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). This wide eligibility suggests the TIP Office is looking for strong implementers across different sectors, including organizations with on-the-ground programming capacity as well as research or training institutions.
Applicants must submit their SOIs electronically through either www.grantsolutions.gov or www.grants.gov. The deadline for SOI submission is 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) on Friday, November 18, 2011. The opportunity was posted on October 14, 2011, and the archive date is December 18, 2011. The funding opportunity number listed for this solicitation is AT ATC 12 002.
To help potential applicants understand the requirements and expectations, the TIP Office scheduled an informational bidders conference on Monday, October 17, 2011, at the Department of State in Washington, DC. Materials from that session, including presentations and a compiled set of questions and answers, were planned for publication on the TIP Office website (www.state.gov/g/tip) on October 18, 2011. For content-related questions about the SOI requirements, applicants are directed to contact Betsy Bramon (BramonB@state.gov) or Elizabeth Norris (NorrisE@state.gov). The notice also flags that November 11 is a federal holiday and that the help line would be closed on that date, which matters for applicants seeking last-minute assistance.
For technical submission support, the announcement provides help desk resources for both platforms. GrantSolutions.gov Technical Support can be reached at 1-877-577-0771 (Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. EST) and Grants.gov Technical Support at 1-800-518-4726 (Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. EST). An additional support email is listed as help@grantsolutions.gov, which is useful for troubleshooting access issues or submission errors close to the deadline.
