Opportunity Summary:

The J/TIP FY 2013 International Programs to Combat Trafficking in Persons Request for Statements of Interest (SOIs) is a U.S. Department of State funding opportunity issued by the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (often referred to as J/TIP). It supports international anti-trafficking work through discretionary federal assistance, with awards made as either grants or cooperative agreements. The program falls under CFDA 19.019, International Programs to Combat Human Trafficking, and the activity focus is plainly centered on anti-trafficking in persons efforts.

This particular notice is a request for Statements of Interest rather than a full application at the initial stage, meaning organizations were first asked to submit a concise concept or expression of interest in proposed programming, and then follow the instructions in the full grant announcement for the next steps and detailed requirements. The opportunity was posted on December 21, 2012, with an original closing date of January 21, 2013, later updated to a current closing date of January 22, 2013. The archive date is listed as February 21, 2013, indicating the period during which the solicitation was active and publicly available.

Funding levels for individual awards were expected to range from a floor of $100,000 to a ceiling of $750,000. The opportunity also explicitly states that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to provide a formal non-federal match as a condition of eligibility, though applicants could still propose leveraged resources if allowed in the full announcement. Because the funding instrument could be a cooperative agreement, applicants should expect that, in some awards, the Department of State may have anticipated a more hands-on federal role than in a standard grant, such as participation in project planning, coordination, monitoring, or other forms of substantial involvement (the exact level of involvement would be defined in the full announcement and award terms).

Eligibility for the solicitation was broad across several U.S.-recognized organizational types. Eligible applicants included nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), private institutions of higher education, small businesses, and for-profit organizations that are not small businesses. The notice clarifies that international organizations (IOs) were not included as eligible applicants under this solicitation, while non-governmental organizations (NGOs) were included. In practice, this means many civil society implementers could apply, but certain intergovernmental entities would not be eligible as prime applicants, though they might potentially participate as partners or subrecipients depending on the rules in the full announcement.

The agency contact information indicates that applicants needing help accessing the full announcement could contact the J/TIP office by email at jtipgrants@state.gov (the listing also shows a similar address with a typo, but the correct address appears to be jtipgrants@state.gov). The solicitation directs applicants to the full grant announcement for complete details on what kinds of international anti-trafficking projects were prioritized, what the SOI should contain, how submissions would be evaluated, and what compliance and reporting requirements would apply.
